VETERANS: Sweet Lou's delight
After the Veterans Day ceremony at McEuen Park last Saturday, several of us went to Sweet Lou’s restaurant for our “free” meal. It was much more than that.
RESPONSE: Divisive drivel
Dear Mr. Ridout,
TURNOUT: An inside story
Benjamin Franklin was once asked what kind of government we will have. “A Republic, ma’am, if you can keep it,” he replied. I am very concerned after last Tuesday’s election with only 8.45 percent turnout that mayb…
