Happy birthday, Clyde! One of Western Colorado s musical icons is celebrating another trip around the sun. Let s catch up with the Clyde half of Grand Junction s Ralph N Clyde.
I ve never known a world without Clyde Jorgensen. He was bouncing me on his knee back in 1970. Hey, that rhymes. In any event, everybody in Grand Junction knows Clyde Jorgensen and his brother Ralph Smith.
Why Different Last Names?
Let s take this opportunity to clear something up. Somewhere around 1993 I finally had to ask Clyde a question which had been bugging me. If he and Ralph are brothers, why do they have different last names? Are they half brothers? As it turns out, they are full brothers. According to Clyde, his original last name was Smith. When their mother remarried, Clyde chose to take his stepdad s last name.
Ralph Smith resigns from Muncie City Council

Maysville school board in deadlock with teachers union over contracts
View Comments
MAYSVILLE - Federal mediation awaits the Maysville Local Schools after board members declared impasse during contract negotiations with the teachers union. We re bargaining for fair and sustainable salaries, improved working conditions and better learning opportunities for our students, Maysville Education Association (MEA) President Myra Warne said.
A major point of contention between the board and MEA lies with proposed economic packages. A concern that we have as we move forward to negotiate an economic package, if you will, is that this school year alone we ve lost more than 8 percent of our teaching staff, and we re quite concerned that, among other things, the fact that our pay lags the state average by $8,000, Warne explained.
