ANDERSON: Governor, a beneficiary of government health insurance, is obtuse when it comes to healthcare

Staff Writer — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 15:45:46 +0000

My first husband was 32 when he was diagnosed with cancer. Eighteen months later, he took his last breath. As sad as that is, it could have been worse. At the time, he worked for Packard Electric and was a GM employee. Thankfully, it was the old GM with great health benefits. Looking back, I [...]

NANCY ANDERSON: Gun culture has got to change in America

Nancy Anderson — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 06:01:23 +0000

I don’t like guns. My father had an old shotgun he kept in the closet, unloaded of course. He was a country boy who never took to hunting, so I had no experience with firearms and the sport surrounding their use. Two husbands, no hunters. When I married Ken, he had a small handgun. He [...]

Ditching the ‘South’ maybe best thing for the evolving C Spire

Nancy Anderson — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 06:00:42 +0000

Cellular South recently changed its name to C Spire. I’m sure they paid a marketing firm a lot of money for that name. And I’m sure the marketing firm paid a lot of focus group people to sit around and rate various names. But, for the life of me, I can’t understand how they landed [...]

If the economy stinks, why are so many folks at Disney World?

Nancy Anderson — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 06:00:49 +0000

Ninety percent of Americans say the U.S. economy stinks. A CNN online poll shows that 72 percent think we’re heading into another recession. No surprises here. We’re all walking around with a cloud hanging over us. Doom and gloom is all I hear these days. Then, I attend a conference in Orlando, Fla. You know, [...]

Banks penalizing us for their idea … geez!

Nancy Anderson — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 06:00:06 +0000

One Sunday morning, I opened my paper to find that my bank was instituting monthly debit card fees. What!?! Don’t they make enough off us? A new law caps the charges on debit fees. This is in recognition of the change in our system of exchange. I rarely have cash in my pocket anymore. Who [...]
