SAINTS PERSPECTIVE, SCCC President Brad Bennett Americans turned our clocks forward on Sunday, but I didn’t think much about it: my family left last Thursday for a ski trip. When I woke up at 6 a.m. to head to the office for the work week, I thought that I had slept in — until midmorning,...
LETTER TO THE EDITOR, Reita Isaacs, Liberal Sadly, we were given another example of who the real Joe Biden is in public. When the helicopter door opened, he got up from a chair and made it down the stairs in a strong wind, with Dr. Jill close behind him. He tried to put his jacket on, and...
