  • The unintended effects of ‘reform’

    If you think you’re seeing more negative campaign ads this year, it’s not just you. 2010 is shaping up to be an all-time high — or low — for negative campaigning.

    Nine Evergreen-area churches will host an event for youths that is being called The Gathering, and it will be the first major event at the new community center in Evergreen called The Place.

    — 26 total yards.

    — One first down.

    — Four turnovers, all in the second quarter.
