Dear Editor, Recently my granddaughter interviewed me for a history project. Later, she told me I was the only one of her class interviewees who was hopeful for our future as a country.

In fact, you might be surprised at the various ways in which the cash, and cash equivalents, in your portfolio can help you complete your financial picture. One way to...
The Sidney High football team is 2-0 in the games that senior running back Chance Anglin has been sidelined with a lower leg injury. Without their biggest playmaker in the backfield, the Red Raiders were tested to move the ball at times in both of those contests. Without an explosive 74-yard TD run up the middle or a powerful 50-yard, two-broken tackle scoring run down the sideline, the wins weren't quite as flashy, but they were victories nonetheless. But if depth is the name of the game,...
