An email landed in my inbox and caught my attention. I don’t watch a lot of television, unless the Weather Channel and sporting events count. And, if by some chance I watch a network show, I’m continually disillusioned by the number of advertisements promising health benefits ... until you read the fine print and learn all the unwanted side effects.

Two weeks ago, I supported a one-year extension of current Farm Bill programs. While a conventional five-year reauthorization of the Farm Bill is preferable, many of these critical programs lapsed Sept. 30.

I'm pleased Congress has acted to ensure American producers will have another year of certainty as they work to put food on our table and...

Nearly 1.2 million Americans live in nursing homes today. The vast majority of those Americans are seniors, people who urgently need the specialized care that long-term nursing facilities provide. That's especially true in small towns, where a greater percentage of the population is over 65. But this fall, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services proposed a rule that could close nursing facilities across rural America. The rule proposed in September has the stated goal of improving care in...
Basketball enthusiasts may notice one rule change when regular-season play begins tonight. The one and one is done. Instead, the bonus - two free throws - will be awarded for common fouls committed when a team is in the bonus. A second change is that teams will be in bonus once the opponent commits five fouls in a quarter. Fouls reset each quarter. Summerland boys' basketball coach Brett Kaczor said he likes the change.
