Funny Papers Again Column | Celebrity Sightings in South County

One of the favorite questions posted on social media is ā€œWho is the most famous person you have ever met?ā€; or some derivative thereof. Well, I have met many in my life, probably more than my share compared to the average life, but that’s...

Worthy to Print Column | Shining My Shoes

When you meet someone for the first time, do you ever notice a person’s shoes or boots? I always do. Not just a man’s footwear, but women’s shoes and boots too! In my family we polished our shoes because we didn’t get a lot...

Lucy Jensen
