The tears rolled in right away. “That overwhelmed me and broug... Full story

To the Editor: I would like to say thank you to Evert Nasi for his letter to the editor in Wednesday’s Daily Globe. The idea about the flashing warning signal indicating the light is going to turn is great. My son lives in New Jersey and they have that same thing there. As soon as the light starts flashing, you know to slow down because the light is going to turn red. I hate going to Bessemer through that light. It is enough to give you an ulcer every time you see vehicles going through a red light, because there isn’t enough of a warning it... Full story

Reading the story this week about a border collie that was stuck in a tree for a few days brought back fond memories of my pooches. It seems Laddy, a 7-year-old, vanished from his home in Iowa. The clever pooch made a break for it when he discovered the battery in his collar was dead, so the electronic boundary his masters had designed didn’t work. The family desperately searched for the dog, found two days later 10 feet up in a tree by a neighbor, who heard Laddy barking. He took a photo of the... Full story
