Some people are only limiting themselves to a narrow path to find in life, such as: peruse, confuse, amuse, abuse, misuse, reuse, accuse and excuse. There are other that rhyme — infuse, defuse and refuse, but I just couldn’t figure out where to put them in place with the existing lineup. Ronald Piotter

I would like to commend a young lady for all the volunteer work she does at the animal shelter. She’s been there for almost five years. Being disabled doesn’t stop her from helping in all the areas of the shelter. She has a gift with all animals, not being afraid of them, either. The animals[...]

The family of Elmer R. Johnson would like to give thanks for all of the prayers, thoughts and condolences after the loss of their loved one.

I was almost killed today because of the intersection at Mesquite and Highway 160. I was traveling northbound on Highway 160, going the speed limit.

I have a message for you: You are your brother’s keeper.” Here is an analysis of the true meaning of one of the planks in Ron Paul’s political platform, which is that we Americans are not the world’s policemen. Up until Obama’s unenlightened meddling in the Middle East, Iran[...]

What liberals like you, Matt H.T.Ward, forget is there are a lot of the “silent majority, Reagan democrats,” and tea party believers still around — and are not, like liberals wish — going away.

I want to acknowledge those who put together the fundraiser that was held on Jan. 17 to raise money for my much needed anti-rejection medication that I will need after my kidney transplant. Thank you to all the people who came to the dinner at the Maverick and bought 50/50 tickets (the tickets for the[...]
