Nine months of training in the books, time to put up or shut up

Steve Gamel

My ribs were bruised; I had bloody gashes in my left knee and my ankles … oh my sore ankles. But I found myself there again, stretching out soreness on a park bench ready for another run. This wasn’t just any workout. I’d be running hills, some rough terrain and through some wooded areas. I’d [...]

Thank you for Reading

Things, people and places change which impact industry and new trends are set. I’ve worked with newspapers since 1993, before computers were used to build pages. Copy was set with an exacto knife and paste around full page ads costing single advertisers as much as a new car for one press-run  Businesses reaped a great return [...]

Iron Man 3 – Movie Review

Matt Mungle

My first thought when I received the notice for the IRON MAN 3 screening was, “do we need another Iron Man movie?”. The first film was superb, the second one mediocre at best, plus we had a good dose of the suited, brilliant, billionaire, playboy Tony Stark in the Avengers film. My concern was not [...]

EVIL DEAD

Believe it or not but there is a large number of movie fans that salivate (literally) over this genre and any mention of the original Evil Dead. So it only makes sense that the new film, produced by the original film makers, would be all the buzz. Granted these types of movies are never for [...]

“Everyone is a success in the making,” says Sean Thompson of Trisquared Triathlon Training at Strada Fitness.

Secularism

Randy Haberman

Secularism is the most misunderstood of all of the “ism” words. It has been equated with liberalism, humanism, rationalism, totalitarianism, socialism and even communism. Lately some religious groups have associated Secularism with Atheism. You hear the religious right politicians and even some church leaders expressing concern about the rising tide of Secularism and Atheism in [...]

The Twitterverse has spoken, and I am hooked

Steve Gamel

While I was out driving with the family, my wife made a remark about how often my phone beeps. “Geez, you’d think you were a doctor or something with all the notifications you get!” she said. “It’s just Twitter,” I said, to which she replied, “Well does it ever shut off?” It was just over [...]

Spring in Highland Village

Pat Davis

I know we have had a mild winter, however I love seeing the signs of spring; the trees and flowers blooming, the warmer weather, families enjoying the added hours of daylight to spend time together outside walking our trails or visiting our parks. I’d like to say spring is my favorite time in Highland Village, [...]
