It might be time to “undress” the subject of golf course dress codes. Probably the most debatable parts of dress codes concern men’s socks and shorts.

One-sided relationship
DEAR ABBY: I am in a long-distance relationship. I live in Kansas; he’s in Michigan. Because we are 720 miles apart, phone calls, text messages and Skype are vital to the health of our relationship. I make it a priority to text or call “Good morning” or “Goodnight.” Unlike me, sometimes he’s consistent and sometimes […]

Recently, Kavanaugh wrote an opinion in which he took the position that delayed a decision on an immigrant teen’s abortion until she had a sponsor. Health care […]

The greatest contributions to humankind have always come from the poorest among us. Jesus, Socrates, Mozart, Beethoven, Lincoln, Gandhi all came from among the poor.

Taking my daily exercise routine in Rumford, I was biking along when a clean-cut young man in a pickup truck called out to me from where he was parked. I turned around, went back and asked if he […]
