Marg-Ins-Getting Into The Game
So there's no way to deny it, I am definitely a sports fan(atic).
Out Of Bounds – Preparing For The Zombie Apocalypse
I could watch Brad Pitt solve a crossword puzzle for three hours.
Still Matters - Love Matters
May always makes me think of Mother's Day and flowers. And this year we added a graduation, planning for a wedding in June, and everything else in between.
EDITORIAL – Attention Oakdale – All Units: 11-99
As I write this, a named suspect wanted for attempted murder is on-the-lam, in a city that doesn't have any detectives to investigate its cases.
Attention Oakdale – All Units: 11-99
As I write this, a named suspect wanted for attempted murder is on-the-lam in a city that doesn't have any detectives to investigate its cases.
Marg-Ins – In With The New
Many of our readers may recall the little yellow VW bug that became former Riverbank News editor John Branch's 'signature' vehicle. We laughed (mostly with him) at the trademark jet engine sound when he fired the bug up, shared our concern when one of the wheels literally fell off as he was turning the corner to come to the Oakdale office – luckily he was close enough to park with three wheels intact – and celebrated with him when the bug went to storage and a newer, more reliable vehicle emerged.
Stuff ‘N Nonsense - Adjusting To The Dream Job
Who knew there would be an adjustment period to living the dream? I certainly didn't. Many of you know I published my first book in December 2006 and it's been a dream of mine for longer than I can remember to support myself solely on my fiction writing income. After many years of incredibly hard work, I managed to make that dream a reality and I left my post at The Leader to live the dream.
RICH IN THOUGHT -Toes In The Water, You Know The Rest
As I write this column, I am planning to be off work for an ROTC assignment.
Reporter’s Notebook – A Tainted Finish
Monday, April 15 did not start for me as it did my friend and running teammate Cathy McClelland or Oakdaleans Vanessa Walton and Tom Burchell, or Jesse Santana of Riverbank. I did not board a motor coach in my sneakers with a race bib pinned to the front of my shirt in anticipation of running the 117th Boston Marathon.
Marg-ins - No Fooling Around
No need to check the calendar and this isn't an April Fool's Day joke – I am just trying to get my column schedule back 'on track' after having been haphazard about it the last couple of months. I know one ran just last week, so forgive me for the back-to-backs.
Marg-Ins - Two Decades And Counting
Twenty years goes faster than you think. Trust me.
Marg-Ins - Love Lost … And Found
More than a week past deadline, I finally have taken a few deep breaths and will try to get this column written. Typically, the 'Marg-Ins' column appears the first Wednesday of the month, which means it is running a week later than normal this time.
Rich In Thought – All The X’s, L’s, V’s And I’s
The Super Bowl Season is upon us as many of us gather for what is as close to an American holiday as it can get.
Still Matters – The New Girl
Hello, Escalon, Oakdale, and Riverbank. I am the new girl at the Oakdale Leader office. You may have seen my name on a few different articles, pictures, or both in various issues. Or by now, you may have even met me in person.
Community Corner – What’s Growin’ On …
Happy New Year! We all survived the Mayan calendar apocalypse and the "Fiscal Cliff" – kind of started to remind me of the Y2K phenomenon 13 years ago.
