Kudos to Peggy McGehee for sounding the pesticide alarm (“Pesticide regulation good for dogs, too,” April 1). She is so right. Please let me sound off the butterfly alarm. It has turned into a crisis for them and the bees. The monarch butterfly will soon be extinct. I’m asking all of us to take action […]

Letter: ACAAA petition in SAD 75 misrepresented in news

Cooking at the Cove: A rainbow bowl and breakfast treat add zing to spring
Other than pizza, tacos, and my famous chicken noodle soup, this colorful bowl comprised of a protein, a grain and vegetables is a meal my two youngest grandchildren will eat, especially when I cut up all the components and let them build it themselves. For your crew or just for yourself, choose a grain (quinoa […]
