What’s Good in the Neighborhood, October 7, 2019

Networks of Support I used to believe that trees fought one another to reach the sun, get nutrients, and simply to thrive. The smallest tree in a forest was doomed from the start. A few years ago, I learned about a secret communication that exists between trees that tells quite the opposite story. The gigantic trees that we admire above ground are connected through a network of teeny tiny fungi that communicate between trees of all species. If one tree is aware of drought or of an insect manifestation, it sends messages to other trees in the area through these fungi.  [...]

What’s Good in the Neighborhood, September 30, 2019

2019-10-01T09:18:11-04:00

This weekend, I was with my siblings looking through old photo albums. We were laughing at our funny outfits in the 70s, our colorful hairstyles in the 80s, and our funny glasses in the 90s. We looked at our pictures in Kindergarten and then compared our Senior portraits with photos of our parents at similar ages.  My dad, at 18, was in college in India. My mom, at 18, was in nurse’s training in Missouri. It’s amazing, no matter the culture, how school photos are such wonderful markers of time passing. As we begin this week that leads to School Pictures, [...]

Summer Dreaming When I was a child we would "call India" the first Saturday of every month. My family in India didn't have a phone so we would call family friends who lived nearby.  We would hang up for them to run over to my family's house and gather as many people as possible.  And we would call back about 20 minutes later, eagerly waiting to pass the phone around, one at a time.  Conversations were limited to Hi how are you's as the phone was passed around the room to my brother, sister, and I. After doing the rounds with [...]

On November 6, Vote “YES” on Question 1!

2018-10-18T15:14:02-04:00

  Voting YES or FOR to Question 1 will keep a promise made to voters that casino revenue would increase school funding instead of being used for other purposes. While casino revenues have been going into the Education Trust Fund—which can only be used for funding public education—nearly the same amount of existing funding has been shifted from education to other parts of the state budget. The result? The new revenue from casinos hasn’t added to existing funding; it has simply maintained the existing levels. Passing Question 1 will stop the budget gimmicks and ensure that casino revenues actually go to [...]
