- Editorial: The right reasons
- November 24, 2010

A troubled and uncertain economy has claimed jobs, reduced incomes and caused stress for many families across the United States, not to mention Craig and Moffat County.

- Bob Grubb: Article ‘hit the spot’
- November 24, 2010
- To the editor: As a counterpoint to the letter by Emily Nagle, I found Diane West’s article hit the spot. I understand Islam to be a violent religion with Shariah Law being its oppressive extension over all of the societal areas it conquers. Islam may have started as a nonviolent faith, but once it tasted blood at Medina in Arabia, it gradually changed into a land-hungry empire, sweeping in five bloody centuries in Asia Minor to India and through North Africa into Spain.

- Horoscope for Nov. 24
- November 24, 2010
- SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Follow that old saying: “If you can’t find something nice to say about someone, say nothing at all.” Any critique you make could end up sounding abrasive and mean-spirited. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Be careful how you treat someone who has always cooperated with you in the past. If you fail to support him/her, this person won’t get your back the next time you need his/her help.
