A letter to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 43 years since his death
Dear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I first wrote a letter to you in 1998, 30 years after your death and explained where we were in society then. Now I am writing 43 years since your death on April 4, 2011. I decided a long time ago there should be something to mark April 4, 1968 (the day you were killed). I wrote in my letter to you before and have said it many times ...
Noted and passed
• Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, who never met a television camera he didn't like, didn't realize a microphone was turned on when he started dispensing advice to his Democratic colleagues on how to picture Republican policies as "extreme." Schumer's pointers give one indication of why everything is endlessly "spun" in Washington. Of course, it's not only Democrats who do this, as Republicans are just as guilty.

Why liberals love the birthers
Donald Trump has joined the "birthers," the odd movement that questions President Barack Obama's Hawaii birth certificate.

Sharing pigskin memories
One spring evening 50 years ago, Buddy Small hit a baseball that his friends and teammates can vividly recall. This home run is a standalone legend. Against Columbia High, at the old Legion Field next to Zemp Stadium, Buddy turned a fast ball into a towering drive that either brushed or cleared the lights in left field. Anything traveling that high and fast should have a stewardess handing out peanuts and Cokes.

Wife unsure of what to do about husband’s dementia
Dear Annie: I've been married to "Ned" for 25 years, and each year it seems to get worse. When we married, he told me I could do whatever I wanted with the house, but he never said I'd be the one paying.
Seniors reflect
I meet with a lot of groups and committees over the course of the year, and I think it's important for me to do so. One of my favorite groups is Student Cabinet, which is comprised of student government leaders from each of our high schools. We meet four times a year over lunch. What I love and value about students is that they don't hesitate to tell you what's ...
A matter of conscience:
In 1929, my family moved from Chesterfield County to a farm adjoining the farm of Donald Holland's parents in the Cassatt community. I was a year old at the time but before many years passed, Donald and I established a friendship lasting until Donald's passing in 2003.
