Watching the television screen on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, most Americans felt helpless. But Lodi area artists — whether it was that day or in the weeks to come — took to their palettes and drawing boards and put their hearts and tears on blank canvases to show their patriotism, the vulnerability that was felt across America and the grief that struck a nation.

Congratulations to our 2004 Lodi Flag Football champions, the Lodi Packers.

Rachel Scott, a student at Columbine High School during the 1999 shooting, was shot and killed during the rampage as she ate lunch with her friend.
