  • Take bull by the horns, pass COOL

    Updated Jan 31, 2023

    Consumers have the right to know the origin of the beef on their tables, and ranchers have the right to a fair and competitive market. This is a reasonable expectation. However, after 2015, beef and pork were exempted from country of origin labeling laws. As a result, consumers do not know where their beef comes from, and ranchers do not have fair prices. That’s why we are bringing forward country of origin placarding legislation (HB 350), which will set the story straight. Today, the “USDA Graded” and “Product of the USA...

  • What a 'gem' I discovered

    Updated Jan 31, 2023

    After surviving an abscessed tooth, root canal, thorough a porcelain bridge, two rounds of antibiotics, bladder infection, severe sleep apnea, chest discomfort and soon the loss of my breath, I found this “Gem!” I always felt I could solve my own problems, plus help others solve their problems. One night late, I could not walk 115 feet in my own house without pure exhaustion. I told my husband that I was so weak, I was afraid. I didn’t know if I was going to die! Oh, I was old enough to die but I have lots of living to do an...

  • Balanced budget best, but debt default dumb

    Updated Jan 31, 2023

    Government spending is increasing by $2.6 million a minute. The national debt now stands at over $31 trillion. That’s primarily money that people over 40 have spent, and a debt that infants born today will be burdened with, likely for their entire lives. This, in a great nation in which each generation has continually been wealthier than the one before. That is emphatically not so, now. The future generation has been accurately described as victims of “generational theft.” Out of deep concern about this, I contacted the w...

  • The Postscript: Walking in the snow

    Carrie Classon|Updated Jan 31, 2023

    It was snowing hard, the way it almost never does anymore, and I decided I needed to go for my walk, heedless of the weather. “I probably won’t be gone long!” I texted a friend in California as I headed out the door looking like an Arctic explorer. The snow was coming down fast and sideways. Many businesses were closed, and the streetlights had eerily popped on at midday. Once outside, I wondered if this was such a good idea. It was impossible to keep the snow out of my eyes....
