Tony’s Thoughts: Thanks for following through, PVUSD

I’d like to give a big thanks to the Pajaro Valley Unified School District and its board of trustees for moving forward with the much-needed renovation of Watsonville High School’s stadium. On Wednesday, the trustees approved a contract for the design of the stadium...

God, guns and a confused nation

Rev. Robby Olson
The early Christian church, up until the conversion of Roman Emperor Constantine in 312 C.E., was by and large a pacifist religion. Christian, the noun, came from those outside the religion describing Jesus’ followers as people who were trying to be little-Christs or Christ-ians....

Response to Chávez scandal was knee-jerk reaction, points to wider plot This whole César Chávez deal is curious to say the least. A few weeks before this year’s holiday comes a New York Times story that Chávez, a half century ago, sexually abused several women...

I definitely want him to leave the Bond franchise on a good note — and we all know that “Spectre” was far from good — but I’d much rather see the 49-year-old chase interesting and wacky roles like Joe Bang the rest of his career.
