The bear statues at each end of the Klamath River Bridge on U.S. 101 in Del Norte County were cast to replace the original ones that formerly stood at the ends of the G. H. Douglas Memorial Bridge, which washed out during the December 1964 flood. These statues represent the grizzly bear, California’s official state animal. The contract specification…

BOSTON — National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19 by elements of a Para-military extremist faction.

Spike Milligan is quoted as saying, “Money can’t buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.” This was before cyberspace, hard drives and Facebook.

A couple of months ago I commented to a friend, “The networks is softening us up or something with all these shows about polygamy in the last few years.” This was in reaction to the latest called, “Polygamy, USA,” offered up by National Geographic. It follows shows like, “Sister Wives,” and the popular HBO series, “Big…

The Supreme Court’s confusing rulings now extend federal recognition to same-sex marriages in the states where they are legal. The twin rulings have no direct effect on the constitutional amendments in the 29 states that limit marriage to heterosexual couples. As for the ‘Defense of Marriage Act,’  the court ruled against the part denying benefits…
