At the Valley County Landfill there is a new,...
Dear Editor, Masks. The science is clear that masks help prevent Covid-19. The pleas to use them are coming from survivors, many of whom were doubters and physicians of all sorts.

Peter Marshall: "May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right." Sincerely, Gordon Bell, M.D. Fort...

Even so, today there are an estimated 10 million Americans (and 35 million people worldwide) who descend from those original passengers, according to the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. This means three...
