As an Edgar Abbey character famously said, “I thought I was wrong once, but I found out later I was mistaken.”
So it’s not just me who thinks so highly of themselves! Me? Wrong about something? Nah! My opinions are so well-thought-out; my perspectives, so sincere! My thinking is so thoughtful; my analyses, so all-encompassing! Read More

Fr. Glenn: The Gift Of Fatherhood
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, it’s mid-June, so it must be Fathers’ Day! A most happy and blessed Dads’ day to all your fathers out there, for being a father is honor, responsibility and privilege—indeed, very likely a man’s greatest responsibility when he has children. So cherish the gift that fatherhood is! … knowing that your love and care for your children is to reflect the love and care of God the Eternal Father for all.
For if a man fails to protect and provide for his little ones (other than in circumstances beyond his control—illness and the like), many will think him not much of a man at all Read More

Due To Staff Shortage ACT To Suspend Route 2M
COUNTY News:
Due to staff shortage, Atomic City Transit (ACT) will suspend operations of Route 2M beginning Friday, June 21 until further notice. Please use Route 2T during this time.
ACT did receive feedback asking to consider suspending Route 2T instead of 2M should the need arise, since 2M provides a more direct route downtown.
After much deliberation, several factors influenced the decision to cancel Route 2M over 2T:
- Route 2T connects to all routes at the Transit Center, while 2M does not connect to Route 6 during non-peak times or Route 5
- Route 2T provides service to more areas in White Rock,
