Window on the World | Sisterhood

We worked together at the Salinas newspaper. When I say, ā€œworked together,ā€ she was on the computer side of things and I worked in advertising and management; plus, it was a huge building. In other words, she fixed what I broke. We didn’t know each other really,...

Letter to the Editor | Time for Action

To the Editor: When are the Democrats in office going to grow a pair and speak out, get in front of a microphone, get on TV? Every day, Democrats should be talking about the lies, talking about Project 2025. Their messaging is terrible. When are...

I have always enjoyed words and how they are used, but as I have not kept up on the grammatical, I frankly admit to longer being able to accurately describe, or recognize in use, the dangling participle or the gerund, nor would I be...

Funny Papers Again Column | A Fading Miracle, an Outrage, and a Worthy Day

Steve Wilson
Have you ever been to Macy’s? I mean THE Macy’s, the flagship store on 34th Street on the island of Manhattan. A couple of decades ago, I had the opportunity to wander about New York City’s boroughs, all but Staten Island, and of course...

Letter to the Editor | No Indoor Dining, Not Yet

To the Editor: At the schools, we feed our students breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks and dinner. If it is not safe at McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell and Carl’s Jr. here in Greenfield and other cities in the county, then it is not safe in...
