Sonia Uyterhoeven is Gardener for Public Education. Let’s look at simple ways to dress up our homes for those of us who have great aspirations and little time. Around the holiday times we like to brighten up our homes with flowers. If you buy a nice bouquet of roses you can gussy them up for [...] [...] Don’t miss you chance to walk through a miniature New York cityscape, teeming with Garden-scale model trains. [...] While the elections are generally calm in most of our towns it’s not so over in Southeast where the vitriol continues unabated as the days move on towards the primary a week from next Tuesday. Really now, if I lived in that town I’d be embarrassed. Southeast replaced Kent several years back as the Town That Rankles and I’m happy they’re working hard to keep that moniker. Keep it up, guys!

“If Franz Kafka had started a business, he would have started Verizon.” Good Monday Morning, If you were around on Saturday, you’d have noticed that pretty much every shop and business was open and so the question is: who gets a holiday? The answer is white collar workers. The service industry (the vast majority of Americans) largely works on national holidays. When I’m President, national holidays will be just that, National Holidays, and aside from emergency services, everyone will be off from work, malls will be closed, gas stations and convenience stores tidily shut… everything. It’s easy to plan a day ahead so quit complaining about not being able to get that last minute beer or ice. Oh, and election day will be a national holiday as well as it is in many other countries. I know, I know… we’re in a global economy but just try to reach someone in France or Germany during August. If they can shut down for a month and still be more productive than we are, surely we can [...] Tomorrow is Christmas (as I’m sure most know) and next week is the New Year. Don’t assume that everyone you know has a place to go and someone to be with, no matter how ‘popular’ they may seem to you. Extend an invitation. Make room at the table. [...] How does the Hanukkah Menorah work? by Allison Klein Klein, Allison. “How does the Hanukkah Menorah work?.” 29 October 2004. HowStuffWorks.com. 21 December 2008. Every year, usually in mid- to late-December on the Western calendar, Kislev 25 on the Hebrew calendar, Jews around the world celebrate the holiday of Hanukkah. Also know as the Festival of Lights, the holiday remembers one particular instance of triumph over religious persecution, when the Jews were able to escape oppression at the hands of Antiochus, a Syrian king. Hanukkah is an eight-night celebration, and the celebration includes lighting a candle in the Hanukiyah (in English-speaking countries this is often called a Menorah, which is the Hebrew word for a candelabra) on each day of the holiday. In 167 B.C., the Syrian king Antiochus IV began to outlaw Jewish religious practices and forced Jews to adopt Greek rituals. His men took control of the Jews’ Holy Temple in Jerusalem, looted it and erected an idol of a Greek god there. One Jewish family, the Hasmoneans (led by Mattityahu and his five sons), decided to take a stand against the persecution. The Greek forces arrived in the town of Modiin, near Jerusalem. It was here [...]
“As transportmakers, the companies could produce vehicles for high-speed train and bus systems that would improve our travel options, reduce global warming, conserve energy, minimize accidents and generally improve the way we live.” – Robert Goodman on the bailout for US Automakers PlanPutnam’s Annual Fund Drive: Day 17 Only 3 Days Left! Don’t worry, you can still donate after those 3 days are up. It’s just that {maybe} I’ll stop annoying you. Good Friday Morning, Before you head out to the malls this morning just make sure you’ve set aside a few shekels to keep News That Matters coming to your inbox each day. To be honest, I know you’re not heading out to the malls. I know that. I have faith in our collective ability to resist temptation, buck the “spend ourselves into oblivion” mantra that assaults us day in and day out on the television and radio and makes up 70% of the column space in our daily newspapers. However… JC Penny and Kohl’s opened at 4AM this morning and a Linen’s and Things store is in a [...] PlanPutnam’s Annual Fund Drive: Day 8 <- Click Here Good Friday Morning, There’s good news out there this morning. It looks like the insurgent members of the Patterson Town Board have seen the future and decided that come election day they’d like to be re-elected. In order to calm the storm they caused over the past few weeks they’ve decided to re-instate Rich Williams’ and Ted Kozlowski’s positions in the 2009 budget and cut their “in lieu of” health insurance payments from $7600 to $6000.
