Barbuda is just a little island of approximately 1,600 villagers in the Caribbean. Hurricane Irma touched down in Barbuda on Sept. 5, ravaging the area with winds of 185 miles per hour. One teacher at Curtis Elementary School calls Barbuda home.

Guest Columnist Doug Hanky A few days ago, I shared a bucket list item of mine with some friends at dinner. This summer, I will go to the beach and watch a sunrise, take some pictures, drink some coffee, and then have a leisurely breakfast and more coffee! After breakfast, I will climb on the motorcycle and cruise the back roads up to the mountains. I may stop at some little antique shops and yard sales along the way. I will find a hole-in-the-wall restaurant and eat a late lunch on the way to my final destination, the highest mountain peak,…
It’s 1950 and you’re on your vacation over the Independence Day holiday, top is down on your ’48 Chevy, mom’s got her bandana tight and the trip down Route 1 makes dad happy. It feels historic to him and she’s just happy to get away. The kids like the adventure. As the miles fly by, it’s time to take a break. Parnell’s Restaurant wins out with the moniker “you are now entering the south.” The menu which featured a robust choice of broiled steaks, southern fried chicken or seafood was also an invitation to lodge at their cabins adjacent to…

What may have been a little disappointing for some was refreshing for others during the 15th annual Fort Lee Army Band concert sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Chester and Village News. The Kiwanis annual concert event has always been a patriotic event with the Fort Lee Army Band playing, but due to budget cuts on the base, the full band was not able to attend this year. Not even a scaled down band like the performance last year. But they did have a band that could perform, the 392nd Rock Band was scheduled. They considered their line-up of music…
retired army maj. gen. Merdith "Bo" temple and Nancy Temple
During a recent Chester Lions Club meeting, Retired Army Maj. Gen. Merdith “Bo” Temple shared his insights into the life and accomplishments of George Washington. The information Temple shared focused on Washington as a farmer, an innovator, and someone concerned with building the nation through commerce and trade, information frequently left out of history books. Washington was primarily home-schooled and self-taught as a surveyor who inherited Mount Vernon, where initially tobacco was grown. In 1753, Washington joined the battles of the French and Indian War on the northwest frontier, where he acquired much of his military acumen. After the war,…
Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. Not counting Washington D.C. things have been pretty quiet around here. Speaking of DC, it seems these days that they are spending more time on investigations, inquires, and hearings than working on any real legislation. In the past I would have said that was a good thing since it seems the less our government does the better off we really are…however, with all of the serious issues we face with health care, tax reform, security, and the economy…Congress needs to quit acting like Democrats and Republicans [or like little…
