Recent Editorial Count your blessings, remember your tragediesOctober 11, 2012You wonder why everyone is acting so normal.You drive to work and there are other people driving to work who don’t seem to care.Store owners are getting ready for the day. Someone is jogging. Someone else is honking at someone who didn’t notice the light is green.
Badger grad co-produces hit movieOctober 04, 2012You shouldn’t see “End of Watch” just because it’s co-produced by a 2001 Badger High School grad Alex Ott.You should see it, because it’s a darn good movie.I first heard of “End of Watch” a few weeks ago when Alex’s mother, Linda, came into the office.
A night for the birdsBut the guests of honor decided not to comeSeptember 27, 2012I envisioned a scene from “The Birds.”As I walked to the Geneva Lake Museum for the Chimney Swift event last Thursday night, I half expected a few winged creatures perched ominously on telephone wires like they did in Alfred Hitchcock’s movie.Not so.

Mr. Feeney's lesson is easy to write about, hard to liveAugust 30, 2012When I got divorced five years ago and moved to Lake Geneva, I wanted to live simply.I brought along a dozen books, bought a used TV from a friend for $25 and took only a few pieces of furniture from the house I was leaving behind..For awhile, I lived a measured life. I used the library frequently. I purchased the most minimal cable TV package available. It had only 18 channels, but it didn’t matter because my $25 TV set only went up to 13 channels anyway. I bought furniture at rummage sales.
Additions, corrections, triviaAugust 23, 2012For a long time, we’ve published generic arrest reports.They usually went something like: “A male subject was arrested for shoplifting at Target.”That wasn’t very informative. Besides “subject” is police jargon.
