The local Hunt for the Hungry game donation program continues to serve area residents in need, even as contributions have fallen amid a slumping economy and reduced deer harvest last year.
This laudable program kicks off its 16th year with the start of the archery deer season Saturday. As it does, we implore hunters to consider donating what they can, and applaud a new mechanism that could help increase contributions from local outdoors enthusiasts.

Chuck Norris: Trigger the vote!

The surprise victory of Christine O’Donnell in Delaware’s Senate primary confirms what we’ve suspected all year, ever since the election of Sen. Scott Brown from Massachusetts in January. This year’s critical midterm elections are going to bring real change to Congress. And it won’t be the kind of change favored by the “hope and change” crowd — at least I hope not.
I’ve been taking every possible opportunity this year to talk about the importance of voting in these elections. In May, I visited the National Rifle Association’s Annual Meeting and talked about how just about everything — from U.N. treaties to Supreme Court decisions — are affected by the power of the vote.
