From the Publisher's Desk: Weekly Star is coming to your homes for 2 weeks

Surprise! Bet you weren't expecting me this week, but I wanted to tell you about a bonus for home subscribers to The Daily Star for the next two Fridays.

All home subscribers will receive a complimentary copy of The Weekly Star, our newest publication that I've mentioned in my columns.

We thought you might enjoy the unique columnists and features it has to offer. One of my favorites is the center spread of area events, including community-submitted photographs.

I encourage you to check it out and continue to send us your best shots of family, neighbors and community events that capture the heart and pulse of this great area.

On the second Friday, we will publish the names of outlets that carry The Weekly Star so you can continue to enjoy it free of charge.

It is our pleasure to continually progress with different products and services to better suit your needs, and we always welcome your input and feedback.

I would love to hear your thoughts, so if you get a second, drop me a line.

If you are anything like me, the nostalgia of clipping a photo or a child's name from the newspaper is special.

I know I have already started one for my family. I remember my mom doing the same, and the keepsake is memorable and irreplaceable.

Back in high school, some action shots of me hit The Daily Star sports pages. I certainly didn't look my best, but I remember the pictures, the honor I felt, and the razzing I took in school that same day!

Enough said. I hope you enjoy this special program, and as always, we appreciate your support and continued patronage.

  • Time for lawmakers who put needs of society first

    Richard Lugar, after six terms as a Republican senator -- known for his middle of the road rationality and his foreign policy finesse -- has been ousted by a Tea Party extremist backed by outside right-wing funding.

  • War not worth gambling with lives of soldiers

    Are you not tired of our war in Afghanistan? It had a point, once, after 9/11. Bush couldn't distinguish his myopic personal agendas from the nation's needs and let Osama escape, dropping the ball entirely, causing many deaths.

  • Titanic was a microcosm of U.S. economic disparity

    Haunting reminders of the Titanic tragedy have wafted over us with the centenary of its sinking. The maiden voyage of an impressive, state of the art vessel, was a little like that of the Challenger space shuttle, at the cutting edge of developing technology. But the shuttle carried our pride in science and space exploration, not hundreds and hundreds of people.

  • William Masters: Nation stands divided between 'us' and 'them'

    In February, Trayvon Martin was shot dead as "suspicious" by a volunteer neighborhood watch man. The case has aroused community reaction in Sanford, Fla., and is still echoing across the country.

  • A quarterback can't win the game alone

    What is the relationship between democracy and wealth? Democracy is a political system, while wealth relates to economics. We have equal political rights, but we don't all have money. Extreme differences destroy the continuity of community solidarity.
