DOT offers advice for falling objects - Tamara Boatwright
Last week I yammered on about a football size rock sailing off a dump truck and slamming into the left fender of my car. I took a light-hearted look at what could have been a serious situation.
Haunted ?trip' leaves real scars - Zach Porter
When I was a toddler I fell out the second story window of my home. My parents recovered me from the pine island below with only a busted lip. A few years later I had pneumonia. After that I crashed my bike as often as I could, with just a few scratches to show for my wild stunts. I've swung from vines across creeks, been white water rafting, traveled to rural Central American villages, skied steep, wide open Colorado bowls, and finally, plowed into oncoming traffic at 45 mph (not my fault by the way). And after 25 years without a major scar, I finally take a spill at the haunted house on Halloween, followed by a trip to the emergency room for six stitches.
Requiem for teacher who loved democracy - Diane Wagner
I'm tempted to use his name, but there's an off chance that he's still alive.
Stand forth, anonymous coward - Ed Brock
What kind of weak ninny seeks anonymous publicity?
Getting a new house in order - Clay Wilson
My mother is depressed. I don't think she would mind me sharing this, because she has a perfectly legitimate reason for her mood.

?Comfortably south of Atlanta' - April Avison
We usually reserve breaking news for the front page, but I felt it would be appropriate to announce some news in this space. The Henry County Chamber of Commerce recently completed an intense branding project, compiling surveys and information submitted by those who live here and those who travel here. The result is Henry County's new tagline: "Comfortably south of Atlanta."

?Speared' by annoying, suggestive e-mail ads - Greg Gelpi
Advertising has gone mad. The other day I received an email from someone, a person who makes it a point to dress modestly as prescribed by her religious beliefs.

Taupe, ecru, tawny? No, brown! - R.H. Joseph
Once again mired in the re-decorating blues (Is He testing me?), I am at wit's end, rendered stark raving mad by the myriad choices available to one lucky (or unlucky) enough to be born in The Land of Plenty.
Louisianaizing a Louisiana boy - Bob Paslay
I loaned one of our newest reporters a copy of "Confederacy of Dunces" to read since he is from Louisiana. And as soon as he is through I plan to bring in one of my dog-eared copies of Robert Penn Warren's "All the King's Men."

Scaring up old traditions on Halloween - Rob Felt
Only one night a year can bring together the smells of waxy chocolate and granulated sugar with those of latex, grease paint and sweaty kids. Add to this a crisp twilight breeze that hints at winter and the rustle of fallen brown leaves underfoot. With all the kinetic force of a 5th birthday party and more explosively delivered sucrose than a pi?ata, it's here ? Halloween!
