By Terren Smith Hi everyone. The roving reporter and her friend Carlene are in Florida getting some sun. It was 86 today, Monday.
By Esther Butcher I think the storm is on its way, schools getting out early and you can feel it in the air. We will have our ice for sometime yet.
By Richard & Joyce Pratt Winter is still hanging on with the wind still blowing. It is blowing loose snow off the roof and the bank which is making nice new snow drifts covering up the dirty snow where it was plowed off from the sidewalk. At the same time it is uncovering the shiny crusted snow.
To the Canton Community:
I am sure you are now fully aware of the business decision to close the Arnot Medical Group office in Canton. Now we all can throw up our hands and say that in this day and age this is the way of business. They will consolidate, make a profit, and move on with the wink and nod that the issue is “the bottom line.” However, what truly will be lost --- much more than a questionable explanation of a bottom line. By Canton Fitness Center Are You Putting Toxins on Your Body?
There are more people than ever who are plagued by allergies, cancer and other diseases of toxic stress. When you read the labels of almost every product you might see a host of added ingredients that you probably can’t pronounce. Some of the worst culprits are beauty and cleaning products. With the skin being the body’s largest organ and an easy pathway to the cells, having toxic ingredients in these products can easily put the body in a state of toxic overload. By Jim Lewis In politics there is an acronym for some republicans and democrats that seem to lean and vote towards the opposite side of their parties ideologies. It is RINO, (Republican in name only) and DINO, (Democrat in name only). That is, they might claim and campaign as a representative of a certain party, but their actions don’t align with the party platform. This can be quite frustrating to their voters and constituents. You know what they say, “The proof is in the pudding.” Saying something is one thing, doing it is another.
A large group of Isis fighters in Iraq are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand dune:
"One U.S. Marine is better than ten Isis fighters!" Furious, the Isis commander quickly sets up a defensive position, and orders 10 of his best men over the dune where a gun battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes ...and then there is silence. By Evangelist Eric Smith “This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: 5 Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’ 6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. 10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, ‘Who is this?’ 11 The crowds answered, ‘This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee."
By Rev. Kenneth Marple, M.A. Prescription: Rx Friendship
When asked "What is a friend"? Aristotle replied, "A single soul dwelling in two bodies." I expect what we like most about friends is the fact that they are comfortable. While love is blind, friendship deliberately closes its eyes to the mess in our living rooms, or anywhere, for that matter. Ahoy! Welcome aboard Noah's Ark.
Every pastime/profession has a "language" particular to it, and any participant should acquire a level of fluency in said "language." ![]() by Steve Sliwinski Perhaps you saw on the Evening News the destruction of Artifacts at the Mosul Museum in Iraq. I may be closer and more passionate about this than most readers due to being an artist and a former high school art teacher, but I would like to explain why it is important for us as a people. We are the inheritors of the Western civilization. Part of that inheritance is our system of democratic government, judicial process, freedom of expression, privacy rights, and the freedom to choose a religion without threat of persecution. These examples and other freedoms are guaranteed us in the Bill of Rights. By Bill Bower By Fr. Michael McCormick Dear Readers,
In this season of Lent, we, as covenant people, stop and take a good hard look at our identity, at the way our relationship with God is lived out in our lives. The promise given Abraham was, when you think about it, at least far-fetched and on some level downright ludicrous. But then, most of God’s promises are. God told Abraham that he was to be ”the father of a host of nations” (Gen. 17:5). Even though they were old, presumably Sarah was post-menopausal, they were to have a child. What was their reaction? Wildlife Observations & Memories – Part V
The year was around 1981; not long after I moved to Canton from Williamsport in the autumn of 1979. In those days, small game season closed around the end of the post Christmas flintlock muzzleloader and extended deer archery seasons. |
