By Beth David, Editor Well, they’ve got kahoonas, I’ll give ’em that. Lavalette gets kicked off the Historical Commission because of his bad behavior, but asks to be put back on now (see page 3).

The Greatest Story The Christmas season prompts me to ask this question: “What is the greatest story ever told?”  For me, there are several elements worth considering.
