Steve Wilson
Because yesterday, Tuesday, March 19, was the Equinox, that happily makes this morning the first day of Spring and a long-established ritual assigned to this time of year is Spring Cleaning. In keeping with this What-Stays-What-Goes protocol, I have scrapped all my scraps. There...

Our volunteers within Mee Memorial Healthcare System never cease to amaze me. They lend their time, their talent...

Guest Column | Beautification Week 2025: Celebrating King City’s Ongoing Transformation and Community Pride

Karen Jernigan
If someone had told me in 1977 that King City would look like it does today, I would have found that unbelievable. But indeed in 48 years I have witnessed in King City an amazing transformation, and I have to say that I am...

Funny Papers Again Column | What Devotion Requires the Last Full Measure?

This week’s column will be, of necessity and choice, a bit shorter in length than normal. Since I was a little boy raised in the Eisenhower Generation I have, as have many others of my generation, seen War movies from World War I (the...
