- Lights out: Ravens beat 49ers 34-31 in Super Bowl
- February 3, 2013
- From blowout to blackout to shootout, Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens had just enough to survive one of the most electric Super Bowls ever. The outage flipped a switch for the San Francisco 49ers, but the Ravens used a last-gasp defensive stand to hold on Sunday night, 34-31. America’s biggest sporting event came to a half-hour standstill in the third quarter when most of the Superdome lights and the scoreboards went dark. By then, the Ravens had a 22-point lead. Everything changed after that, though, and the 49ers staged a sensational rally before Ray Lewis and Co. shut it down. But there were plenty of white-knuckle moments and the Ravens (14-6) had to make four stops inside their 7 at the end.

- Senior Spotlight for February 4, 2013
- February 3, 2013
- ebruary is coming in with a nice change the last few days here. According to Mr. Ground Hog six more weeks and spring will be here. Well, Mr. Ground Hog looked wide awake and very well fed to me. They should get a genuine dug out of its hole critter and while trying to wake it up get a good hold on it, ‘cause he isn’t going to like it. I know, it’s been a yearly thing as long as I can remember. Good way to do something and have fun while breaking up the boredom of gray days, etc. Hope they all had a good time and so did everyone else, ‘cause that’s one of our good old American traditions. Making something good out of whatever we need to, to make things better. Happy birthday to Beatrice Roe, William Ping, Marie Switzer.

- Stephanie Pearce: Learning Patience — That’s important to me
- February 3, 2013
- Learning to have patience is important to me. Growing up I had a horse named Major that my Uncle Bill bought when I was about 8 years old and I eventually bought this horse from him. I loved him from the moment I saw him. My Uncle Wayne would always warn us kids to be careful on Major because he could get out of hand at times and be a little hard headed. This horse would teach me many things growing up – including learning patience.
