  • This is an American issue

    When people seek to exploit economic, social, or other ills for purely political purposes the result is inevitably a skewed, oversimplified analysis of the problem, its causes and potential solutions. Such was the case with a recent column that contemptuously mocked the efforts of conservatives – republicans, democrats, and independents alike – to stem the rapidly rising tide of government intervention, control and spending.

  • Quilting queen

    Imagine Kay Bailey’s surprise when she brought home a blue ribbon from the 2008 Grant County Fair.

    It was only her first time to enter and she won first and second place ribbons for the handiwork.

    Bailey of Williamstown began quilting about four years ago in a homemaker club and she’s not stopped.

    “Sometimes it’s just a little project, but I keep busy, even though I am retired,” she said, with a laugh.

  • Hornaday Jr. holds on for victory

    Yellow caution flags flew frequently towards the end of the Built Ford Tough 225.

    Ron Hornaday, Jr. battled Mike Skinner to the end, taking advantage of several late restarts to win the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Race at the Kentucky Speedway on July 18. The win at Kentucky was Hornaday Jr.’s third consecutive win.

    “I hate to say it, but we didn’t have the truck to win,” Hornaday Jr. said. “It’s just the restarts worked out in our favor and Rick Ren (Hornaday Jr.’s crew chief) did a great job.”

  • Gone, but not forgotten

    Grant County lost two lovely ladies last week.

    Miss Della Jones and Mrs. Geneva (Mam-maw) Hutchison were a lot a like.

    Miss Della, Grant County’s oldest resident at 106, was a joy to be around. She had the most beautiful smile that managed to light up her dark eyes. She was soft spoken and genteel, but when she did speak, her words carried a lot of wisdom and thought.

    I first met Miss Della when she turned 100. That interview was one I’ll never forget because she was such a character. I spent an enjoyable afternoon talking with her about her life.
