CULTURE CANCER: Is not Marxism
Brent Regan’s “common nonsense” goes too far with his conclusions that our liberal versus radical far-right “culture war” is a “Marxist revolution.” So much of his common sense is common imagination based on altern…

This year, a hero, Ed Pommerening, responsible for heroic efforts which improved the environment of our valley, passed away. Now, another man passes who I think is equally heroic, as he improved the living standard…
