In 1973, the Lions Clubs International Foundation established...

Beware — on March 12, we must suffer through the time change again. With all the trivial things being debated these days, why hasn’t this serious matter ever been brought up? If you agree with me concerning this, then plaster the following message all over the social media. Abolish the time change. Institute one time year around in all 50 states. The time change deregulates the methodical system in both humans and animals. The time change does no substantial good at all, and its existence has been forced up on all of us for...

Editor, Tolerance: sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one’s own. Webster’s definition. We hear endlessly today about tolerance, but too often that means tolerance according to one’s own definition. Is tolerance displayed when one’s principled (as opposed to bigoted) position is subjected to public shaming through a letter to the editor?

I've often expressed about how much I love my job. And it's not just lip service. Or, in my case, writing service. It's always true. Sure, like everyone else, in every other profession, I have my bad days. In the immortal words of Rocky Balboa "Life ain't all sunshine and roses." But there comes a point, even on my worst of days, when I remember just how lucky I am, and how fortunate I am to do what I do. And last Thursday night in the Armory Gymnasium was one of those...
