Remember watching “The Andy Griffith” show? There would be certain episodes centered around days just spent sitting around on the front porch. And during these episodes, some weeks we would encounter moments where Andy was playing his guitar. Then once in a while, there was talk of ...
I can’t believe this weekend is Memorial Day. It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating Easter and the first days of spring. Although the weather forecast is pretty cool this weekend to be sure, Memorial Day for a lot of us signifies the first days of summer. In my family, we usually spend the weekend at the pool; and on Monday, we would spend time at my grandmother’s home enjoying a picnic. In our area, summer is a busy time, and it’s a season I look forward to because there is so much to do. We spend a lot of time at the pool, working in the yard and spending time ...
Our representatives in the Statehouse have a long list of priorities to consider as they put together the 2026-27 state budget — that’s undeniable.

That’s classroom instruction and work-related learning designed to inform and prepare ...

CASA, Inc. 24A884, which asks whether federal judges should continue to have the authority to issue nationwide injunctions. Strip that away, and justice becomes a patchwork where the protection of the Constitution depends on where ...
There were moments when I was putting together the above story when I was taken back to those days when I was around the age of being a fourth-grader. I guess that would be about, what … 10? I’m pretty sure all of us could go back and conjure up a few memories from our childhood during that time. You see, the children in that story are filled with a sadness for each of these dogs and cats living at the local animal shelter. And they are filled with so much love for every single one. No exclusions. Not just the cute puppy with its fabulous puppy breath. Not just the ...
