Editor, We aren’t a church but members of the Baha’i Faith. We meet in our homes and our home is in the North Crow area, between Pablo and Ronan. We would like to thank those that participated in our monthly gathering centered on community building. In order to overcome the bombardment of negativity in our lives, we chose to gather in prayer and gratitude and discuss what we do to create that positive space and build unity with our fellow humans. Many were unable to attend but blessed us with their ideas and offered to hold our gathering in love, light and prayers. We thank them for this, too. We determined that gatherings like this were needed to encourage ...

The focus of my frien...
Summer reading list shared Editor, Human knowledge has exploded in the years since the invention of the printing press and the Gutenberg Bible (about 1450). Now, there are lots of “good books.” Here is a short list for summer reading, which could enhance a reader’s understandi...
Editor, I have learned one thing from Gene Johnson. One need not investigate or research for the facts of history. If you do not like what the facts say, just dismiss them and make up your own version and pass it off as fact. There is no sense discussing the past with someone with so little regard for evi...
Editor, Many thanks to all those who help make the “Boat Island” at the intersection of Highways 35 and 93 such a pretty, colorful spot in summer. It is a cheery welcome at the main entrance to our community. Delaney’s Landscaping once again planted bright pink trailing petunias ...
