Don Locke: Lookin Thru Bifocals

An hour into sun up and a month into summer, it was uphill all the way – the rest of the way; granddad Locke had barely broken a sweat.  He wasn’t even breathing hard.  Me? I was “ridin’ drag”, breathing hard and sweating, struggling with the lighter assembly of a house jack, the stand.  Granddad carried the head.  We had come about two miles, mostly on level ground.

Cheryl Hughes: Edutainment

It drives my husband, Garey, crazy when he asks me a question—or even wonders aloud about something he doesn’t understand—and I grab my cell phone to look up the answer.  I don’t know why, unless it’s that so much can be answered by so few keystrokes, and that process has turned me into a know-it-all or maybe, he feels left out of the process.  I don’t mean left out in the terms of not having access to the same technology.  He has an iphone and the same access to the internet the rest of us have.  I’m talking about left out because “answers at your fingertips” reduce the need for reasoning

Jarrod Jacobs: “Our Astonishing God”

One of the most amazing statements in the Bible is found in the book of Isaiah. “Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

The science of economics can be pretty complicated at times.  What looks like a cut and dry business transaction most often has a much greater impact.  The economic impact of keeping money local can significantly change a community.  The American Independent Business Alliance shows that for every dollar spent at a local independent business 48% is locally recirculated and for every dollar spent at a local “chain” store 14% of that money is locally recirculated (http://www.amiba.net/resources/multiplier-effect/).  This multiplie

Andy Sullivan: Against the Grain

David Bowie passed away Sunday, two days after his 69th birthday, after an 18-month battle with cancer.  I heard the news on WLBQ Monday morning and was shocked.  When a legendary artist dies, you immediately think of your favorite song(s) by that artist.  “Fame”, “Changes”, “Modern Love” “Let’s Dance” and “Under Pressure” are mine.

Dear Editor,
The decisions we make in life ALWAYS have consequences.
On January 26th the voters of Butler County will make a decision.  A decision about something that I hold dear to my heart.  A decision about something that I have witnessed destroy so many lives.  I have dedicated my life for the past 10 years to restoring the lives of those people of whom have experienced so much heartache and negative impacts as a result of drug and alcohol addiction.
