Many people were busy this week planting trees or other land-based plants in celebration of Earth Day. Earth Day comes at a time of year when the snow (hopefully) has melted and the ground has thawed enough to do some planting and to uncover dormant plants to prepare for warmer weather.

Cooking at the Cove: Stir fry on the fly
We all have those meals that we make on the fly and don’t even have to think about. A little of this mixed with a little of that, and we like it so much, we put it on repeat week after week, year after year. Quickie Shrimp Stir Fry is one of those. I first […]
From the Chocolate Church: An epic story for all ages and more — multimedia theater artist Ifrah Mansour in residency
I’ve long been fascinated by epic journeys. From Odysseus to Ernest Shackleton, from Vito Corleon to my own great-grandmother — who fled Ukraine in 1899, a 14-year-old stowaway hidden in hay — there’s nothing as compelling then the journey through trials and tribulations to not only find home but oneself in the process.

A challenging paddle on Crooked River
Paddling the Crooked River near East Waterford has been on my mind for decades. When my friend, Paul Plumer, suggested joining him and Eggman DeCoster for a trip down Crooked River in late March, I quickly agreed. Neither Eggman nor I had paddled Crooked, and Paul’s only experience was in the summer of 1990 at […]
