ASHVILLE — Students enrolled in the Automotive Technology Career and Technical Education program at the Hewes Educational Center will have a new vehicle to help hone their skills as technicians. The Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES program was the recipient of a 2014 Ford Fiesta donated ...
Today, I am going to discuss something very close to my heart and very difficult to talk to any client about. As you all know, I work closely with canine cancer as it is one of my specializations. Most of the time, I handle the behavioral or homeopathic side of canine cancer (as the dog is undergoing medical treatments), but there are times when a pet parent decides not to treat the cancer medically. This could either mean the pet parent does not want her dog to live out his last days on anti-cancer medication or the cancer has simply gone too far. There’s no right or wrong ...
Even if you’ve been watching gavel-to-gavel television coverage of the Senate’s impeachment trial, there’s little you’ve been able to see beyond Chief Justice John Roberts and individuals talking at a lectern in front of a slab of busy marble. There’s no sight of the senators on the floor. This is unusual, as there are usually multiple cameras in the chamber during Senate proceedings. Normally, you’d see democracy in action, but not this time, when democracy is at stake. This is the Republican strategy, which is clear every time Majority Leader Mitch McConnell fails to ...
I have been teaching economics since 1967 — 40 years of it at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. During that interval, economic reality has not changed. Just as Galileo’s law about the independent influence of gravity on falling objects has not changed, neither have the fundamental principles of economics. Economics is fun and simple. It’s made complicated by some economics professors — fortunately, not by my colleagues at George Mason University. Let’s apply some simple tools of economics to reveal outright myths, lies and tricks. Who is punished by tariffs on ...
Attention readers: Mark Shields is off this week. Please enjoy the following column by Veronique De Rugy. The Tariff Man has done it again. President Donald Trump recently announced that he will expand import taxes on American consumers of auto parts, nails and other goods made in the United States with steel and aluminum. Apparently, untaxed imports of these metals put our national security at risk. Under the latest proclamation, some imports of products made with aluminum will be subject to an additional 10% tax, while some steel products will be hit with a 25% one. The decision ...
To get onstage at the last Democratic debate, a candidate had to have received contributions from at least 225,000 donors. That disqualified Mike Bloomberg. He has only one donor: himself. That rule sounded nice and democratic with a small “d,” but actually, it is a highly flawed way to measure a candidate’s ability to win a national election. The Democratic National Committee has wisely just removed that requirement from the next debate, scheduled for Feb. 19 in Nevada. This will almost certainly give Bloomberg a place at the podium in Las Vegas. All he has to do is reach 10 ...
