Wasco's Pizza Factory was taken over by an ESports invasion Saturday, when over 30 people came in prepared to play the Super Smash Brothers Ultimate competition.

Anyone with an interest in video games was able to enter, and most of the visitors to the restaurant signed up to compete and not just play the game. The competition is fast-moving with...

Lila is a female shepherd/bully mix and is 2-3 years old. She weighs almost 45 pounds. She is friendly and loves belly rubs. Initially, Lila can be shy.

Twenty-four women got together in Wasco last week to play 18 games of Bunko, two hours of fun and games as they kept score and passed around the bunko trinket. Everything in bunko is up to the roll of the dice. There are six games in each set, and there were three sets played during the afternoon. Historically, Bunco is considered a parlor game (played indoors or in the parlor), and is usually played with 12 or more players divided into groups of four, trying to score points while taking turns...
I wrote an column last month that was really tough for me. We had lost our dog TJ, leaving a big hole in my heart that I didn't think would ever get filled again. When we first lost him, I didn't even want to think about getting another dog. People would tell me that getting another dog would be the best thing for me. I couldn't imagine ever having to go through that again. It hurt so much that I couldn't think about it. I would look around the house, or even do small things like taking out the...
JIM NEAL “I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.” --Abraham Lincoln Doesn’t it seem as you look around, read the newspaper or listen to or watch the daily news that one of the key concepts missing in all of humanness is the quality of wisdom? A very old dictionary that I have in my position, actually the 1953 College Edition of Webster’s New World, defines wisdom in this way: “the quality of being wise; the power of judging rightly and following the soundest course of action, based on knowledge, experienc...
It was this time last year that America got a huge wakeup call with our “recycling.” China implemented their “national sword” -- otherwise known as the “China Ban” where they completely shut down accepting all U.S. recycling materials for an entire month. A year later, some may ask where we are now. The tone has been set from last year. After the month-long shut down, things very slowly started to pick back up, but with stricter enforcement on contamination. For what used to be acceptable to send a recycling load with 10 percent contaminati...
