Guest Column | Volunteerism Helps Stitch Together the Fabric That Binds the World

Rena Salamacha
ā€œLife’s most persistent and urgent question is, ā€˜What are you doing for others?ā€™ā€ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., spoke these profound words to an audience in Montgomery, Ala., back in 1957 — and they still ring true today. We all have the power to...

Funny Papers Again Column | Youngsters on Stage and Field Always a Welcome Sight

I was very pleased with myself after hammering out a column well before the deadline with only one more proofreading before I sent it off to Ryan well in time for him to do his magic to make it ready for Wednesday publication. It...

Worthy to Print Column | Time for Reflection

You knew it was going to happen. What’s that? You didn’t know. Well, let me tell you it’s true! Last week I got on my soapbox about taxes, and since it’s April, why not continue my rant.Ā  Instead of working on helping ā€œWe the People,ā€...

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...

Worthy to Print Column | God Bless America

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...
