Window on the World Column | Remodeling My Attitude

I work with houses all the time — empty and full. ā€œIt’s much easier to sell if the house is empty,ā€ I hear myself say over and over to potential listing clients. No dealing with sellers and access; no having to climb over Aunt...

Worthy to Print Column | Choosing the Right Candidates

Another week in our beautiful town and another week closer to the election that will determine who is to lead our fair city for the next few years. I am a follower of all things political that is happening in our nation’s capitol. In...

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...

Guest Review | Hitman Foiled by Stage Hands!

Nearly naked knees collide beneath the covers as cops and bad guys wrestle repeatedly on a motel bed. Lovers, doughnuts and bagpipes are involved too! The comedy is nonstop in this play by Paul Smith Slade. Our Stage Hands are acknowledged masters of the...

Window on the World Column | Bad Days, a New Book and Sailing Around the World

Lucy Jensen
It was simply one of those days. A wake-up call that didn’t involve coffee or soft music, let alone the sound of little birds singing to herald the dawning of a new day. ā€œThis is Bank of America. We have reason to believe that...

Worthy to Print Column: Hot Enough for You?

Today is a day when my dad would greet everyone he met with the most common phrase in the farmers lexicon. ā€œHot enough for you?ā€ Actually, he didn’t say that very often. When you wake up over in the San Joaquin Valley, summer is...

Worthy to Print Column | Poking the Hornet’s Nest

Hello! How was your week? I found that there is way too much reporting about the war. What war? Yeah, that’s my opinion also. I guess if we are not to get into the mess that’s occurring over in Eastern Europe, there’s not much...
