  • Karla's Kolumn: Don't be a Negative Nelly

    Karla Pomeroy, Editor|Dec 1, 2018

    I used to think people nowadays are easily offended but after a few things happened this week I have come to a different conclusion. People are not necessarily easily offended by things as they are looking for the bad in everything rather than trying to see the positive. For the most part I consider myself a skeptic but not a pessimist. I tell people I'm a realist. I don't look at a glass half full or half empty I just look at it as that is all you have. No more, no less. You can either drink...

  • Hear Me Out...Do we really need a billion bowl games?

    Alex Kuhn, Sports Editor|Dec 1, 2018

    College football bowl season is right around the corner and ESPN has been airing their bowl season ads with Andy Williams' "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" playing over the top college football highlights. I agree with Mr. Williams, this is the most wonderful time of the year. Thanksgiving, all the Christmas festivities, Christmas and New Year's are some of the best weeks on the calendar.

He was 94. The World War II hero, who also presided during the collapse of the Soviet Union and the final months of the Cold War, died late Friday night at his Houston home, said family spokesman Jim McGrath. His wife of more than 70 years,...
