Tyrades! by Danny Tyree I didn’t realize a recent CNN story would attempt making me feel guilty about my annual father-son bonding ritual. Each summer Gideon and I cut a series of radio commercials for my day-job employer (the local farmers cooperative), with the intention of having a little fun and, well, selling some stuff. […]

Sustainable Living: How to do slow fashion
As described in our last column, much of the clothing now available in stores is cheaply produced, and we often buy it frequently to keep up with quickly evolving styles. This fast-fashion trend wastes our money while needlessly draining resources, increasing environmental pollution, and straining landfills. Slow fashion is a more sustainable approach to dressing […]

Stacy Frizzle-Edgerton: They’ve flown the nest!
September is a month of transitions, summer turning into fall, baby birds leaving the nest and kids returning to school. We’ve experienced these trends at both my house and the People Plus Center, although this year the transitions have seemed a little more difficult.

The showdown Tuesday night – pitting a devotee of democracy who aspires to be our next president against a groupie of autocracy who aspires to be our last-ever president – was more delicious than an ice cream sundae with cherry on top. Thanks to a shrewd performance by Kamala Harris, one that surely exceeded Democratic […]

Joe Guzzardi: Harris and Trump debated, but viewers learned nothing
Viewers who tuned in to the highly anticipated debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris left disappointed.

LC Van Savage: Uneasy lies the crown
The sight just sets off an uncontrollable fit of giggles when I see the Brits wobbling around under those ponderous crowns they love so dearly. They sure do like to decorate themselves with ribbons, leather, ermine, uniforms and medals, precious gems and sashes, tiaras, rare fabrics and golden ropes, necklaces, and lavish embroideries etc. etc., […]

Giving Voice: How we think about charity
This morning, I found myself watching a Ted Talk from 2013. These short, no-notes presentations are designed to be engaging, entertaining and often thought provoking. I stumbled on Dan Pallotta’s speech while idly browsing the internet. The provocative title, “The way we think about charity is dead wrong” caught my attention. As an executive director […]

Gordon L. Weil: Harris, Trump debate went beyond issues
The debate revealed a split between the presidential candidates going beyond their differences on the issues. At several points, Kamala Harris directly addressed viewers, reaching beyond the limits of the ABC debate set. Donald Trump, expected to be on offense but finding himself mostly on defense, never left the limits of the debate. After the […]
