Lucy Jensen
ā€œTake care of yourself!ā€ they rant. ā€œDiet and exercise, exercise and diet.ā€ Yes, we all know about that. Some of us consistently live by excellent habits, others less so. I’ve always loved to swim and walk — that’s my idea of exercise — and...

Worthy to Print Column | Dog Tales

George Worthy

Guest Column | Goodwill Central Coast Helps Remove Obstacles to Employment

Goodwill has celebrated the power of work since it formed in Boston back in 1919. The nonprofit’s founder Rev. Edgar J. Helms had a simple idea — fight poverty not with charity, but with trade skills — and provide a chance for the poor...
