Fear and Loathing column by Chris Graham [email protected] The gander I took at today’s News Virginian, which featured a story on campaign contributions listed in last week’s local city-council finance reports, reminded me that I hadn’t done my own survey of big-money donors. Keep in mind that this list isn’t exhaustive. For example, names don’t…

Item by Chris Graham [email protected] A pair of Waynesboro Generals were among five Valley League players honored as players of the week Tuesday. Tennessee Tech lefty Adam Liberatore picked up two wins in two starts last week – giving up no runs and six hits in 13 1/3 innings and posting 18 strikeouts. Liberatore is…

Fear and Loathing in Waynesboro column by Chris Graham [email protected] Maybe this is an attempt on my part to prove that I do my homework, most of the time, on the stories that I write.

Fear and Loathing in Waynesboro column by Chris Graham [email protected] One more rant on the Reo Hatfield-China deal, and then I promise to stop. (For this week. It’s Friday, so it’s not much of a promise, I know.) Reo Distribution’s director of global logistics, Tom Sikes, had something interesting to say on NBC-29 the other…

Fear and Loathing in Waynesboro column by Chris Graham [email protected] So you know how we’re cutting services left and right because the supposed conservatives who will be taking over city council at the end of the month have something that they call a philosophy, right?

Story by Chris Graham [email protected] It’s not like it wasn’t used. The Waynesboro public-works department recorded 25,968 visits to the city’s bulk-refuse collection center last year.
