Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2008
We would like to elaborate on the level of commitment that is provided to our community by our firefighters and emergency medical providers. Full story »
A completely new paradigm
Friday, Nov. 7, 2008
Something improbable yet uniquely American has just happened. A young man has emerged on the political scene with limited experience, but with a steely mind, optimistic message (hope over fear) and with equanimity and an assuring and eloquent oratory – and won the American presidency by a landslide! And this man is multi-racial! Full story »
Your Health: I absolutely demand it
Friday, Nov. 7, 2008
By the time you read this column, there will hopefully be a new President. I say hopefully because there is always the possibility that we will be watching some nearsighted yahoo peer intently through glasses that look like a pair of Bufferin bottles (remember Bufferin?) while trying to figure out the “intent” of a half-torn piece of paper.

Shall it be Musgrave or Markey?
Friday, Oct. 31, 2008
“There are no new ideas and it doesn’t matter who gets the credit…… all we need are people (in congress) who fulfill their constitutionally defined job description and are thoughtful and civil and who want to solve the problems American’s face”. Full story »
Your Health - Eradication
Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2008
I don’t think I’m violating any Chamber of Commerce rules when I say that during certain times of the year, there are a few flies buzzing the High Plains. Their numbers are not of Biblical proportions, but there are enough flies such that you folks refer to them as “bothersome.” Full story »
Faith - Forgiveness
Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2008
I heard about this story of an 80 year old woman who was arrested for shop lifting. When she went before the judge in Cincinnati he asked her, “What did you steal?” She replied, “A can of peaches.” Full story »
Faith: Christians need a shift
Thursday, Oct. 16, 2008
Pastors all over the United States and Great Britain have watched their congregations decline. The culprit, according to many discussions, is the current phase of post-modernist thought being felt throughout the developed countries. Church Network Leader Thomas Bandy is one of few realizing that we no longer live in a “Christian” nation. Full story »
Living abroad during an election
Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2008
This is my eighth year in Singapore, and I am amazed by how knowledgeable and opinionated everyone I meet is. It astonishes me that as soon as someone sees my “pale skin” and hears my accent, I am asked if I am American. Full story »
Faith: "I’m John Morrison and I approved this message"
Thursday, Sept. 25, 2008
“I’m John Morrison and I approved this message” I always wanted to say that. It seems that when you hear that statement what follows is usually not the truth. What you do hear are words that are intended to hurt the other candidate. Full story »
Your Health: Clash of the Titans
Thursday, Sept. 25, 2008
I look upon the Presidential campaigns as a “Clash of the Titans” experience. Before we go any further, if you think that means I regard the campaign as a clash between two political titans, you’re wrong. Full story »
Looking Out for the Community: Buyer Beware!
Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2008
The latest crime reports data show that nearly 25 million Americans are victims of consumer fraud each year. Full story »
Faith: Pray, Learn, and Vote
Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008
I have to confess—I am patriotic. Dewey eyes appear every time I say the Pledge of Allegiance or hear the Star Spangled Banner. I thank God that He has allowed me to live in America. Full story »
Your Health: “What we have here is a failure to communicate..."
Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008
I feel a kinship when I watch a crime show and the scene shifts to an interrogation room. What the cops do in an interrogation room is identical to what a good doctor does when he or she takes a history. Full story »
Your Health: Tuthawupppppp
Thursday, Sept. 11, 2008
I have discovered another characteristic of you folks who occupy Colorado’s high plains. You have no fear of tuthawupppppp. You don’t run from it. You don’t even roll your eyes and emit a long condescending sigh when encountering it. In fact, you embrace it.
In case you don’t know, tuthawupppppp is the sound made by a plastic sleeve of grandchildren’s photographs as it is released from a wallet and unfolds downward. Full story »

Looking Out For the Community: Paying attention to our driving
Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2008
In the world we live in today, we seem to be busier and more rushed than ever before. We live in the information age. We have cell phones, PDA’s, Blackberry’s, GPS systems in our car’s, computers, satellite phones that are hand held or come with our cars. Full story »
