The recent events unfolding in Ukraine demand our immediate attention and action. Putin’s aggressive incursion into Ukraine flagrantly violates international norms and threatens the democratic fabric of the region. It is imperative that we, as a global community, stand united in condemning this unprovoked aggression and extend unwavering support to Ukraine.
This assault on Ukraine’s sovereignty strikes at the heart of democracy and self-determination. It is not just an attack on one nation but an affront to the principles of freedom, democracy, and the rule of law that bind us together as a global society.
The ramifications of Putin’s actions reverberate beyond borders, impacting the lives of millions. Innocent civilians face displacement, violence and an uncertain future due to this unjustified aggression.
Supporting Ukraine is more than a moral obligation; it is a commitment to safeguarding democracy and the rights of sovereign nations. It’s a statement that tyranny and disregard for international law will not be tolerated.
Our government must take swift action, providing substantial financial assistance to Ukraine to bolster its defense capabilities and aid displaced civilians. Moreover, it’s crucial to rally international support to isolate Putin’s regime and hold it accountable for its blatant disregard of established norms.
Let us stand in solidarity with Ukraine, advocating for democracy, peace and justice. By supporting Ukraine and condemning Putin’s aggression, we affirm our commitment to upholding democratic values and ensuring a world where sovereignty is respected and freedom prevails.

I have been living in Leisure World for a year and a half, and I still get lost taking my nightly stroll. As I look around all the houses lit up and decorated with Christmas lights, I feel that I am living surrounded by beautiful neighbors who wish to share their love and warmth with those living around them. I start to hum an old song I used to sing when I was young.
“There’s a lamp shining bright in a cabin. In a window, it’s shinin’ for me. And I know that my mother is prayin’ for the boy she is longing to see,” from “When It’s Lamplighting Time in the Valley,” by Marty Robbins I would like to send New Year’s greetings to all those who have worked hard throughout the year, including the journalists, everyone working at the office, those who helped us with Frontier TV cable, the postal and the newspaper carriers, the gardener, the maintenance staff, everyone in Security, and all my table tennis instructors and friends.

Marley, the little 10-pound, 7-year-old dog that patrols Mutual 10 to chase away coyotes, wanted to go out for dinner at Mamas, which has a special dog menu. This time, he wanted a coyote dinner. The server said it wasn’t on the menu; instead, he had a doggie bowl of beef with carrots.
I had a rare Mama’s burger, and my wife, Pauline, had Mama’s Impossible Burger with a lettuce wrap.
For dessert, we had pineapple upside down cake. I had Karlas Fancy Coffee, quite tasty, as I wasn’t driving, and Marley is too young.
There are three Mamas restaurants, which all feature an inner patio for dogs and doggie dining.
It serves breakfast starting at 8 a.m. weekdays and at 8:30 a.m. on Sundays. It is open for lunch and dinner. Mamas on 39 is located at 11122 Los Alamitos Blvd. in Los Alamitos. There are also locations in Huntington Beach and Ladera Ranch.
Give your dog a treat. Tell the server that Marley sent you.
