It’s early Sunday morning and a cool, rainy breeze has sent my chubby cat, Claire, seeking refuge in my lap under our prized orange blanket. My son, Chris and I love that old blanket mainly because it belonged to my husband, Terry, who brought it from New Zealand. It is spun from the softest wool, yet as ugly as it gets.

If the h...

The implementation of the Interim Agricultural Water Program cutbacks requires farmers on the IAWP program to reduce water deliveries by 30 percent.

The totals include water delivered and sold to CWA member a...
