For as long as we could, we have held our rates at only $.50 per paper. If you subscribe weekly, that newspaper then becomes $.39! By the time it is mailed to you, it drops down into the teens. Once you consider the time and work it takes to gather the news, pay employees to research and write, so on and so forth, we are in the negative. While the special sections, and print work keep us in business, the local, weekly news is really why we’re here. Sure, there’s youtube and facebook, tiktok and...

Before dinosaurs roamed the earth, large plants grew and died in swampy forests. In the eons that followed, layers of rock and dirt covered the plants, and heat and pressure turned them into a substance high in carbon and hydrocarbons: coal. The history of coal mining is a dark tale of child labor, black lung disease and an untold number of miners blown up in mining accidents. Research started in 1980 found that acid rain was caused by burning coal, and thus coal's negative impact on ecosystems...

They say music is a science, yes! Pythagoras is considered to have created the theory of music by combining intervals and mathematical calculations to create notes for the major scale.

Sheehan. “I’m proud of the work done to secure this funding and look forward to providing local governm...
