  • Statement: lTC made the right call in reversing newsprint tariffs

    David Chavern, President and CEO, News Media Alliance|Sep 3, 2018

The Department of Commerce recently upheld the tariffs and, though they revised them to slightly lower levels (but still as high as 20 percent), the tariffs would have been unsustainable for newspapers, other printers and publishers and printers. Fortunately, our voice was heard at...

    Allison Lindgren|Sep 3, 2018

    Anyone who has read this column since it started, has read about my parents and the respect I have for the love they share and the way they live their lives.

Whitney … for his family troubles, which include the mysterious departure of his wife from the town of Ypsilanti, and the arrest of F...

    As King David was approaching Bahurim, there was a man coming out; he was of the same clan as the house of Saul, and his name was Shimei, son of Gera. He kept cursing as he came out, 6 and throwing stones at David and at all King David’s officers, even though all the soldiers, including the royal guard, were on David’s right and on his left. 7Shimei was saying as he cursed: “Get out! Get out! You man of blood, you scoundrel! 8The LORD has paid you back for all the blood shed from the family of Saul,* whom you replaced as king, and the LORD has...
