Three different age groups hunted down the candy-filled plastic eggs while also searching for the golden egg hidden in each section of the park for the three age groups. The golden eggs were then exchanged for baskets filled with toys and candy for the three lucky winners. The youngest winner was M...

To the Editor: Oh, the hypocrisy of it all.

In addition, they want to prevent Syrian refugees, which include babies, from entering the country without extreme vetting on top of already stringent vetting. However, Trump points his finger...
To the Editor, The 5th Congressional District has around 696,000 people, with about 324,000 working-age adults.

However, it takes around $150,000 for an ordinary middle-class family to live with the basics, without extravagances. The 5th District has about 74,000 people living below poverty, or 10.6 percent of the population. If we count just families with children under age 5, the percentage for those families l...

Much happens around Easter. Adults hide eggs, and children hunt passionately for them and the candy they hold inside. People spend significant amounts of money on that candy, as well as other gifts that may or may not fit in Easter baskets. At some malls, children can even sit on the fabled Easter bunny’s lap to tell him what they want for Easter. Much is also written about Easter. Some atheists write disparagingly against those who would even consider celebrating Easter. O...
