Window on the World Column | Take Care of Yourself

Lucy Jensen
ā€œTake care of yourself!ā€ they rant. ā€œDiet and exercise, exercise and diet.ā€ Yes, we all know about that. Some of us consistently live by excellent habits, others less so. I’ve always loved to swim and walk — that’s my idea of exercise — and...

Funny Papers Again Column | Monday Countdown: 6 Hrs. 39 Min. To Deadline

The past couple of weeks were filled with One Thing or Another and now I find myself in a predicament of words, one thousand of them to be exact. This happens to all of us once in a while, and whether it is This...

Worthy to Print Column | God Bless America

So here we are again, another week of political intrigue. The State of California or maybe the Federal Government has come up with another tax. I can’t tell you how much this tax is going to be, but you can be sure that the...

Letter to the Editor | Silent Warriors

To the Editor: Today I read about an upcoming ceremony for veterans who served in Vietnam. Unlike other military members in previous wars, they were not given a hero’s welcome upon their return. Now, 50 years after their homecoming, the Vietnam War Commemoration is honoring veterans with...

Window on the World Column | So Much Love

Lucy Jensen
Anybody want a humongous house for 12 people, three nights in Bozeman, Mont.? A 49ers game with parking for four (oh, yes please … wait. I was outbid). How about a seven-day stay in Copper Mountain, Co.? A 48-hour wild pig hunt, maybe, or...

Funny Papers Again Column | The Last Goodbye Is the Hardest

When I began writing this week’s column I had it in my mind, and in my notes, to cover high school stage productions, local law armory and a couple other short pieces. But, as the old saying goes, ā€œstuff happensā€ (paraphrased for publication) and...

Worthy to Print Column | Shining My Shoes

When you meet someone for the first time, do you ever notice a person’s shoes or boots? I always do. Not just a man’s footwear, but women’s shoes and boots too! In my family we polished our shoes because we didn’t get a lot...

Guest Column | Diabetes Risk Is Higher in Rural Communities

Rena Salamacha
For members of previous generations, a ā€œwakeup callā€ meant having a hotel employee ring their room at a certain time to rouse them from bed. Today the term is used when we’ve been doing something self destructive for some time (perhaps without realizing it)...

Window on the World Column | The Move to Montana

Lucy Jensen
ā€œWe’ll be moving to Montana,ā€ she said matter of fact. ā€œHow exciting, darling!ā€ I expressed and, yes, it would be exciting for them. For me too, as I would have a new place to visit. I recall so clearly, when I moved to the Central...

Funny Papers Again Column | Seniors: Come Learn, Dine, Sing, Dance!

I am a senior citizen. There is no getting around that, no matter how much I attempt to mitigate the fact. I know this because of what society tells me with progressive programs, private sector directives and legislations starting with age 55 years when...
