A ‘Blush and Bashful’ Super Six for January
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Whelp. All that posturing about writing meaningful content in the new year is on hold. Because, after conferencing with friends, it seems that most people hold my fashion picks in higher regard than my opinions on life. (sigh). Am I not as profound as I think I am?
Alas, I do love the excuse to shop in the name of journalism. So, I’m kicking off 2018...
Happy New Year! Surf’s up, baby!
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times
Happy 2018! Who’s got their surfboards ready?
Because, yeah, it is becoming increasingly likely that our friends in the Republican Party might not just be facing a wave, but rather a tsunami.

Smile, it’s a new year
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, The Times
In the last few days the extreme cold temperature of the northeast has frozen pipes, chilled the soul and made people with sensitive teeth frown.
When even smiling in the cold is too much for the teeth it’s a real concern. So many times we are asked what can be done. This month I am going to go over some tips to help keep those winter smiles.

On Stage: ‘Les Mis’ always finds a way back to local stages
By Denny Dyroff, Staff Writer, The Times
Les Misérables

Happy New year!
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
I hope that everyone had a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday break. For my family, it was a time filled with fun and (copious amounts of) food. It is always a little jarring to be thrust back into the reality that is January 2nd. Add some snow, frigid temperatures, and a 5am wake-up call from school to the mix and it’s enough to make us all want to go...
