The Tim Tebow ordeal, it’s about culture, stupid

Body

Everyone seems to have an opinion on Urban Meyer’s decision to sign Tim Tebow to the roster of the NFL Jacksonville Jaguars.

The all-knowing Charles Barkley pontificated that Tebow failed as a quarterback in the NFL and as a Minor League Baseball player — so Sir Charles encourages Tebow to not embarrass himself and just hang it up.

Cole: President Biden must secure the southern border

Body

Every year, the United States welcomes nearly 1 million immigrants entering our country legally and lawfully. That is more than any other nation in the world.

While both Republicans and Democrats agree that immigration reform is needed, President Biden’s policy reform by executive action is severely misguided and irresponsible. And as we have seen in recent months, the consequences of his open border policies are endangering American citizens.

The deadline to obtain a REAL ID has been pushed back to May 3, 2023, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Department of Homeland Security made the announcement last week.

Letter to the Editor: Riverside school issues

Body

To the Editor:

To the patrons of Riverside School, I want to apologize for my actions in the last several days, but I have been under a lot of stress in concern for our wonderful school.

This school has a great history, but the direction it is going is very sad. It has approximately 119 students. I know COVID can be a reason, but good leadership can be another.
