November’s election needs to be about the people who are unemployed or underemployed and how best to increase wages. It worked for Bill Clinton. “It’s the economy, stupid” was coined by Clinton’s campaign strategist James Carville in Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential campaign against President George H. W.

The following year when the economy soured and the President had to swallo... Full story

They are as follows: Jim and Cheryl Haase, Colonel Collie, Pete Collard, Ronald Evans, Bobby Nay, Paul Pierce, Mike Steinberger, Ken Russell, Jason Miller, Brendon Smith, Larry Swift, Dave Breazel...
(This is for Anita, my friend who is always encouraging.) My husband, Mark, is a provider. As in too-many-to-remember successive years now, he brought home the gutted carcass of another soft-eyed, graceful member of God’s creation, slain by a shell in a rifle carefully aimed at its gentle heart by him. Tasty and nutritious though venison is, the image of a sobbing, scared Bambi and his dead mother always cross my mind when this holocaustic season arrives. So instead of the morbid, I focus on the trip’s positive aspects for...

On Thursday Oct. 16 the LRS Lady Broncos took on the Liberty Lancers in an away game. The Lancers had been able to defeat the Broncos earlier this year at the Rosalia Tournament and Coach Cari Galbreath expected the team would face fierce competition from the Lancers saying they were much improved from previous years and they seemed “hungry” to defeat the Broncos. The Lancers pushed the match to five, winning the first and fourth sets 25-17 and 25-10. The Broncos took the seco...
