Madame Editor,

Diana Gordon's article this week (Two Birds with One Stone) about the bipartisan Farm Workforce Modernization Act seems a great opportunity for our country's gradual re-centering of attention to the common good. With its designation of Certified Agricultural Worker status, we'll even have an acronym (CAW) to crow about!

The Canadian Restaurant: Endings and new beginnings

Body

The sounds of laughter and plates clattering, and the smell of fresh-fried catfish overwhelm my senses as I enter the Canadian Restaurant. Waitresses with million-dollar smiles dart through ever-changing mazes of people and kids. My own children most likely provide the most challenging obstacles as they plow through the salad bar line, smiling and waving as if they own the place. I, the clucking mother hen, chase after them, settle them down, and chastise their rambunctious behavior, but not once does any customer, waitress, or staff member bat an eye.

Earlier that day, Evans verified that Joe (not pictured) and Charlotte Krodle are the new owners of the popular dining establishment. Jimmy Schafer beams at hearing the news.
