To The Editor, Running for a political position has been one of the most challenging and exhausting activities I've ever engaged in.

These issues and more are what drive people like me to...

They had the same thought I did when they took one look at the Burg: This place needed a coffee shop. Now they'll have it, or rather, Bond will have it. Coppei Coffee Co., Llc., has leased its premises and equipment to Bond's Llc, Bitey Parrot. The papers were signed recently and she officially took...

Not that setting aside a day to be off more than once a year would be all that practical. But the spirit of Veterans Day may certainly live on throughout the year and does for many in our valley's...

Adams, the daughter of Ann and Lanny Adams, said her big- gest influence in being on fair courts was her older cousin who was Miss Pro West in the 1990s. "She was my inspiration," Adams said. Adams, who has been riding...
