When I was growing up, I loved storms. Especially bad ones. There was something exhilarating about living in the country and watching one grow above the horizon until it eventually rolled in. Of course, I didn’t enjoy the yard work that followed, but that was a minor inconvenience to the thrill of watching the storm…… MORE

Doug Helton: 5/12/15 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The last time we talked I mentioned that spring is my favorite time of the year. A renewal for all kinds of things from trees to plants, everything turning green again. But with that also comes spring storms. In the radio news business it’s something we keep constant eye on and when flooding or tornadoes…… MORE
Rick Hadley: 5/11/15 Terror vs. Freedom
Did you ever imagine it would come to this? Terrorism right here in our own back yard. Welcome back to the dark ages where it’s repent or die and you still will likely die for all the things you did or didn’t do or the things the accuser believes you did or didn’t do correctly.…… MORE
Marna Davis: 5/8/15 Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day holds a special meaning when your mom has passed away. My mother got a brain tumor when I was a sophomore in college, and passed away when I was a senior. I commuted for five hours a day between my hometown of San Diego and Los Angeles, where I went to college to…… MORE
Marlee McCormick: 5/7/15 Royal Geek
Ok, I admit it I’m a geek when it comes to the Royals, fascinated by the monarchy as if they were rock stars. They also hold the key to one of the biggest mystery’s of life…what the heck does Queen Elizabeth carry in that purse?? She’s always got one, but what could she possibly need…an…… MORE
Kristin Thrower: 5/6/15 Life Changes
We’ve always heard the variations of the cliché “Life is too short.” Life is too short to not have dessert. Life is too short to pass on an opportunity. Life is too short to be complacent and not go after what you really want. That last one has special meaning for me now. I’m going…… MORE
Freda Ross: 5/5/15 Do you hear what I hear?
I think we would all agree that we don’t take enough time to “stop and smell the roses.” I experienced a “warm fuzzy” over the weekend when I put up my new wind chimes for the season. I love being on the patio or even sitting in my den and hearing the clink, clink, clink…… MORE
Rick Hadley: 5/4/15 Relax why don’t ya?
Posted on May 4, 2015 If you listen to these commentaries on a regular basis, you know that Veronica and I bought a house not so long ago. And we haven’t rested since. The place was built in 1925 and for a home that is 90 years old, it’s in very good shape. However, a lot…… MORE
Chad Dixon: 5/1/15 Hobbies
Most of us have hobbies…well, I seem to collect ’em. It started in college when I got really into fish tanks, or as us nerds call it “tanking”…See, the problem is, I feed of other people’s excitement. If you’re jazzed about tic-tac-toe, I’m jazzed about tic-tac-toe. Anyways, my roommate in college was a diving instructor and…… MORE

Finally, the long-awaited Apple Watch has hit the streets. It can deliver emails and texts. It can track your health stats. You can also use it as a payment device. It ranges in price from $349 to $17,000 but you have to have an iPhone to make it work because most of it’s functions only…… MORE
