2011 - SENIOR SCRIBES ANNUAL SPRING FLING |
A Trip in Back in Time for Young and Old
By Christy Riley, Teen Scribe
It goes to show that age knows no boundaries when conversing with new
friends and old. More than 100 people threw out the age barriers and

Fling. Young adults took a trip back into time with their senior
counterparts, enjoyed 50s and 60s music, dinner, dancing and an evening

Christian Center and included adults of all ages. Some came wearing 50s
style garb, including several in “poodle” skirts. Some took... Read More. See More Community.

STEGALL'S
RESPONSE TO "THAT'S MY OPINION"
|
Response to Robinson’s opinion on the
Conveyance Fee
Dear Bob - I thought your article on the conveyance fee was very well
done. You make some very good points, especially since this is a
tax. Calling it a fee makes it easier on us, but it is what it
is. When we were campaigning I said I was not for new taxes, and I
meant it. I also knew that some taxes were necessary. Your
statement in the article that you would do everything in your power to
support economic development... Read More. See More Opinion.

"THE
TORNADO YEAR"

Human
Events...
Struggling to
understand an awful tragedy
by John Hayward
CNN has an oddly phrased sub-head for today’s story about the unusual
number of killer tornadoes we’ve seen this year: The tornado that
killed 117 people in Missouri this week puts the U.S. on track for a
record-breaking year, despite improved forecasting and warning systems.

Townhall...
The
Miseducation of America
By Armstrong Williams
Back in the ‘good ole days’ (which usually tend to have occurred
exactly one hundred years before the phrase is uttered), doing business
in America was simple. Entrepreneurs completed deals using only back of
the envelope calculations and a firm handshake. They didn’t need any of
those Wall Street wizards with their fancy forecasting and analysis
