Dear Heloise: Of all the places in San Antonio to get an oil change, I happened to pull into the one that had found a tiny, black NEWBORN KITTEN that morning. He couldn't have been more than 2 or 3 days old. An abscess had formed on his neck, and I knew a feral mother cat would not waste her ...

I think it was back in July when President Donald Trump, in a tweet, again called himself a “stable genius.” Well, I couldn’t understand what he meant. Then, just the other day, it came to me: He is the greatest ever at cleaning horse stalls. Keep on shoveling it, Donny.

A few days ago, the Opinion page featured an editorial about respecting snow plow drivers. We do need to give them room to do their job. If we don’t, there could be more incidents like the Weather Channel showed this week. A stupid driver tried to pass a snow plow and ended up going off ...
The Crystal Falls City Council accepted a bid of $161,000 to be paid on a four-year land contract for the sale of the Crystal View Golf Course. I was in attendance at the Crystal Falls City Council meeting on Oct. 14. Dawn Margoni of Wild Rivers Realty stated that she had received two ...

I am a Christian who is offended by all the ghoulish figurines and other hellish decorations put on display in public places, in recognition of the devil’s holiday. I find it obnoxious to walk past a towering symbol of evil to my groceries. I would like to see those hideous things ...
We hear a lot about “shop local.” We also know there are some things you cannot get local, so you have to go out of the area. There are some medical reasons, for example, to go outside of the area. If you are going south of Green Bay, don’t fill your gas tank in Iron Mountain. ...
