To the Editor: In October, a group of citizens in the Bessemer and Wakefield-Marenisco school districts filed a request to begin consolidation proceedings with our state board of education. The state board has recently approved the request to allow circulation of petitions and a ballot in 2014. I’m not speaking on behalf of Bessemer Area Schools.

Consolidation is a smart choice because our schools currently have inadequate offerings, ranging from shortcomings in special education to literacy, to s...
A big thank to the White Thunder Riders of Hurley for the donation of $500 in gas cards to the Road to Recovery.

Special thanks also to Mary Beth, a member of the White T...

NEW DELHI (AP) - The world of chess has a new king, and it's a 22-year-old who is as much at home posing for fashion shoots as he is pushing pawns. Magnus Carlsen of Norway won the chess world championship Friday, becoming the first Western player since Bobby Fischer to hold the title. Carlsen, a former child prodigy who has already been on a list of the world's sexiest men and has moonlighted as a model, defeated defending champion Viswanathan Anand of India in a title match that was the game's...
