ARTS BEAT: DRAG AWAY YOUR BLUES. BY RYAN FERREBEE
To me, the best artists are ones who can provide an escape for their viewers. Whether the escape lasts brief seconds or hours, it’s a feeling that can’t quite be replicated. Complete enthrallment. Absolute disregard for the doldrums of the day. A living, breathing, absolute moment of peace and clarity. When you think of these […]

Romantics rejoice and haters unite! Whether you’re a fan or not, Valentine’s Day has become the insignia for the month of February, overshadowing Groundhog’s Day (Sorry, Punxsutawney Phil, maybe next year!) and usurping the limelight from the month’s other holidays. It is a time of romantic romps for some and wishful thinking for others. And […]

HALFBAKED N BOTHERED: FUZZY FEELING METER. BY MARGARET BAKER
Binoculars in hand I’ve done some shopper watching over the years and have identified a few species you may recognize. Though they vary in plumage and cash flow, Christmas consumers all pursue the same prey, the fuzzy feeling that comes with giving a gift. Too freaked by flu germs, glitter inhalation and musical loops of […]
MERRY HUMBUG BY JIM SHOCK
After witnessing a holiday meltdown of meanness at Kmart when a register crashed, then fighting maddening traffic and crowds in a quest to find the perfect present to not destroy a little boy’s Christmas, and having repeated requests for suggestions go unanswered, I made my way to the ultimate holiday hell-spot, Wal-Mart. That’s where I […]

SARCASTICALLY SINCERE: CHRISTMAS MUSIC. BY MATTHAN JACKSON
The holiday season is here and with it comes the annual inundation of Christmas music. It’s a great time of the year, but scattered amongst our holiday favorites are those irritating songs which don’t inspire a lot of goodwill (Unless you work in retail, and then you dislike them all after a few shifts). Here […]
A WOMAN, A STORY, & A LIFE IN BETWEEN: ONE FOR YOU. BY TIFFANY BLAIR
I have such a difficult time shopping for gifts to give during the holidays. Like a lot of people, I struggle with the task of finding just the right gift for each of the folks I’m shopping for. As I get older, I find that I’m constantly trying to pick something out “for the person […]
ARTFUL DRINKER: ACQUIRED TASTE
The idea of acquired taste is pretty interesting. Those who are inclined to imbibe, often test the waters on their way to informed drinking by having something early on that almost always doesn’t suit them. Last year, as my mom was sick and I was visiting home a lot and got to hang out often […]
FUTURE DOC: SECRET IS REVEALED. BY DR. TIM PENCE
It’s that time again, another year winding down and a brand new year awaits us. This is a time we do a little reviewing and thoughts of changing areas in our lives where we feel inadequate or a need for improvement. At the top of the list for many are health and fitness conditions, such […]
WISDOM FROM THE WOODS: SOMEONE WONDERFUL. BY JIM SHOCK
It really is a wonderful life. How wonderful depends on your character. Are you Clarence? Do you aspire to earn your wings helping others soar? Perhaps, you’re George Bailey. A downtrodden optimist with a bruised butt from boot kicks. Possibly, you’re Mr. Potter, paralyzed by personal pain incapable of caring. Clarence left the cushy comforts […]
