Worthy to Print Column | A Mother’s Love

This is a story I wrote 20 two years ago. I wrote it to honor my mother on Mother’s Day. She didn’t know I would do this and probably would have asked me not to write it, but it was a gift that came...

Guest Column | Let’s Remain Vigilant, But Don’t Neglect Your Health

Even as Covid-19 vaccinations roll out across the country, the daily threat from this virus remains — especially in rural areas such as South Monterey County. We all need to remain vigilant, with a strict adherence to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)...

Window on the World Column | Boy Town

Lucy Jensen
It started off as a nice offer from the husband. ā€œHe can come and stay with us for a while!ā€ We were talking about our friend’s 21-year-old son. They live in the U.K. I never thought it would happen, really didn’t. ā€œWhat a nice...

Worthy to Print Column | Happy Birthday to Me

It appears as though His Highness has granted me another trip around the sun. I have a lot of trips at this point in my life. That’s OK though. As long as I’m here as long as Betty White, who shares a birthdate with...

Worthy to Print Column | Fly Your Flag Proudly

WOW! What a great couple of days.Ā Did you get enough to eat? I’ll admit that since gluttony is a sin, I’ll tell you that I didn’t eat that much, but I won’t be eating any big meals for a couple of days. What makes...

Letter to the Editor | Restoring the Balance

To the Editor: Thanks for bringing Steve Wilson back to your pages. I found his column about words in last week’s edition creative, thought-provoking and thoroughly enjoyable. In contrast, your other contributing columnist’s whining about what he deems unfair felt like its complete antithesis. Closing with...

Worthy to Print Column | Got Stuff — and More Stuff

George Worthy
I woke up this morning and I tripped over my camera gear. I’m sure God will forgive me for the words I muttered out loud. Lorraine doesn’t like clutter, but sometimes we leave things in the wrong place. I keep telling myself I’m going...

Worthy to Print Column | Nothing in Life Comes Easy

I usually awake on a Monday morning and see what is going on in my life. This morning I got bad news on my phone. One of my best friends’ mom died last night. She chose, if that’s possible, to die on the anniversary...

Worthy to Print Column | One Man’s Junk Is Another Man’s Treasure

George Worthy
I spent most of the day on Saturday cleaning out my garage, and I don’t know if I will finish before the weekend is over. Funny how I keep watching the detritus get taller and taller. I keep telling myself that I will be...

Window on the World Column | The Newborn

ā€œWhy don’t we just adopt older dogs from now on. Let’s make the end of their lives the best ever!ā€ We were all set. No more puppies, no toddlers with four legs. Our pack of near golden oldies (truthfully, more black-and-white than golden) —...
