Do something to help a good cause

Good-hearted people do amazing things all the time to raise money for charities. They bowl, they dance, they walk, they rock in rocking chairs. You name it, they do it. And if they sacrifice a little dignity along the way, so be it. Being a little less stuffy and a …

It is the young who boldly serve

To the editor: Such letters are normally reserved for veteran-related dates, so I have somewhat strayed from this habitual expectation. At an early age I was somewhat fascinated in knowing the earth’s surface was 71% water. Sailing to distant shores piqued my interest but the sea did not back beckon. …

Baseball is for the love of the game

You know, I said to my wife a few weeks back, if we lived somewhere that had spring training going on, we would have been to a couple of ballgames by now. You know, she responded, we would also be warmer.

Slowing down is not a bad thing

News travels faster these days. Scandals are unveiled, reviled and forgotten in the blink of an eye. The jury is still out on whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing. But it’s real.

Time with our pets is never enough

Remote changed the conversation to music

It started with a click of the remote control. One second we were watching Purdue pull away from Illinois, the next we were watching a challenger on Iron Chef America trying to put away the insufferable Bobby Flay.

Mandy’s annual dinner is Friday

To the editor: Ten years. It's hard to believe that it's been that long ago we lost Mandy. Every year since, we as a family and community have raised money in her memory to help those in need. It is that time again.

Suburban sprawl missed something

Editor’s note: This column is being reprinted from Feb. 16, 2005. Jack had a love for his hometown and small towns in general. Unlike some of their larger, more intertwined brethren, they all have their own personalities.
