Guest Column | Volunteerism Helps Stitch Together the Fabric That Binds the World

Rena Salamacha
ā€œLife’s most persistent and urgent question is, ā€˜What are you doing for others?ā€™ā€ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., spoke these profound words to an audience in Montgomery, Ala., back in 1957 — and they still ring true today. We all have the power to...

Window on the World Column | Find Your Passion

Lucy Jensen
No matter how much you love your work, I have discovered that it is an even more wonderful thing to lead a fulfilling life if you also have passions that you adore, which are disconnected from your employment. Your work life should feed your...

Funny Papers Again Column | ā€˜One Ticket for Greenfield, Please.’ ā€˜ER, Which One?’

Steve Wilson
I don’t believe I am alone in thinking the last two Funny Papers Again columns were just not necessary. While like most citizens, I have personal positions regarding the present political atmosphere in America, but that does not mean I should use space in...

Window on the World Column | Joining Other Olympians at the Pool

Lucy Jensen
ā€œI want that body!ā€ I said to the husband. We were watching the Olympic Swim Trials. Broad shoulders, muscles, I love it! It’s that time of year when people are stripping down, displaying their body-beautiful to the world, heading to the ocean or a...

Worthy to Print Column | Finally!

George Worthy
For the readers who have been reading my thoughts for the past few years, you will be happy to know that my old ’56 Ford F-100 is finally on the road. Of course, it isn’t completely finished as I would like it to be...

Letter to the Editor | Working Together to Help Animals

To the Editor: SPCA Monterey County agrees that we need solutions to save stray animals (ā€œWe Need Solutions to Save Our Stray Animals,ā€ Aug. 10). Those answers are low-cost spay/neuter, adoptions, foster care, microchipping and compassionate shelters, rescue groups and animal control agencies working...

Window on the World Column: Glass Half Full

With the changing of the times and the lessening of the daylight, I must annually go on self-watch alert. There is something about darkness during the daytime that makes me, well, dark. I can get the gloomies very easily when the clocks fall back...

Worthy to Print Column | Happy New Year?

Well, 2020 is over. Let’s pray 2021 will be a much better year. It’s unfortunate, but this shall not be a memorable New Year. Is there something about this year that tickles your fancy? I didn’t think so. As I sat back in my...
