It’s been a while since I’ve really sat and thought about my Dad. More than 34 Father’s Days have passed since I last saw him.

I am always amazed by the caliber of young people we have here in our South County and the fact that they choose to become involved.

I haven’t been able to figure out why the citizens of the South County continue to moan about having nothing to do on the weekends. Just take a look at our weekly events calendar and you can see there are ...

I ask myself that question every time I see a recall, a newly discovered danger in food or a warning about a hobby or pleasurable pastime. My personal favorite declaration would be to see a newly discovered factoid from scientists, ...

It’s time to talk about gas. Not the intestinal kind, the stuff that makes our world go ’round. It was interesting that just in the past week the first methane powered rocket engine was test-fired in southern California

If last Friday was any measure, it appears that this year’s Anderson Explodes! celebration is well on its way to success.

The past weeks have been a sad time in the days of our community, the U.S. community and the world as well. First we had the tragic fire in Happy Valley. It took an entire family from this earth and ...

Every year about this time I go through a terrible period of deep angst. I shouldn’t allow this stress to build up and I certainly shouldn’t allow myself to become so beleaguered that I actually freeze. I mean I just ...

Interesting events have transpired in the past week. According to many, the most important decision for Shasta County’s future has been made.

I shouldn’t be surprised, after all I’ve lived in Anderson now for over 26 years, but I still get all choked up when I see good folks honored by their peers.

In case you haven’t heard, Daylight Saving Time (DST) will be here this weekend. This year, because of a bill signed by President George W. Bush, it starts two weeks early and ends one week later. All in all, a ...

I have to give the City of Anderson management team a lot of credit. They don’t stick their collective heads in the sand when it comes to planning. They actually stand up and ask for people’s opinions, the very same ...

It’s been a few weeks since two somewhat similar stories were publicized, but they still bother me. They are just another example of government sticking their nose in where it really doesn’t belong.

Cottonwood is booming along with the rest of the county. But, as a small community should, they have been guiding much of their own growth with a very “hands-on” approach. The Cottonwood school district and the community aggressively sought funds ...

Turning lemons into lemonade is exactly what happened with the Salvation Army’s annual Christmas charity drive this year.

At this time of year, everyone is coming out with their “lists.” They talk about the top stories, the top TV shows, the top diets or the top choices for desserts in 2007.

This time of year, I love to drive around and look at all of the Christmas light displays. I really don’t know what it is, but they just make me happy.
