Letter to the Editor | Join the Fight Against Unjust Detention and Deportation

To the Editor: We’re saying ā€œNO!ā€ NO to the unlawful and cruel detention and deportation of our hard-working neighbors whose only crime was pursuing the American dream. The majority of ICE targets are hard-working contributors to the local economy and society. What is being unleashed on all...

Window on the World Column | Fit for a King

Lucy Jensen
ā€œYours is the last dad,ā€ she stated emphatically. Yes. All my friends’ dads have passed away. Of our generation, there is one mother and one father remaining on the planet and then we will be the top generation. That is a rather sobering thought. On...

Steve Wilson
We’ll get to the title of this week’s column, kinda, but first I offer up mention of a television program both to conjure a memory in the likeminded and to inform a younger readership; if one exists. When I was a kid laying on a...
