Timmons Tries Grad Speech . . . Again It’s become my annual rite of frustration – waiting by the phone this time of year for schools to call. Why would they call you ask? Simple. There are thousands of schools and they all need a graduation speaker. I humbly and happily volunteer my services –…

BY THE NUMBERS By The Numbers, a look at what’s in the news . . . by the numbers. These are just numbers, not suggestions that they mean more or less than what they are. We do not suggest that one number is connected to another. These are simply facts with no extraneous details, bias…

In a little more than two weeks, you should hop in your car and head over on State Road 32 to Lebanon where Hachette Books will be conducting their annual sale.No, this is not a paid commercial. It’s much better than that. It’s a testimonial from a guy who has been there, done that and…

It’s back. I had high hopes after more than a hundred newspaper people and supporters showed up at the Indiana Statehouse last year that perhaps we might’ve gotten some of our good Legislators to see the light.
