Hi! My name is Luna and I am a gray and white female kitty, about 8 months old. I have beautiful long, silky fur and a really cute pink nose. I like to be held and loved and I also like to play and be with people. My brother, Sam, is here, too. He looks a lot like me but …

I was extremely lucky to have a very good assignment when I served in Vietnam in 1966. It was the one conflict when those who served their country were not welcomed home with the kudos they deserved. Since that time, our veterans have been shown the respect and the thanks that those who put their lives on the line deserve …

Hello. My name is Sue-Robbie. That’s a long name for a little kitty. I am a gray and white female short-hair cat, about 1-1/2 years old. I’m kind of shy but it doesn’t take long for me to warm up and come to you. I think some of the dogs barking kind of scare me. I like to be patted …

Last week’s column focused on those first responders from the Three Rivers Fire Department, Station Number Two. I failed to mention the volunteer firefighters, who are called upon whenever the need arises. An example might be whenever a major accident or fire occurs and the four firefighters on duty are needed to respond, which would leave no one at the …

Are we losing our ability to have conversations? Is the art of conversation becoming a lost art, in itself?

Whether we want to admit it or not, we all have at least one hero. Someone that we admire, respect, and hold a little higher than other people we know. I heard a Medal of Honor recipient say that there are people who regard him as a hero because of the act that made it possible for him to receive …

Hi! My name is Charlie and I am a male tricolor Aussie mix. I’m about 5 years old but I look much younger and, as you can see, I have some pretty adorable floppy ears. I have been house-trained and am already neutered. I really like to be around people and will even follow you around to be with you. …

Welcome to 2016, the start of a new year and an opportunity to start everything out fresh. Let’s try to leave the negative things from last year in the history books and keep a positive attitude to what lies ahead of us. We ended 2015 with a reminder that we are now in the winter season. Gone for a few …

Dear 2015, After 365 days, it is time to say farewell to you. So many things happened this past year. Not just in my life, but in the lives of my family, friends and everyone else whose lives were touched by you. It is hard to comprehend all that has transpired over the past 12 months. Some things we wish …
