MY PERSPECTIVE, Gary Damron

We often see that unlikely people are used in spite of failures because of their trust in God and His faithfulness. Adam and Eve in the Garden sinned, but even then God had a plan of reconciliation in mind. He prophetically pronounced curses: enmity between the serpent and Eve, hatred and hostility between her seed and his. From then on, Satan has sought to injure us, but eventually “the seed of woman” will crush him.

He probably never knew it, but around the newspaper office throughout the years we referred to Don Witzke as “Smilin’ Don.”

Back when we used to have to build a lot more real estate ads than we do today, Don’s ad was a regular, and a friend of mine handled his account.

Mike sold the ads, and I built them, and we were always part of the skeleton crew that worked on Saturdays.

GUEST COLUMN, David Dorsey, Kansas Policy Institute

With the Federal Reserve recently cutting its federal funds rate target by 50 basis points to a range of 4.75 percent to 5 percent, Kansas must reassess its economic policies to prepare for the challenges ahead. Lower interest rates may offer short-term relief by reducing borrowing costs, but the continued risk of inflation demands long-term reforms. Kansas can withstand the economic uncertainty created by the Fed by state policymakers taking proactive steps to reform taxes, reduce spending, and deregulate to improve economic freedom and opportunity.

THE POSTSCRIPT, Carrie Classon

My husband, Peter, had never had a cat before we adopted Felix, and Felix is taking full advantage of this.

Peter didn’t know, for instance, that cats require tuna, right out of the can, every night at precisely 8:30 p.m. — until Felix informed him. Peter did not know that he was not permitted to be late, nor was he allowed to run out of tuna. Felix has a firm no-substitutions policy. Peter now understands this.
