Looking Up – Bob Eklund
Seeing a Comet Plunge into the Sun -- On July 6, 2011, a comet was caught doing something never seen before: plunging into a scorching death as it flew too close to the Sun.

CCHS Coach Jerry Chabola to Retire
While at the podium at 7:20 pm addressing the school board at the Jan. 24 meeting of the school board in the council chambers at City Hall, Teacher's Union leader Dave Meilke tossed a joke, "I urge you to vote no on item 9.4, the resignation of Jerry Chabola." But it's not a joke - Chabola is retiring. When former School Board President Scott Zeidman came to the podium, he asked the coach to [...]
