I’ve heard it several times from people who claim belief in God and faith in Christ: “It’s all about me and Jesus.” In a manner of speaking, confessing that “it’s all about me and Jesus” is true. Jesus came to earth, shed his blood on the cross, and died for you. He died so that you might have life. So, in a sense, it is all about you and Jesus, because Jesus is, was, and always will be for you. But, there are at least two problems with confessing that “it’s all about me and...

The former Harrington Haus is finally drying out with the new owner, John Dempsey, working long, hard hours and continuously ventilating the structure. Several on-lookers contemplated the removal of the old pool table which Dempsey was not interested in trying to preserve. At one point, Gene Dietrich had stipulated that he wanted to remove the pool table prior to the signing of the papers, but in the final analysis, Dietrich was not willing to remove it. Leaks in the roof for years had damaged the table, making it necessary...
Asked by Danielle of Latrobe, Tasmania. Dear Danielle, Movies not only took the ideas and inventions of people, but also the work of a horse. Her name was Sallie Gardner and the debate of her day was whether or not horses ever had all four hooves off the ground during a gallop. The human eye moved too slowly to see what was going on with horses’ hooves, so in 1872, the governor of California hired photographer Eadweard Muybridge to find out. Muybridge set up big cameras around a track to capture Sallie Gardner in motion. H...

Please be aware that citizens in several Washington Counties as well as around the country have lost large sums of money. Here is how it usually...
To the Editor: In 1833, Joseph Story made this observation about the United States Post Office: “The post-office establishment has already become one of the most beneficent and useful establishments under the national government.” In 2015, the post office remains a major benefit to the American people and businesses. And this is despite the Republican effort since 2006 to undermine the U.S. Constitution in the attempt to privatize the post office. In 2006, the Republicans in Congress manufactured a crisis by claiming tha...
