The recent school board meeting raises major red flags for our county. As a county commissioner and someone who has been apart of school board and city council meetings, I have never seen any of these bodies of government post 4-5 signs during a public meeting that essentially read if you speak out or cause a disruption we can charge you with a misdemeanor. At the county level and from my involvement with the city council as well, we are always welcome to public opinion and citizen concerns. I feel as a citizen and elected official it is a...
We’re becoming a nation of soothsayers, crystal ball gazers, and now independant paparazzi wannabees. Each one believes their story is the equalizer for a life well lived. The “white noise” has “verbal soot” saturated in it. When did “protest” become the “Be All” of Action? The “right to petiton” our government means a “formally drawn-up request, addressed to a person or body of persons in authority”, not mobs of people boisterously “camped-out”in our streets. This manner of hollering for “action in the moment” sounds precariously equ...

As I sit here admiring my 88-cent container of mustard, I can’t help feeling self-conscious. I know that restaurants advertise their “value menus” and retailers offer no-frills knockoffs of their glitziest products, but I keep picturing the corporate CEOs loathing such concessions as a necessary evil to appease the (ugh!) cheapskate rabble. (“I thought all the franchise owners got the memo to partner with Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and upsell customers the Eternally Happy Meal!”)...
Last week was a very trying and unusual weather week, on Wednesday afternoon we had hail along with thunder and lightening and lot of rain, the hail was as large as baseballs in some areas, and this can certainly damage cars, houses and animals that are out in the open.

We are still having lots of rain along with thunderstorms. Monday started off with thunder and rain in the early...
