News That Matters – October 7, 2009

Back in early July I wrote an article entitled, “Is There No Balm in Gilead?” regarding the plight of a homeowner who finds herself surrounded on 3 sides by the continuing destruction of what was once a mountain and now, little by little, is becoming a molehill topped with little boxes made of ticky-tacky. . . . → Read More: News That Matters – October 7, 2009

News That Matters – September 9, 2009

For other primaries the county Board of Elections has posted a list of candidates names who will appear in various races across the county.
