  • Smoke House

    Gwen Cornwell, For the Courier

    A friend and I were discussing Burma Shave signs the other day. I know that I have done this before, but thought I would start out with one again. STAND A LITTLE CLOSER TO YOUR RAZOR FOR A CLOSER SHAVE. With that behind us thought I would ask how many of you had access to a smoke house in days past? A lot of folks butchered and processed their own meat in days past. If you or your family did the chances are you may still have that old building standing. I doubt if that smell ever left the building. I rather enjoyed the smell but not all do. I...

  • When Should You Take Social Security?

    Edward Jones Financial Advisor CFP Arron Franzen, For the Courier

    One of your important sources of retirement income will likely be Social Security — but when should you start taking it? You can start collecting Social Security benefits at 62, but your checks will be considerably bigger if you wait until your full retirement age, which is likely between 66 and 67. You could even wait until you’re 70, at which point the payments will max out, except for yearly cost-of-living adjustments. But if you need the money, you need the money, even if you’re just 62 or any age before full retirement age....

  • Peeves and Bugbears

    Mary Honrud, For the Courier

    This past week, while in conversation with a friend, we talked about pet peeves. I volunteered to air hers. She really wants everyone to have their headlights on at all times while driving. The lack of visible headlights in oncoming traffic, especially during snow and fog events, is not only annoying, it’s downright dangerous. You may feel you don’t need your headlights to see what you’re driving into, but they are definitely needed by the people you meet. Light-colored vehicles blend into that snow or fog. Even dark-colored vehicles...
