Guest column: Is this the country the founders envisioned?


Hillpoint VFW Post 3434 presented this year’s Voice of Democracy Essay Contest Award to Weston High School student Jessica Timm. She is seen here with Pastor Don Glanzer and Quartermaster LaVerne Gher. Timm received a certificate and $50 scholarship. The essay contest is open to high school students and featured the theme, Is This the Country the Founders Envisioned? Timm’s essay will advance to the district level. The Voice of Democracy program has been the VFW’s premier scholarship effort since 1947. Every year, nearly 57,000 students compete for more than $2 million in scholarships and incentives.

Stanek column: Has this friend overstayed its welcome? How to make Facebook a happier place

If you spend any time on social media (and are fed up with it), chances are you’ve heard of alternative pages to the Book of Faces. One is Parler, which I’m told is essentially a conservative Twitter. There are numerous others, like DeviantArt for creative folks, as well as other platforms for various interests.
