Guest Column | Letā€™s Move District 18 into the Future with Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren

The vast majority of American politicians are in the business of kicking the can down the road, with one notable exception: Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren. I know ā€œkicking the can down the roadā€ is an old clichĆ© used to reference the arms race, federal budget, childcare,...

Funny Papers Again Column | A Digest of Abridged Subjects

Steve Wilson
The following were subjects for full columns, columns I now know will, to use an archaic adage, never see the light of day. The research of these subjects runs to dozens if not scores of hours and each would use up the 1,000-word limit;...

Worthy to Print Column | Owning a Dog

I donā€™t know if other writers run into the same problems that I do. I have to find a thousand words to contribute to this paper every week, so I am constantly looking for a hint of something that you might find interesting enough...

Worthy to Print Column | I Am What I Am and Thatā€™s All That I Am

George Worthy
I suppose that today I should write something about how messed up our government is, but I think that would be too easy. There is no use in restating my thoughts about how miserable it is being run right now. If you read anything...

Window on the World Column | The Olden Days of Newsies ā€” Part I

Lucy Jensen
The day I started work at the newspaper was Halloween 1991. I remember that day so well, because the whole building was decorated in pumpkins and ghouls and all the staff were dressed up in elaborate outfits. Candy was on every desk ā€” it...

Funny Papers Again Column | ā€˜For a Better World, What Would You Change?ā€™

Steve Wilson
If I were a cleverer wordsmith, I am sure I could come up with the right phrase, or adage, to convey how a bad thing can turn into a good thing; how a misstep may lead to a better path. It is possible Iā€™ll...
