I arrived at the immaculate farm of Ed and Doris Jasman on a gorgeous spring day. They have lived there for 58 years, and Ed still farms a section of ground there. After they married, they basically had no furniture for the first six months. The exception was Ed's TV, a possession that ranks high in importance, he told me. After that, they relied on gifts or hand- me-downs to furnish their home when they were first starting out. Fast forward to present day, their home today...

Phase I of the project consists of repairs to the front steps, which have deteriorated to the point of being a safety hazard. The Old Town Hall Rejuvenation Society (OTHRS) has received permission from the Odessa Town...

Our class motto is "due tomorrow, do tomorrow," just...
Good morning, and welcome to the graduation ceremony of the class of 2014. It is incredible to think that today, 12 long years have passed, and we have finally reached the day we dreamed about as children. Today is a day of mixed emotions that can only be explained one way: the end of a favorite book, movie, or television series. That may sound silly, but a majority of us have been there, turning the last page of a book, feeling the pit in your stomach grow. For me, the worst...
