The freedom and liberties that people in many countries will never know. But on this particular Veterans Day, with flags flying in the brisk wind and sunshine, it occurred to me that our freedoms can at times be a double edged sword.

Camas celebrates school bus safety

The Camas School District celebrated National School Bus Safety Week Oct. 21 to 25. This event is intended to call attention to school bus safety and promote school bus transportation. This year's theme was: "At my Stop - You Stop!" It reminds students to be cautious any time they must cross the street, and to do so where they can be seen by the bus driver and watch for traffic.
