Grants help eateries help themselves
Jean DeJardine, owner of Beverly’s, said she’s looking forward to satisfying a craving she discovered in Crosby and Divide County residents last summer. Milkshakes. “We went through — oh my gosh — we made 20 to 30 milkshakes a day,” she said.

There’s a bit of lunacy in those legislative halls
Passing DreamsWhen I read the papers Friday my next stop was the calendar to see if there was a full moon. Everyone knows a full moon brings out some crazy stuff. You know, lunacy, the root word being lunar, “of or relating to the moon.” The full moon actually was a day later, Saturday, Dec. 22. Close enough for the lunacy […]
