I have never been a very creative person. I do not do crafts or artwork that require drawing or painting, even though I have tried. It all comes out abstract. In elementary school, I had an art teacher that was more interested in the final product than the process and I never developed an interest in art.

I recently had the opportunity to welcome the Encampment K-12 School 3rd grade class at the Saratoga Sun office and I can’t speak highly enough of these young students.

Thank you for the invitation to submit opinions in last week’s paper. Appropriate discussion during the political decisions should be part of every voter’s day.

Why can’t it be available for free to the community?

A few weeks ago I wrote that words matter, referring to verbal words, and this week, as we observe National Newspaper Week I am going to discuss other words that matter — printed words in newspapers.

This year’s theme is Tell Our Stories, meaning for us newspaper folk to tell why we got into this business and for me the theme says it all. That’s why I do this — to tell our stories.
