It's Hunting Season, Beware Deer!
Today while touring the town, or should I say I felt like I was "stalking" the town, to see if there might be something newsworthy to write about (hey, that's how it works) I found nothing.
Everyone was safe and sound.
No one being cuffed and stuffed.
Sirens were silent.
Ambulances weren't rushing to or from and accident scene. To the Editor: Why JFK assassination questions persist
To the Editor:
A comment about the day I will not forget Nov 22, 1963.
I was new to Active Duty Air Force a 2nd Lieutenant at Undergraduate Pilot Training at Webb AFB, Big Spring, Texas. That was not the last assassination For Bobby Kennedy and Then Dr. Martin Luther King were killed one by pistol and the latter by rifle some months later.
Why 55 years later, most Americans doubt government's JFK assassination report
Twenty-five years ago, on the 30th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, I interviewed several former teachers and others about what they remember about that day; where they were when they heard the news. Five years ago, on the 50th anniversary, I shared my minority view: I believed what the Warren Commission members said, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing JFK, firing all the shots on Nov.
To the Editor: The midterm will be vote for 'jobs or mobs'
To the Editor:
The Midterm:
Very likely whatever I write will not change anyone’s mind, perhaps I only do this to express my feelings on what has happened to our economy, social issues, foreign policy, and illegal immigration over the last 10 years.
First off I think it appropriate for readers to listen to an inaugural address of a past President who served only a short time until his assassination – namely John F.
History, and why it takes so long to write it...
How easy should it be to find out some information about the Governor Buren Sherman, the only Iowa Governor who called Vinton his hometown before becoming a statewide office-holder and moving to Des Moines, and then compile that information into a story about the upcoming Vinton 150th celebration?
Pretty easy, it should seem. Writing such a story should not take long at all.
Letter to the Editor: Support for Paula Dennison
Dear Editor,
I contacted you because As a former teacher, I know the importance of doing homework. It's not just a student skill; it's a life skill. On October 26th, the Center Point Urbana School Board held a Legislative Roundtable and invited all candidates in the area to attend.
One candidate for Iowa House District 95 (Christian Andrews) and all the candidates for Iowa House District 75 attended.
Girls 7, Boys 1
It finally happened.
It's been a long time in coming.
For years we heard, "Well, not this time..." There were funny Facebook posts that led us to believe for a second that we MIGHT have this happen, only to have a twist at the end that said, " but not this time!"
Each time, I didn't really care, because I was still thrilled. Thank you From the Family of Charlotta Toth-Fisher
The family of Charlotta Toth-Fisher would like to thank all the friends and family members who have been so supportive during the time of her illness and passing. We appreciate all the wonderful memories and feelings that you have shared. Thank you for all the cards, flowers and memorial gifts. A nursing scholarship will be funded from these.
The family would also like to thank the Ghosh Center and Mercy Hospice for their excellent care.
JUST LIGHT MY FOOD ON FIRE AND CALL IT DONE
I grew up at a time, when kids in other countries were starving.
This was always the reason why I was never allowed to waste food.
At least that was the story, and my dad was sticking to it!
He was also a firm believer in “waste not, want not”.
It wasn’t until after we had been married a while and we had gone out on a date that I said to Dean, “This tastes awful!” He looked at me and said, “You don’t have to eat it.
What Is A Fiber Optic Communications System, and How does it work?
Fiber cables are all over Vinton.
Any one of those lines can connect us with the outside world. There are lots of possible configurations, but here is the one that might be the best for Vinton.
If we connect to two lines in town, coming from different providers, we would have redundant communications service. If one line gets cut, the system automatically switches to the other and we don’t even know it.
