Alley Yard Sale Successful
To The Record-Courier:
The first annual Alley Yard Sale was a great success. A good time was had by all! Mad Matilda's, Ma Bell's, and the Flower Box all participated in a full day of bargains and fun. In the end those gems that didn't go to buyers were donated to May Day and the Bargain Center. A special thanks to the folks at both organizations for taking the time on a Saturday afternoon to literally haul off all the "stuff"! For those who missed the sale, you'll find great deals now at both places!
Ann Bryan, May Heriza, and Paula Dobbel would like to thank all those who made the sale a great experience. They'll be looking to expand the sale next spring to include more blocks and more businesses; that is on the suggestion of those patrons who thought the Alley Yard Sale was one grand way to pick up the hidden jewels that are tucked away in all those old buildings in the central business district.

Problems Facing America
To The Record-Courier:
This election is getting curiouser and curiouser! The current round of questions and assertions about John McCain’s running mate take the cake.
Palin is much too inexperienced. (If you look closely, she has more hand-on executive experience than Biden, Obama or McCain.)
Palin is merely governor of a state with a small population. (WY 515,000, AK 670,000, DE 854,000.)
What if McCain dies in office and the inexperienced Palin has to assume the helm? (What if Obama is elected and Biden dies in office?)
I need not mention the sleazy attacks on her family.
Time to put away the name calling and sophomoric questioning. It is time to spell out how each party plans to address the problems facing America. What is each planning to accomplish with social security, oil addition, rising food prices, the war against terrorism, and how will this be done?
