Breakfast, according to all the health and nutrition experts, is the most important meal of the day. But not just any breakfast; you need fresh fruits, whole grains, skim milk or yogurt and honey in order to charge out of the starting gate each morning ready to face the new day with a smile and…
I can understand why the post office may be cutting off Saturday mail delivery: it’s losing nine billion dollars a year. No real secret why; if people want to communicate these days they do it electronically rather than spend 50 cents to send a letter by snail mail.

Wow! Senator Tim Johnson has managed to pull a few strings and direct 200 thousand dollars from a “Save America’s Treasures” grant program towards the on-going restoration of the 84 year old State Theater. It’s a long way from the overall 5.2 million dollar estimated cost..but still. The first movie I remember going to at…
