EDITORIAL COMMENT
And finally...
June 2-8 is National Sun Safety Week. Get in the habit of putting sunscreen on every day!
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light within.
