A third baseman had her bright red, dyed hair pulled back in a ponytail. A shortstop had a leopard-skin print on her shorts.

Nelson dirt diamond across the street from Casey?s South.Last ...

To the editor:It was with great sadness that I read the article on the front page of the April 15 Fairfield Ledger [?Planned Parenthood plans to expand in Nebraska, Iowa?] telling of Planned Parenthood?s expansion plans. They plan to open 12 new facilities in Nebraska and Iowa, and the new Omaha facility will provide abortions. President Obama says, ?Everything is on the table when it comes to cutting spending....

Numerous folks from around these parts have wintered in McAllen for years, and I always wondered: exactly what was the attraction?I have a better understanding of that attraction now that I have been there myself. McAllen is located not far from the Rio Grande. It is ...

I?m conflicted. Every time Randy West asks me back to Fairfield for his next musical, it?s a pretty easy decision to make. It?s always great to be back among such friendly people, in such a welcoming town. Access to Paul?s workout room is wonderful, and Everybody?s has everything a vegan could want to eat. Performing in a space like the Sondheim Center is always an honor, and Randy?s material is always engaging....
