- Idealism runs head-on into reality during wartime
-
Most veterans don't talk about their combat experiences. There are obvious reasons for sidestepping the horrible memories of what mankind is capable of doing. For many, it was the first-time clash between the real and ideal. It was like two full-throttled steam locomotives meeting head on. That's why soldiers usually don't come back from a combat situation the same way they went into it.

- Why college tuition is rising
-
As Lodi’s high schools prepare to graduate their senior classes, students will be excitedly looking ahead — perhaps with some apprehension — to the rest of their lives. For many, their futures will include continuing their educations at a four-year university. But the road ahead will be fraught with heavy expense that will present a financial burden to most.

- Celebrating Lodi’s bounty of fresh food

Every spring during the 1950s, my Sicilian grandmother Nonna would host the entire California branch of the Guzzardi family to a home cooked Italian feast. More than a week in preparation, the meal included all the Italian favorites including pasta dishes, sausages, peppers and artichokes.

- It’s Teacher Appreciation Week — thank a teacher
-
The week of May 6 through 10 is Teacher Appreciation Week in California.
As you read this, I'm sure you recall a favorite teacher you had somewhere in your educational journey. For many of us in the education profession, it was one or two people who influenced us beyond words, who inspired a love of teaching, learning, reading, writing, science or math.

- Quips and quotes from around Lodi
-
I have been trying to corner this column for well over a week now, and have finally pinned it down between laundry and watering flower pots. Also in the mix was a family gathering at California Al’s for Second Son’s and my joint birthday. A little newcomer to the group was my great-grandson, Second Daughter’s grandson via her son. I’ve already had a step great-grandson for a while, via Second Daughter’s stepdaughter. Gets complicated, doesn’t it? It’s nothing compared to the relationships among my forebears!

- College campus would create huge economic benefits
-
It is time for us to revitalize our efforts and bring higher education to Lodi. The multiple benefits of either a community college or private four-year school would create job opportunities, increase property values and add to the richness of art and culture in our lovely city.

- Lodi pastor to bombing suspect: I forgive you

Dear Dzhokhar:
It has been a hard week. You hurt a lot of people in Boston and around the world. The injuries to both body and soul will last the lifetimes of the victims. I cannot begin to fathom what events transpired that provoked you to participate in such evil. Ultimately, it doesn't matter.

- Despite promises, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs isn’t looking any better
-
Recently, I was listening to a program on NPR in which Terri Gross, host of "Fresh Air," was interviewing Aaron Glantz, a journalist who wrote the book "The War Comes Home: Washington's Battle Against America's Veterans." The book is based on facts about the Veteran’s Administration obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.
