This weekend I did what any respectable Harrington transplant does when the sun's out, the breeze is mild, and the fish haven't yet filed a restraining order against me: I grabbed my fishing gear, my wiener dog, and hit the great outdoors. Somewhere between Odessa and Harrington-coordinates redacted because a girl never gives away her secret fishing hole-I set off to finally catch the fish that have eluded me all season. But let's start at the beginning. Saturday morning...

And one from Brian Curtis - Vice President of the Davenport Road Knights - personally inviting you to ride in his 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster for the Pioneer Days Parade. That, dear readers, is what we in the industry call a hard yes. I didn't even finish reading the message before I was mentally picking out my parade-day sunglasses. With that, I handed over the Parade photography assignment to our...

Easy individual pizzas made with refrigerator biscuit dough for the crust and topped with kid favorites, pepperoni and cheese. Students learned about measuring carefully so...

From Cayuse Cove to Western Pines Road, from the destruction at Moccasin Bay to the cliffs above Seven Bays. I walked through scorched fields, down roads...
