Amy Chodroff 06/09/2016; Loosening the Grip!

My older daughter is 17 years old today. How can that be? After all, I’m still trying to lose the baby weight I gained when I was pregnant with her. We already survived the driving thing, and now we about to dive head first into the whole college application process. I should be an expert…MORE

Freda Ross 5/27/16; It’s Just a Card

I took an unexpected trip down memory lane this week. I was sorting through boxes in my garage and found pictures of old boyfriends and greeting cards from family, college friends and my ex-husband. It’s amazing how finding things that were once take you back in time. Unfortunately because of technology people don’t really send/give…MORE

Kristin Thrower 5/16/16; To Hold Onto or To Let Go?

I discovered a man from my church is a doctor. An optometrist.  He and I talked at length over the weekend about my mother’s macular degeneration and how she can possibly have a happier life with the disease that eventually takes your eyesight. I learned the condition is one of many that will eventually come…MORE

Sam Putney 5/13/16; Mother’s Day

With Mother’s Day weekend behind us now, just like every year at this time, I began to question whether it’s really necessary. You see I think that mothers should be shown special treatment everyday and not just one day a year.   However, every year, after seeing so many fathers and children at Target or…MORE

Eric Bushman 4/19/16: Fictionalizing History

It is a reputation that has followed me a majority of my teenaged, young-adult and now professional life: Being the “Kennedy Guy.” That has its pros and cons. Lately, I have enjoyed the conversation at work from coworkers who have been watching the ‘11.22.63’ miniseries based on the Stephen King book by the same name.…MORE

Marna Davis 3/31/16: We Never Would

On March 15th I was assigned to cover the story of Fort Worth Police Officer Matt Pearce, who had been shot several times.  I went to JPS hospital for a news conference with Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald to update everyone on Officer Pearce’s condition. Before Chief Fitzgerald began his news conference he said something to all…MORE

Kristin Thrower 3/29/16; Plenty of Fish?

Plenty of Fish? Are there really? I’m in my 30s, and about to enter the dating scene soon for the first time since I was a teenager. A friend of mine signed me up on a dating site and remind me to NOT thank her. After about 2 hours of having my profile active, there…MORE

Robbie Hoy 3/10/16; Are you ready for the next storm?

It’s already been a busy storm season. First, we had the December 26th tornadoes where 13 people died and that’s not even considered storm season. This past Tuesday, Tornadoes hit the towns of Cool, Stephenville and Tolar. I was in Tolar and saw the destruction. Five of twelve mobile homes destroyed, lives torn apart, children…MORE
