Are you looking for a safe way to have fun and contribute to the new Oregon Public Library? Check out the two scavenger hunts posted on the library’s website at oregonpubliclibrary.org.

The Oregon Library is a valuable asset to our community and deserves our support. Although many of the fundraising events so far, have had to be cancelled due to Covid-19, there is one that is still happening right now.

My grandparents were French-Algerian Jews who moved to nearby Morocco in the late 1930’s to seek better economic opportunities. They decided to stay there when Mohammed V, then king of Morocco, vowed to protect members of the Jewish community during WW2. Hence, I grew up in a household where…

I can’t imagine what else could occur over the next 21 weeks which might get in the way of our ability to vote in August’s Partisan Primary (Aug. 11) or November’s General and Presidential Election (Nov. 3).

It is entirely appropriate that the Oregon Police Department joined police departments elsewhere in Dane County in condemning the Minneapolis policeman who killed George Floyd and his fellow officers who did nothing to stop it.

We can make America great by recognizing that tolerance and diversity, not demagoguery and divisiveness are the source of our strength as a nation…

The 2020 Presidential Election Nov. 3 is only 151 days from June 3.

I really tire of hearing President Donald Trump telling us how the economy is going to come roaring back from the collapse caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Frankly, the economy wasn’t doing that great before 20.5 million jobs were lost in April.

I am sure you are all scared of what might be coming for you with coronavirus. That’s not a bad response to a serious threat. I offer some thoughts gleaned from a long life of ups and downs.

I’m casting my vote for Judge Jill Karofsky for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and I urge you to do the same.
