The Kiwanis skate park opened to rave reviews earlier this fall—from both local skateboarders and a few of their counterparts from out-of-town who happened to be here at the time. And it seemed to be a popular enough spot for the few weeks it was up and running before the […]
Dear Mike: I am thankful many of our local merchants have kept Christ in Christmas. I’m on a “Merry Christmas” mission and I’m in full throttle. Don’t I fear the Christmas Gestapo and those who would have me remove the written message from my car? I’m sorry, folks, but the […]
Dear editor: I don’t own a handgun and have no desire to own one. My hunting firearms are registered in accordance with the laws of Canada (a billion-dollar boondoggle that makes the sponsorship scandal piddling by comparison).

The correct term for a teacher who replaces an absent permanent teacher is occasional teacher. Occasional teachers must have the same […]
Dear sir: You can go back to the 1940s when the winner of the round-robin of the provincial curling showdown would represent their province at the national level. Then it was decided to bring playoffs into the format, with the top four teams playing off for the crown. The number-one […]
Dear editor: I saw a couple of articles in the paper that irked me very much. First, Paul Martin’s proposed ban on hand guns will make it very hard on trappers. They will now have to carry rifles—and get them full of snow and dirt. Furthermore, the humane disposal of […]
