It’s back! A last-minute court of appeals ruling could put tens of thousands of farmers in legal crosshairs for failing to register their businesses with the federal government. Farmers who operate some corporations and limited liability companies are once again required to file Beneficial Ownership Information with the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) or face stiff fines or jail time. A federal district court ruled earlier in December to halt the requirement, but yesterday the United States Court of A...

The Hardware Store was not vandalized, but an unfortunate brake failure by a customer took out the side street window. The Adam’s family temporarily repaired the opening for the store, adding a humorous quip, giving customers a new idea of a service that they might love- a drive through hardware. The hardware ladies assure that it is not, nor ever will be, a drive through....

Over the Holiday season, no one works harder than the staff at the Post Office. Last year we designated Will a Local hero. Faithfully getting every last piece of mail out each day on his route. He is not the only mail box hero, each person at the Post Office labours through the holidays, and with the increase in Amazon packages, and online shopping, the labor has increased without the ability to have an increase in workers. The days of the Mail Man are very long, and they don’t stop till they a...
