On the Bulldogs' first possession, senior quarterback Turner Tooke turned a broken play into a long touchdown run. After that play, the game was never in doubt. In the second half, every Bulldog player got into the game. CCHS...

There is an ongoing battle regarding the $3.5 trillion reconciliation plan proposed by the Biden Administration, which includes a provision that would require financial institutions, such as our credit unions, to report to the IRS transactional data for any account with at least $600 of inflows or outflows annually. This unlimited access to consumers’ financial data should raise alarms for anyone with a bank or credit union account. First and foremost, this plan violates consumers’ privacy by requiring information that does n...

One of the unsung heroes of the horse world is the horse packer. He has to understand horse anatomy and mule psychology, spend long days in the saddle, have nerves of steel, a strong back, and it helps if he ends up in one piece at the other end of the trail. Jerry Yoder was the packer for the K Lazy 3 when it was owned by Brett and Julie Todd, and I was always really nice to Jerry (just ask him), because he was responsible for the eggs and other valuables that I needed to cook with. He also looked the other way when...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, it’s been a long time ago, but just thinking about it as we watch the falling leaves, brought back some special memories when we were on a trip visiting kin, out of state. Several of us decided to go walking through the woods near their home. We were constantly amazed at the amount of life that filled the forest. At that time of year, we watched birds busily tending to their nest. Branches and vines were woven in intricate patterns. Deer and other wildlife lounged in the cool saf...
