  • Writer's setting flits on the cusp of change

    Tim O Leary, Special to the Village News|Updated Aug 8, 2024

    It's times like these that I look to the Bible. It is 66 books crammed into one, and together they tell of life, love, loss, faith, deceit, weakness, strength, trust and lust. Ecclesiastes 3:4 says there is "A time to weep and a time to laugh. A time to mourn and a time to dance." Today's mental meanderings, kind readers, will keep us close to home – my little neighborhood to be precise. Big changes are afoot here. Once we were a cadre of kindred souls, four neighbors close i...

  • Hospitality

    Dr. Rick Koole, LifePointe Church|Updated Aug 8, 2024

    The summer after my freshman year in college, I traveled from Michigan to New Orleans with six other guys from our college to sell dictionaries door-to-door.

  • Cleaning up the Governor's mess

    Supervisor Jim Desmond, 5th District|Updated Aug 8, 2024

    Last week, Governor Newsom issued an executive order directing local cities and municipalities to clean up homeless encampments. While we can all agree with the words, this sudden directive feels like an attempt to deflect responsibility.
