Thursday, January 23, 2020 11:00 AM

Diary of January 15, 2020

3 a.m. Alarm rings—time to start a new day. My husband Joe and son Benjamin, 20, get ready for work. They refuel both coal stoves for the day while I pack their lunches and make grilled cheese sandwiches for their breakfast.

3:35 a.m. Joe and Benjamin leave for work. I go back to bed to catch a few more winks.

Wild winter weather woes

Wednesday, January 22, 2020 2:00 PM

As a gardener, if there’s one thing I hear when we have a winter like this one, it’s this: How is this crazy weather going to affect our plants? It’s a valid question. Winter can be hard on humans, and it can be hard on plants, too.

The value of consensus

Thursday, January 16, 2020 2:00 PM

When a group of friends want to go to a movie together, they need to reach a consensus on which movie to see. When a family goes on a vacation, they should come to an agreement, or a consensus, on where to go and what to do. When all members of the group voice their opinions and ideas, it is easier to make final decisions. Consensus is the agreement reached between the members of the group. Consensus decision making includes all participants. It builds trust among the members of the group by including everyone’s opinion.

Friday, January 10, 2020 9:00 AM

We live in an era of high consumerism. We buy products, goods and services almost faster than we can use them.

Letter to Editor

Wednesday, January 8, 2020 2:00 PM

Dear Editor,

Trump campaigner Carter Page was “spied” upon by the FBI. The 2-year investigation by Trump’s Justice Department found “significant errors and omissions” in the FISA applications for surveillance of Page, but the exhaustive investigation found no evidence of “political bias or improper motivation.” Carter Page wasn’t under surveillance because he campaigned for Trump, he was under FBI surveillance because he was consorting with known Russian intelligence officers, foreign adversaries always trolling to undermine our system of government.
