REARDAN - The runway was short, the smiles were big and the outfits sparkled as Reardan Elementary students proved that 100 days of school is worth celebrating in style. Students from Heidi Nelson's first-grade class didn't hesitate when asked about the school's sixth annual 100th Day Fashion Show. The answer came back loud and unanimous: yes, they had fun. "I made a shirt with 100 gems," said Royce Rodriguez, 7, quickly clarifying that the gems were not real "so nobody gets...

At lunchtime, over 50 students from the high school flooded the...

This weekend, where do I even begin? Probably with the burst waterline that turned my bathroom into a splash pad and sent me out of my Davenport office early on Friday. Nothing like mopping your own floor before heading to a crab feed. Once the water chaos was temporarily handled, I pointed my car toward Odessa, assuming a calm evening at the annual Lions Club crab feed. I was wrong. Cars lined the streets, and inside the community hall I barely made it through the door...

Cooking from scratch can be a great way to stretch food dollars, and fresh ingredients, without preservatives are good for our health, but, prepared ingredients can be fun and a easy way to prepare tasty treats. Recently, I called upon a group of high school students to assist me in test driving a recipe for Creamy Pickle Roll Ups. This easy to prepare recipe calls for refrigerator crescent roll dough and ranch dressing mix. The recipe passed their taste test and it was decide...

Almost twice in one month. Yes, I know. It sounds excessive. But when Uncle Sam fires up the National Guard Bat-Signal in the sky, you answer the call or you get accused of going AWOL, handed discharge paperwork, and introduced to a lovely assortment of “corrective training.” Translation: pushups. Because in the Army, you either get smart or you get strong. So there I was again this weekend, alarm blaring at 4 a.m. Saturday morning, feeling like I’d been knocked flat before my boots even hit the floor. But anyone who’s...

Some would be perfect for a game day buffet, others ideal for everyday family meals or celebrations.
