Window on the World Column | Best Nurse Ever

From a very young age, my baby girl had talked about going into nursing. When her auntie suggested that, maybe, vet school might be more up her alley, she responded that she could never work with animals; she loved them too much. It was shortly...

Worthy to Print Column | Fireworks Are Not Toys

You know I like to start off with a nice story about someone local or something good that has happened here in Gonzales or South County. I can’t do that this week because of some reprobates that don’t understand that firecrackers and cherry bombs...

Worthy to Print Column | Bringing Our Troops Home

I haven’t tried to hide the fact that I have no admiration for our present President. I could just sit here and write down all the ways he has let us down as a nation. However, I’m not going to do that today because...

Letter to the Editor | King Jr. Taught Character

Worthy to Print Column | Tolerance

George Worthy
What a morning! I have been watching a series of videos on my computer that have given me some things to ponder over. I have thought that it was important to share, but haven’t had the time to do so. You know how you...

Window on the World Column | In the Bleak Midwinter

Lucy Jensen
About this time of year — February blending into March — I can get really sick and tired of winter. Folks back home might have a chortle at that; because, yeah, I know, we don’t really have ā€œwinterā€ per se in our neck of...

Window on the World Column: Hope Is Not Canceled

Friends of mine in England had so been looking forward to their promised Christmas at the tail end of these long and tiresome months. After a long, brutal year of Covid-cancellations, they had been guaranteed a slice of merriment and celebration over Christmas. A...
