Lance Scranton: Thanks, Mom

So much has been written about the role and importance of mothers that it might be easy for some of us to simply buy card and a box of chocolates this week and call it good. But every year I’m reminded of my mother, whose nurturing and protection were priceless.

Stephanie Pearce: Mother’s Day

I was such a momma’s girl when I was little.

Over a Cup of Coffee: Making meat loaf

This week I’ve been hungry for meat loaf, one of my favorite meat dishes. Our family likes it, too, especially our son, Jamie, who could live off meat loaf sandwiches. I always make sure there’s meat loaf in the refrigerator when he’s here.

Pipi's Pasture: Getting the mail

I am amused when I hear people refer to today’s mail as “snail mail.” When I was a kid growing up on the ranch, we didn’t have a telephone — not until I was about 14 — so mail was the only way we had to communicate with people who didn’t live in the community.

Frank Moe: They will listen

Last week, my wife, Kerry, and I spoke against Senate Bill 13-252 before the House Transportation and Energy Committee. SB 252 is a rural renewable energy bill that mandates 20 percent of certain rural electric associations’ power be generated by renewable energy resources by the year 2020.

Janet Sheridan: A less painful place

My siblings and I have become the older generation that used to look on fondly as we organized games and chased after children. We are the old folks who go to bed early so we can get up with the sun, while our descendants reminisce and laugh late into the night.
