Dear Editor, Thank you for the wonderful article on the local students who attended the March for Life in Washington D.C. (“Students pass life message at march,” Feb. 1).

Words taken out of context, reader says Dear Editor, I want to thank the City Council for not appointing Cory Johnston to any committees (“Activist sidelined on committees,” Jan. 25). Cory puts heart and soul, along with many hours of research, into any task. This will free up all that time for him to complete […]
Dear Editor, Have you made your News Years resolution yet? Why not volunteer? Why volunteer?

New Happy Year! Or, if you be from Europe, Good New Year. Or, elsewhere in your own language, Happy New Year! May this be the year your dreams come true. For many 2016 was a new beginning, for others it had a lousy ending. For most of us it was somewhere in between. It was […]
