Worthy to Print Column | No One Has a Happy Memorial Day

Since Memorial Day is coming soon, I thought perhaps we might write a few words about why we have Memorial Day and whoĀ benefits from the holiday. It isn’t just the military that stands tall on this day. I know lots of folks that have...

Window on the World Column | My Mapping Menu

Lucy Jensen

Worthy to Print Column | Life Lessons

George Worthy
It’s kind of strange to start a column like that, but I have been struck with a book I have been reading and I haven’t even finished the first chapter. It’s called ā€œHillbilly Elegy,ā€ by J.D. Vance. This is the guy the Republicans have...

Worthy to Print Column | Pants on Fire

Liar, liar, pants on fire! Have you ever heard those biting words as a child? Maybe it was just a schoolyard taunt by someone you didn’t get along with. Perhaps it was a case of ā€œThe dog ate my homework.ā€ And your teacher was...
