Brian Gonzales J&W Lumber Outdoor home decor is based on a number of things: current design trends, geographical region, and of course, personal preference. As the decking industry continues to change, there's been growing interest in composite-manufactured decking. But for some, the warmth and classic style of a wood deck is still ideal. The appearance that wood provides is timeless, which is why it always manages to make its way back as a top trend. For homeowners who apprec...
Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News "Cotton Patch Gospel" earns a 10 out of 10! It's not re-imagined, it's revitalized. Even though Lamb's Players has been telling this story since the early 80s, director Gilmore Smyth has revitalized the show into a heart-warming, toe tapping, knee-slapping, banjo-picking hoe-down. It's part tent revival-part traveling minstrel show. Using the Gospels of Matthew and John as inspiration, "Cotton Patch Gospel" is a reminder...

Jean Larsen Executive Director Legacy Endowment Community Foundation Let’s start with a bold statement. Whether you like our current government or not, there has been one positive thing that held true for two centuries: those who are generous in their charitable giving are provided favorable tax deductions and/or offered various solutions to reduce or completely eliminate capital gains. Of course, it can also be said some layers of complexity have been added in recent decades. But in essence, the greater good of such h...

They are from out of town and F... Full story

That led many who were yearning for the freedom to worship as they pleased t... Full story

Jane Kepley Special to the Village News Home appraisals often get confused with home inspections – and while both play an important role in the homebuying process, they aren’t very similar.

The inspector will highlight deficiencies, safety hazards or repairs that may need to be addressed before you buy the home. Appraisers, on the other hand, assess the value of a home to ensure your loan amount is appropriate. If you’re paying...
