Semester Tests – Round 2

Thursday, May 17th, 2012 by 

In 2011, I wrote about semester one tests at Adams Central, and it was a fairly distasteful blog post. Well, I’m going to be even more pessimistic this time. How can I loathe (that loathe with an ‘e’) something more than the first round of semester tests? That’s a good question.

Vandalism at the Park

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012 by

To the Strong Women of Hastings

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012 by

How’s Your Health?

Thursday, March 1st, 2012 by 

I’m sure we’ve all had complaints in one way or another about our local health care. From the initial call to schedule an appointment to the length of time in the waiting room to the doctor’s bedside manner, we’ve all been frustrated at some point. It comes with the territory.
