It took me 24 years to break my first bone, and somehow the biggest miracle to come out of the ordeal was that the Spider-Man suit survived almost entirely unscathed. After the opening weekend of the new Spider-Man movie, a group of my friends and I decided watching it wasn't enough. Naturally, six fully grown adults dressed head-to-toe in Spider-Man costumes and ran around Washington, D.C. Looking back, there were several warning signs this adventure wasn't going to end...
Testing new recipes is something I enjoy doing. Some recipes make it into my collection and others just for a season.

Toll House Caramel Bars 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (divided) 2 cups oatmeal, old fashioned or quick cooking 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup butter, melted...

ODESSA — Reiman Park will host National Night Out at 5 p.m , Saturday, Aug. 12.

Well, it seems the nation's capital has decided to calm down a little. The fireworks have faded, the tourists are slightly less determined to walk directly into traffic, and summer has settled into what I can only describe as "organized chaos." Around here, that's practically peaceful. Of course, with summer comes the weather, and Washington, D.C., has once again reminded me that air is apparently optional. Every morning feels like walking into someone's bathroom five minutes...
1 years ago Ernest Hume who has been superintendent of the Lincoln County poor farm resigned last week and the commissioners named N. M. Lacey of Davenport at his replacement. Eight Davenport youths were taken into custody after a raid on a residence where officers discovered a real old time prize fight happening.

Local farmers reported that the heat did make threshing easier. 1926 Dodge Coupe $1021.00 at...

If the recent influx of Spider-People roaming the streets of Washington, D.C. is any indication, I’d say the new Spider-Man movie is going to be a pretty big deal. Just the other day, I counted three different Spider-Men casually wandering around downtown. No one seemed particularly alarmed. Around here, that’s apparently just a Tuesday. Now, for my readers back home who may not know what “cosplay” is, let me explain. Cosplay is when folks dress up as their favorite fiction...

Rhubarb continues to flourish into July this year, due to the cool, rainy weather. Pies, cobblers, crisps and even cookies are some of the treats made with rhubarb. Recently I came across a recipe for canned or freezer preserved rhubarb pie filling. The basic recipe is quite plain, but adapts easily to your favorite spices and flavorings. The recipe makes enough filling for two, 10 inch pies. I prefer freezing over canning when possible as it means less time in the kitchen,...
