  • What is wrong with leaders in some of our schools?

    Randy Olson|May 4, 2023

    I recently read an article about someone predicting that all the COVID "precautions" unleashed in March/April 2020 would put humanity into a "death spiral" and every day it appears that is more and more true. What they wrote was a warning, and every prediction they gave has come true. I saw an article about a family who is suing their deceased child's public school for ignoring cyberbullying concerns, and it just backs up this idea of humanity being in a "death spiral" that was only sped up by the COVID precautions unleashed by governments and...

  • 'Back the Blue' is more than a slogan (OPINION)

    Randy Olson|Apr 20, 2023

    Bonanza Valley Voice publisher's column The phrase "Back the Blue" is more than just a slogan. It's more than something one can just latch into when it's convenient. "Back the Blue" is part of my family's life, day after day after day for numerous reasons. Small town police departments and rural sheriff's offices are not flush with staff to begin with, and when officers are pulled out of rotation either because they were killed, or they were involved in a shooting, it puts tremendous strain on...
