I have said this before in a column, but I think it bears repeating. Mother Nature is bipolar.

New earth was uncovered beginning last week on the planned Wilson County Veterans Park, and it’s certainly a welcome sight to see.

With the Olympics winding down this week, I’m sure the throngs and throngs of you who read this column believe the title to be related to this year’s winter affair in Sochi.
