I am writing this “Moos” column by candlelight Sunday night since our hydro was out for the second time that day. We certainly saw some crazy thunderstorm activity over the weekend. Luckily, we seemed to be on the edge of the hail earlier Sunday and I drove as fast as […]
Facebook and Twitter were alive with photos and memories of dads on Sunday. I didn’t post anything, but the number of memories of fathers got me to thinking about the impact my father had on my life. I remember a saying he often used: “If everyone is thinking and saying […]
I was thinking of heroes the other day—heroes whom I admired while I was in my “impressionable years.” I’m still impressionable so while I was watching the eulogies for the passing of Muhammad Ali and felt the ache at the loss of Gordie Howe, and the reminder that time marches […]

Andrew Hallikas Dear editor: Yes, Jim, “to gain respect you have to respect others!” I have always found you to be a reasonable and fair individual; one who did his research and homework. I would think these are important qualities in a newspaper publisher. As the publisher of the sole […]
Matt Soprovich Dear editor: I would be remiss if I did not take issue or offer response to the recent slanted, biased, steaming load of rubbish and drivel thinly veiled as “journalism” in last week’s edition of From the Publisher’s Pen (“You Must Respect Others,” June 15). In his column, […]
