I’m proud of my son Gideon for doing his civic duty and casting a vote for the first time. (This comes mere months after he did his civic duty and signed up for Selective Service. And, would you believe it, not one of the candidates for dogcatcher was remotely prepared to answer his questions about their position on reinstating the draft! What has become of the true statesmen???) It was an especially meaningful milestone because local early voting takes place at the multi-use building that forme...

She gives talks and workshops at local events and organizations, She will present the safe and historical uses of herbal plants. There is a resurgence of interest in these plants.

Perhaps it’s partly because my mother owns a huge antique desk from Milky Way Farm (the former estate of Franklin C. Mars, founder of Mars Candies), but I pay keen attention to the annual flurry of “filler” news items about Halloween candy. “Prices up or down? What’s hot and what’s not? Should I call my manual laborer cousin and rub this sweet gig in his face or not?” (Think of the perennial stories as being like the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano, except with cavities, tummy aches a...
