Musical artists’ actions a grey area
Every week it seems like we hear something new about a music artist that people don’t agree with morally. It used to be Lady Gaga. Now it feels like there is a different artist in the news for all the wrong reasons.

‘Ghost Rider 2’ falls short of first
In 2007, Columbia Pictures, in association with Marvel Comics, released the first ever “Ghost Rider” live-action film. The film floundered with both critics and fans alike, and the studio wondered what it would do with one of the less popular super heroes in Marvel’s universe of characters.

Sake2Me offers sushi, ambience, long ...
Hays is a curious place. The city was once described to me as “half college kids from big cities, half old people and farmers.” When Sake2Me, the new sushi restaurant on Main Street, opened, I received an equally mixed reaction. Half “awesome,” half “don’t you know raw fish will give you diseases?”
I assume that Sake2Me is intended for the fo [...]
