On Aug. 12, I played in my third annual Ritzville Women’s’ Golf Tournament. I partnered with Harriet, a woman of humor, tolerance and grace, which is how she survived eighteen holes with me. The experience could have devastated a lesser person. Debbie and Elke from Quincy completed our foursome. We very much enjoyed playing with them. They didn’t seem bothered by that day’s feels-like-triple-digits scorching heat, but that’s no surprise since it’s hot enough in Quincy to produce solar flares. They carried the same handic...

There are plenty of fans, which includes me a time or two years ago, that believe by merely paying the price of admission it allows said fan to act out in any imposing way short of violent outburst. On Sunday, in a game between the Baltimore Orioles and San Francisco Giants, a fan threw a banana toward Oriole centerfielder Adam Jones. Jones is an African-American, and acts such as this do have racial overtones. To have this type of act happen in what is arguably the most...
