Letter: Gas prices: Why so high?
On Jan. 5, 2011, I went to a local station and a 10 cent increase! Where do they justify this? When the price per barrel goes down, we are lucky to see a penny decrease a week but they all sure do spike the price when the oil goes up.[Read More…]
Up and down el Rio Blanco: Building a winning team

Let’s add civility, civic skills to our goals this year?
