Window on the World Column: Waving across the valley

I cannot remember the first time I met her and her lovely husband. It seems to me that we were friends from the minute I arrived in the valley about 19 years now, so it was a good while ago; and likely at a...

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...

Window on the World Column | Traveling Post-Covid

I cannot deny that the last several months have been a bit special for the small traveling public of which I was a member. Empty airports, reminiscent of the Tom Hanks movie, four seats per person in coach class and check-in desks where you...

Window on the World Column | The Dump Trailer

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...

Worthy to Print Column | We the People

George Worthy
Wow! Things are sure happening fast. By things I mean politics and the folks that claim that they are politicians. I just sat down to write my column this week and started getting a little concerned. I might point out that if you aren’t...

Window on the World Column | No Doubting the Universe

“No doubt the universe will unfold as it should,” I tell my husband (sort of citing my favorite poem “Desiderata”). This was after we returned home from our neighbor’s place up the hill. Most times you go to neighboring homes and receive tomatoes or...
