- Under her wing: Parent writes book on developmental disabilities
- Lawrence resident Denise Gossage didn’t initially set out to write a book. Her recently published “Winging It” (available in local bookstores) evolved from years of keeping notes of meetings with doctors, teachers and therapists, and writing a personal journal about rearing a child on the autism spectrum.
- Legends of Pinewood Derby
- Until a couple of weeks ago, the Cubs Scout Pinewood Derby had remained a suburban legend to me.
- Love seen in spirit of ‘enough mind’

- No love lost on U.S. economy
- Pay attention carefully, but above all, pay attention quickly. This month we’re finally talking economics. Maybe that’s because this is the shortest month of the year. It’s also the month that includes Valentine’s Day, so full of romance and hope, and the release of the president’s federal budget proposal, so full of sobriety and despair.
