Red Farmer To Race For Warsaw's ML Motorsports

In the words of Red Farmer, old age and treachery beat youth and agression. Such is life for Farmer, who still lives in the fast lane, or more appropriately, in the racing groove. Born in Nashville, Tenn.- and don't ask when because he won't say - Farmer later took residence in Hueytown, Ala., where he still lives today, and is considered by many to be the greatest race car driver on dirt. An original member of the famed Alabama Gang, which included brothers Bobby and Donnie Allison and later Davey Allison, Bobby's son, and Neil Bonnett, Farmer has nearly 800 career feature wins. He's been enshrined in a laundry list of Halls of Fame and in 1999 was named to NASCAR's list of 50 Greatest Drivers. While many professional athletes leave their sport in the prime of their careers, or attempt to come out of retirement, Farmer hasn't retired yet and drives with the same passion he did when he drove his first race in 1949.

Letters to the Editor 06-30-2006

- Signing Statements - Rice & Israel - Found Dog - Editor, Times-Union: Signing Statements Editor, Times-Union: An article and an editorial about Presidential Signing Statements have appeared recently in the Times-Union.Unfortunately, I doubt that too many people have heard of these statements before and I doubt that too many are concerned about them.Hopefully, this will change as congressional hearings are held. I heard an interview with some congressman who said he did not know what these statements were which indicates the rather obscure nature of the statements.
