With a little under a month to go, voters in the Oxford school district are still weighing whether or not to support a proposed a 7-mill bond extension. Oxford Township resident Ron Davis (who is also the township’s parks & recreation director), knows how he is voting: Yes. And, if any voter is still uncertain, […]
We’ve all heard it, read it and heck, probably said it. What is ‘it?? ‘It? is the state of the economy. In a word, ‘it? sucks. For the past year I have heard from folks in our office, from our readers and from our business partners that times are hard. I’ll admit, it is hard […]

And, did you know it was there she first learned of a smart, but gullible country boy, turned […]
As the news has come in, only 23 percent of voters bothered to vote in the Oxford schools’ bond election. The districts attempt to extend a 7 mill bond for 10 years, fell in a ball of fire. Now is the time to get back in the saddle. It is time for the powers that […]
In the past I have discussed the logistics of feet sweating something like 91 quarts of sweat a year. I have delved into the mysterious differences between men and women.
