4 ways to teach your children to manage money

March is a favorite time to fly kites. A lot of attention in kite building is spent on the fabric, and frame and even the tail. But the kite string is the most important part in making a kite fly. Without a kite string to hold the kite steady, a kite will be blown away by the wind or, more likely, never get off the ground.

Ariail for March 23, 2015

Noted and passed - March 23, 2015

• Friday, we reported a grand jury finally indicted 22-year-old Stephen Ross Kelly for his alleged kidnapping, sexual assault and murder of Briana Rabon. We say "finally indicted" because Briana was killed more than a year ago.
