Worthy to Print Column: License laws

It looks like we may get a few reprieves from our SIP (shelter in place). Since March 17 we have had to wear masks, stay in the house and not congregate. Walking on the beach or even in your own neighborhood has had severe...

Window on the World Column: Waving across the valley
