Book Notes: Novel sheds light on worlds with and without electricity
As the remnants of Hurricane Lee whipped the trees outside my bedroom window into a frenzy of whirling trunks and leaves, I pulled up the covers and opened my laptop to review Toni Buzzeo’s new middle grade novel, “Light Comes to Shadow Mountain.” Here I was, reviewing a historical novel about young Cora Mae Tipton, […]

This month is a time of new beginnings for many people. Students, teachers and administrators are back in school following the summer vacation.

Just a Little Old: Good reading — the gift that keeps on giving
My wife Tina recently wore a T-shirt that reads: “Jane Austen. A glass of wine. And chocolate. Life is good.” I’ll buy that concept. Well, sort of. I’ve never read Jane Austen (my bad), but I plan to read “Emma” soon. And I don’t drink wine or any other form of alcohol. But I’m down […]

Letter to the editor: Tuberville’s interference is a disgrace
I am outraged that through the actions of a single U.S. senator, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, our military readiness and strength are being undermined. This radical politician has arbitrarily blocked personnel advancements for reasons that could be addressed by arbitration and compromise.
