People learn and develop references and frameworks within which a world can exist,” Belling, B. & Mangalaars, F. A. H. (2004)1. Personal exp...

I do wish, however, that our leaders put forth some guidelines and set examples for others to follow during these trying times. R...

When I was a carefree lad watching “Lost in Space,” the Robinson family’s high-tech hydroponic garden sounded neat. Now I worry that the science fiction program sowed seeds that are taking us too far away from our roots of harvest festivals and “planting by the signs.” According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, “vertical farms” may be the wave of the future -- if we can find enough vertical WORKERS. (“Quit nagging, mom. I can’t have been slumped over the video game console for more than – HOW long does it take for mold to make penici...

Tennessee State Parks are providing a 10-percent discount for Tennessee residents to enjoy overnight accommodations through a new Tennessee Resident Discount Program, applying to most campsites, cabins and lodge rooms across the state. “Our parks belong to Tennesseans, so it is only fitting that state residents pay less than out-of-state visitors for overnight stays,” Jim Bryson, deputy commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, said. “We believe Tennessee taxpayers deserve this break in the parks.” Tenness...
When she arrived at Perry Community Hospital in December of 2019, new Administrator and Chief Operating Officer Liane Parker found a facility that she describes as “dark, sad, gloomy, and heavy.” Now, a half year later—and after working to revive the troubled hospital, sustain it through its worst-ever financial period during the pandemic, and breath new spirit into a small, rural business on life-support—she see its future as “extremely bright.” The Buffalo River Review this week posed a number of questions to Administrator Parker.
