The Bear Creek School boys’ basketball team is back on the court, ready to deliver some big-time results.

“We want to be big in everything we do.”

Crazy concern in Carnation
Crazy concern in Carnation
By Bill Christianson • October 16, 2008 2:58 pm

I am utterly disturbed and disgusted by the concentration-camp-like details that surfaced out of Carnation earlier this week.
I do not believe in capital punishment, but right now I am thinking that the electric chair might be the best place for Rebecca Long, a 44-year-old Carnation woman who allegedly starved and tortured her 14-year-old stepdaughter.

Apathy is tearing apart our country
Apathy is tearing apart our country
By Bill Christianson • September 26, 2008 4:33 pm

Can you name our country’s biggest problem?
No, it’s not a decay of morals, though there probably is.
No, it’s not our economic inefficiencies or the crash of Wall Street.
No, it’s not a desensitizing to violence and other people’s tragedies as a result of the TV news or YouTube.
No, it’s not the boatloads of money and mounds of mud being thrown around in the name of votes. And it’s not even the near-complete corruption of our elected officials.
These are all huge issues we must fix, but the biggest problem facing our country is apathy.
We just don’t care.
