February 4, 2013 Augusta native Julia Clukey has a full plate. For starters, she's on the world stage competing in an adrenaline-fueled sport. When she's on her luge sled, she has a single focus...winning the race. When she is home, it's family, friends and helping kids succeed in whatever they put their minds to.
February 4, 2013 Massachusetts has some of the strictest laws in the nation when it comes to guns. These laws were enacted in 1998 and, since then, there has been a steady rise in crimes involving guns. Hmmmm. Makes you think, doesn't it?

February 3, 2013 Friday, Governor Paul LePage read "Baxter in the Blaine House," at St. John's School in Winslow.

January 31, 2013 My heart goes out to those who are spending weekends having to trailer more than a hundred miles north to jump on the sled and go for a ride. And even more to those who don't have the time or money and sit at home on a sunny winter weekend looking at your snowmobile sitting outside in the dirt or on the grass. This isn't winter.
January 30, 2013 While practicing his dives for the celebrity diving show, Splash, comedian Louie Anderson nearly drowned. Thank goodness co-star, NFL star Ndamukong Suh, was there!
January 30, 2013 Coming down my culdesac, I feared I was going to land in the ditch. I had little control coming down the hill on my private road. Granted, it's not maintained like municipal roads, but this was a pre-cursor to what was ahead...
January 29, 2013 105-year-old Edythe Kirchmaier of California has never had so much as a parking ticket and she got her license during the height of Babe Ruth's career. That's enough to make most of us envious for many reasons, not the least of which is, she probably has a pretty good insurance premium.
