Letter to the Editor It’s well-known that olive oil and other plant fats are healthier than butter. Recent comprehensive research of previous studies confirms this fact and shows that choosing plant fats over butter significantly reduces the risk of serious diseases. So let’s ditch butter—and all animal-derived ingredients—for our health, the planet, and animals. Cows, like humans, produce milk to nourish their young—not for another species to make butter. But on today’s factory farms, cows are artificially inseminated on a device the industr...
LETTER TO THE EDITOR If you take the extreme position of believing that the failure to murder a former President and the leading candidate for the Presidency is 'disappointment' and a missed chance to 'save our Country', then you don't believe in our Country. You don't believe in our Consitution where the American Citizens hold the exclusive right to decide who their President will be, not a 20 year old punk with a gun. Kristen Paul [email protected]...
Letter to the Editor Rags or riches, camels and needles. So, here we stand on the edge of a great precipice, each party leaning forward, well over their skies. Who will be the first to fall and who will land on their feet? While both think they have the saving answer, the “snow” continues to pile up. Whose boots are wide enough to hold them up on top, or will 10 penny stilettoes poke holes causing them to melt down? Whichever the case, perhaps we should put aside our communication devices, sit quietly in a dark room, until we hear an ind...

This adjustment will offer relief to taxpayers, mod...
Somewhere over the years, karma gave me the finger. It all started with an incident in Mrs. Jones’s high school English class. Classmate Tracy Holder was unconsciously performing multiple animated hand gestures as he delivered an emphatic observation. Unnoticed, I smugly imitated his gesticulations. (That was not my finest hour. The late Tracy was a cool guy, and I would definitely not give my immature younger self an “o-tay” signal for such tomfoolery.) By the time I was producing an exagg...
Stained-glass windows, composed of colored and painted glass pieces held together by lead strips, are an example to human creativity and craftsmanship. These vibrant works of art were particularly popular in Europe between 1150 and 1550, gracing cathedrals, churches, and even city halls. The translucent quality of stained glass made it a favored medium in religious contexts, where large windows depicting scenes from the Bible and the lives of saints animated sacred spaces with colorful, glimmering lights. The artistry involved in creating...

The birds in the yard are busy at their feeders....
