To the editor: Do we really need all that loud thunder-screaming background as we watch the lava flow from Hawaii’s volcano? It’s scary enough.

[ Read More ]To the editor: It is a scary world out there for the kids, and what is scarier still is that the adults who say they love them have created it. Parents, educators at all levels, legislatures, courts and even the liberal churches have firmly entrenched this “field of killing” by thumbing their noses at the

Our paths first crossed when he vigorously supported our efforts to stop the mega apartment complex at Bauer Road and Tesson Ferry.
