Jerry and Rose Wilson's outside decorations began with four elves, Santa and Mrs. Claus and of course Rudolph. Over the years, they have added to their display to where it is now.

Dave Rogers For The Record Orange County Commissioners Barry Burton and Jody Crump indulged in a playful game of keepaway Tuesday when it came time to put forth a motion to pay the county’s weekly bills. “I don’t want in my last court to make a motion to approve almost a million dollars in expenses,” Burton said. “Commissioner Burton, you can just go ahead and write that check,” Crump joked.

AMERICA WAITS AS CLOCK TICKS TOWARD SHUTDOWN I don’t recall at anytime when Christmas rolled around and our country, not being in war, was in so much turmoil. President Donald Trump has threatened to shut down the government if congress doesn’t give him the money to build his monument, the great southern border wall, one he can put his name and picture on, his own Mount Rushmore.
