DAVENPORT – A recent local Facebook post asked the question, "Why are so many people in Davenport cutting down trees?" That's a tough question to answer. Perhaps there's a valid reason for these acts such as diseased or hazardous trees, or maybe it has something to do with the maintenance required to enjoy them. Raking leaves can get old, but should we take into account a little history before making such a final decision to remove a tree? When early pioneers came to L...

Our trust in a lot of things has gotten shaken over the last year. Misinformation, disinformation, lies and half-truths seem to be the norm anymore. When what we thought was solid belief comes into doubt, it rocks us to the core and we start doubting…everything. This applies to our faith. If I can’t trust what my eyes are seeing and my ears are hearing, how can I trust what I can’t see and hear? Does God really exist? Is His Word really true? Have I believed a lie this whole...

Old family recipes are the best. A friend recently noted that grandma's recipes are often a list of ingredients, with few or no instructions.

As various foods came in season, cooks exchanged recipes to utilize the bounty. Local asparagus season will soon be here, and Marilyn Fink, the grandma in the above conversation, shared her recipe for Pickled...
