Hi Y’all, The Lanark area is saddened, shocked and heartbroken at the news of two people losing their lives on Saturday evening, July 6 on Highway 98 near Arizona Street. Our prayers and thoughts go out to all the families and friends of those involved in this tragic accident. Up and coming events in Lanark:…
A recent news development has left some folks scandalized and others envious. (And still others grumbling, “I don’t need no stinking news developments! I’m too busy getting ready to vote!”) I’m speaking of the revelation that former New England Patriots coaching legend Bill Belichick (age 72) is dating 24-year-old beauty pageant contestant Jordon Hudson. (Please…
The governor of Louisiana just signed a law that will require all public classrooms in the state — from kindergarten to universities — to post the Ten Commandments “on a poster or framed document at least 11 inches by 14 inches … in easily readable font.” For the first time since Reconstruction, Louisiana has a…
Hi Y’all, Happy Fourth of July! In the hot, steamy village of Lanark there is always fun to be found. We make the best of it. Saturday was the most fun. Some of us started our day off celebrating Fred Aman’s 95th birthday. Fred, a Korean War veteran, is a longtime resident of Lanark who…
Maybe it was karma. Or divine appointment. I do not believe luck had anything to do with it. And it was not Willie putting his “mark” on me one last time. He had everlasting and forever done that in the summer of 1954 and ’55 and ’56 and ’57…. I’m sitting in Seat 8, Row…

Democrats hit former President Donald Trump by claiming that in the early days of COVID-19, Trump told Americans to inject bleach. At a weekend event with comedian Jimmy Kimmel, Biden said of his predecessor,…
Here we are. Another year, another June and the nation is celebrating another Juneteenth holiday. On June 17, 2021, President Biden signed the bill into law making Juneteenth the 11th holiday recognized by the federal government. At a White House ceremony, Biden singled out Opal Lee, an activist who at the age of 89 walked…
A rarity happens next week: a presidential debate before either party’s convention. Trump probably should not have agreed to the unusual CNN debate this early. If Biden melts down or freezes up, Dems have time to replace him before their official nomination in Chicago. I would have waited, but where there is a camera and…
Here’s a story that is growing bigger by the day: Cyber scams are on the rise. My elderly family member fell for a common scam a few weeks ago: His screen appeared to be locked by “Microsoft” and he was urged to call the number the phony security alert displayed. If you call that fake…
I am not a fan of hidden microphone ambushes. It’s sneaky and dishonest. The kind of ambush that journalist and activist Lauren Windsor pulled off at the recent Supreme Court Historical Society dinner was particularly unseemly because she posed as a conservative activist type and attempted to lead the witnesses – Supreme Court justices and…
