Cornish game hen on the grill with a Southwestern twist (10/23/11)
Barbecued Cornish game hen is one of my favorites and I have a favorite made-from-scratch Southwestern style barbecue sauce that anyone can tailor to suit his own tastes. I clipped the basic recipe, which I have adapted, from a magazine 30 years ago and just thinking about it makes me want to fire up the grill...

Planners say hands are tied (10/06/10)
For yet another month, Bedford County Planning Commission ended up spending most of its monthly meeting talking about the issue of concentrated animal feeding operations or CAFOs.
