Huber still enjoys directing BCB (07/20/08)
Who would've thought that in the fifth-grade, when a little boy was given a trombone, it would one day lead to a man that so many people respect and admire.

Reporter tackles origins of rock and roll (07/20/08)
Lately, I've been wondering if I was born in the wrong time period. Although I like all types of music, I believe the origins of rock and roll lie in the late 1930s-1950s, with a nod to the rhythm and blues, jazz, country, gospel and boogie-woogie music of the 1920s and the 1930s. But, it really goes back further...
Keep a better eye on those family pets (07/20/08)
To the Editor: Recently, coming home for lunch to let our dogs out, I passed a dog that had been recenlty hit in the east bound lane of West Hendrix Street. It was in the middle of the lane and everyone was just going around it. I turned around and moved the poor thing off the road and onto the grass, as I figured soon someone would probably hit it again just for the fun ot if...
The professionalism is appreciated (07/20/08)

School security and bond issues (07/20/08)
To the Editor: Decision time is here. Will property taxes go up or down? Will you sign "yes" or "no" to the school bond issue? I learned a lot while I was running for school board, and one thing became crystal clear -- the proposed school security systems have nothing to do with the bond issue...

Area reader responds to previous letter in newspaper (07/20/08)
To the Editor: Recently, there was a letter in The Times from an individual called, "Reader delves into economics of city." Maybe he's right. Maybe industry doesn't want to come here. After all, the Canadian brick factory went out on State Road 59 near the small community of Ashboro...

Why is that house still there? (07/20/08)
To the Editor: I was visiting my sister during the Fourth of July week. Brazil is our hometown, but we moved to Florida eight years ago. But I don't understand the policy of letting the house across the street sit for years with the wallpaper showing where they have torn off a room. My sister was told that if the windows were broken out, that would make a difference. That can be handled!...

Getting registration online easy (07/20/08)
