Adventure Abounds Column: Playing Fowl

Getting an oddball pet can be a great motivator, especially when it provides food for you as well as bug control and an endless supply of fertilizer for the garden. I never thought I’d be one to raise a flock of fowl ever again in...

Funny Papers Again Column | Keeping up the Image and Miscellaneous Bits of Pieces

Steve Wilson
It has been mentioned before how I always felt, and had support of some readers, that the photo that accompanied this column just was not how I appear to the world. I wore a mustache without beard for only about five weeks and with...

Window on the World Column | Bad Days, a New Book and Sailing Around the World

Lucy Jensen
It was simply one of those days. A wake-up call that didn’t involve coffee or soft music, let alone the sound of little birds singing to herald the dawning of a new day. ā€œThis is Bank of America. We have reason to believe that...

Funny Papers Again Column | School Daze… in Two-Part Harmony

It is not uncommon that readers will occasionally offer nice comments about Funny Papers Again, and because I’m only good at speaking to people when they are an audience and I’m working from a script written by someone else, I usually find myself tongue...

Worthy to Print Column | Everywhere a Sign

Is it over? Can we come out yet? Have all the candidates finished telling us what we want or need or what we have to tithe to the campaign? What a long trip it has been from when they were persecuting Mr. Trump until...

Guest Column | King City’s Transformation: How a Year of Beautification Efforts Revitalized the Community

Karen Jernigan
The transformation of the appearance of King City in the last year has been nothing short of amazing, and I credit much of that to the yearly emphasis of ā€œbeautification.ā€ It was 32 years ago in 1992 that King City began the promotion of Beautification...

Guest Column | Gratitude Builds a Path Toward a Happier and Healthier Holiday

Each holiday season comes with high expectations for happy, carefree gatherings. It’s all too true, however, that once the calendar turns to November, feelings of sadness or anxiety can sometimes take hold. Beyond major depression or severe anxiety disorders (which require professional help), it’s common...
