Window on the World Column | Joining Other Olympians at the Pool

Lucy Jensen
ā€œI want that body!ā€ I said to the husband. We were watching the Olympic Swim Trials. Broad shoulders, muscles, I love it! It’s that time of year when people are stripping down, displaying their body-beautiful to the world, heading to the ocean or a...

Funny Papers Again Column | School Daze… in Two-Part Harmony

Window on the World Column | Love Is All That Matters

George Worthy
I have written before about why I believe in Santa Claus. Perhaps more than you want to read, but there are many reasons I love this time of the year. The whole idea that we greet each other with a smile, even if it’s...

Funny Papers Again Column | Some Rants and Raves Both Good and Bad

Steve Wilson
I often tell people how difficult it can be to put 1,000 words together every week with the expectation those words will somehow make sense and in so doing entertain readers for a few minutes. I tell people this because it is easy to...

Letter to the Editor | Small Acts of Kindness

To the Editor: Last week I wrote a guest column on the Western Flyer, the legendary boat that took John Steinbeck and Doc Ricketts to the sea of Cortez in 1940. A reader pointed out it wasn’t all about community, that Carol Steinbeck helped a great...
