What About This?

What About This . . .? By Wayne William Cipriano

If you read the front page article entitled, “Moms Tell School Board – Bullying Is a Problem and It’s Being Ignored” in the 23 August, 2018 edition of the Douglas County Herald, you know as much as I do about the School Board meeting’s attention to a bullying problem in our Ava schools and I…

What About This? – Wayne William Cipriano

We just finished an election. Proposition A (“Right to Work”) was about the only decision we here in Douglas County had to make. Sitting County Officials for the most part ran unopposed for the Republican spots on November’s ballot. The one “race” I remember seeing ended in a 3-to-1 or 4-to-1 runaway. Were there any…

We have been told, at least by some, that there is no such thing as Global Warming, and the climate conditions that such warming would bring about. And I, for one, am very glad to hear that. I am watching some of those terrible fires burning in California, one of which is fairly close to…

I wrote this article before the election when I was quite sure Proposition A, the “Right to Work” legislation, would pass.

What word is being said,…

What is the deal with these plants? You buy your seeds: florals, vegetables, whatever, from a reputable source since no bargain-brand seeds are really cost effective when you consider the time and energy you put into the plants before you find how well they are going to perform. You use the best soil.  Yes, you…

The other day I heard two people talking about the differences we see in the Federal Government when we compare the present administration to past administrations.  I’m not going to speak of those differences, each of us can evaluate them on our own, but I do want to say something about the conversation they were…

By Wayne William Cipriano Buying in bulk is the way to go. If you have the storage space. On the face of it you sound like a whacko. Who buys 50 pound of birdseed, 50 pounds of popcorn, or 35 pounds of cat food all at once? Are we anticipating an Alfred Hitchcock-like infusion of…

We don’t play many table games in our family. There are those who take the competitive nature of some games way too seriously, and during our recent Thanksgiving Celebration there were more than enough areas of potential “conflict” already, what with the present state of local, national and international affairs. Some games become popular for…
