When Loretta Fogerson decided it was time to get hospice help for her ailing mother, her main focus was on her mother’s care. She was surprised to discover the hospice staff cared for her and her family as much as her mother. “The week that my mom died, I stayed at the nursing home with her. They brought me a huge basket full of things we could have right there so we wouldn’t have to go out and get them,” Fogerson said. She said the hospice staff often took care of things she didn’t even think of. “If you’re going to take car... Full story

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a victory for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House narrowly passed landmark health care legislation Saturday night to expand coverage to tens of millions who lack it and place tough new restrictions on the insurance industry. Republican opposition was nearly unanimous. The 220-215 vote cleared the way for the Senate to begin debate on the issue that has come to overshadow all others in Congress. A triumphant Speaker Nancy Pelosi likened the legislation to the passage of Social...

Criticism only serves as motivation I am a student at Choices Alternative School. My teachers, many other students and I have read comments on the CNJ Web site related to our school. Choices is a great school. We are not just hoodlums. Choices students are only normal people trying to earn a diploma in order to receive a higher education. Just because we’ve made mistakes in the past does not mean we aren’t concerned about our future, and in mothers’ cases, our children’s future. People who are slow at learning or those who ar...

The Fort Hood massacre is shaking the military community and Americans everywhere. Nothing seems more horrific, if it's even possible to quantify these events on some horrible scale, than a soldier firing upon his comrades. As a military wife I can't begin to imagine the pain, suffering and fear the families and the community must be experiencing at this moment. Thinking and writing about it hits too close to home. The suspect and alleged gunman Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, an Army psychiatrist at Darnall Army Medical Center,...
Deer hunting came full circle for my brother and I last week but it’s remarkable just how much things have changed. The circle came when family members including my brother and I planned a deer hunting trip earlier this year to the same canyon where my dad first took my brother and I hunting 36 years ago. It has been 25 to 30 years since the two of us have been in a deer camp together and we figured it had been more than a dozen years since either of us had been deer hunting separate of each other. When I quit deer hunting 1...

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) — Air Force linebacker Andre Morris Jr. didn’t lead the team in tackles, didn’t have any sacks, and didn’t really turn in any spectacular plays. Still, he may have made the biggest impact of all in Air Force’s 35-7 win over Army on Saturday. Morris motivated his teammates with a halftime rant inside the locker room, lighting a desperately needed fire under the Falcons. Dominated by an amped-up Army team in the first half, Air Force was a different squad after intermission. The Falcons...
