What about these fuel prices?

Urging Americans to ‘wake up’

To The Editor: The World Economic Forum (WEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are pairing up to make global health rules for all of us on this planet, in all countries.

Warning to prepare for extreme weather this winter

As I type this letter in Cleveland on Dec. 22, the forecast is calling for a low temperature of about 7 degrees F on Friday morning. By the time you see this on Dec. 31, we should be back to much more comfortable temps and a very decent end-of-year weather forecast. Historically, Cleveland has nearly the lowest average annual snowfall of any city in Tennessee: about 1.5 inches. So it is easy to take that for granted. more
