National Bike Month is May 13-17, 2013 Bicycling is fun, writer says. And half of all trips are less than 3 miles, an easy biking distance By Diane Rose May is National Bike Month -a perfect time for our community to recognize and celebrate all the benefits of bicycling. Bicycling keeps us healthy, carries us efficiently from point A to point B, saves us from high gas prices, and makes our air cleaner and our roads less congested. Bicycling is good for our community and helps address many of our most pressing societal and environmental problems. Bicycling is fun! Even though this week, May 13-17, 2013, is National Bike to Work Week, I encourage you to think of it as Bike to Anywhere Week. According to the national bike group PeopleForBikes, half of all trips Americans make are three miles or less - an easy biking distance. If more people in our community bike, even just once a week or once a month, we'll all be better off (even those of us who don't ride). This month, dust off your bike and give two wheels a try! --Diane Rose 2013-05-16 08:20:43 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Healthy Lifestlyes by Kelli Bonifer

Willis, one mile south of this town. The treasure consists of about $65,000 in gold and silver coin, and about $10,000 (present value) of jewelry, such as diamond rings, pins, ear rings, etc. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2013-05-16 06:14:23 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Mike Watson - History

After the show Kris and I were able to have a short conversation and I was photographed with him by Suzanne. Kris penned Sunday Morning Comin Down, Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make It Through the Night, and Why Me, Lord. Why Me was inspired by a song sung the night before at a church in Nashville by Larry Gatlin. Kris told the story about how the night that Larry performed and how he was saved by our Lord as he accepted Jesus as his personal Savior. Kris said after he was saved that he felt the need to write and record his song. Larry Gatlin was a surprise guest tonight and he performed his song that inspired Kris to change his life. Kris is now 76 years young and still has a wonderful gift from our Lord of being blessed with a tremendous voice. His performance lasted about two hours. - Big Al Owens 2013-05-16 05:50:58 | Comments | Printable version
