Johnson's Novel a Poetic Chronicle of a Buffalo Soldier
|
|
In tracking the trajectory of protagonist Elijah Yancy's life from his birth-on the historically resonant Emancipation Day 1863, novelist Shelton Johnson's Gloryland charts the making of a buffalo soldier and in doing so pays homage to some of our country's earliest defenders of the Earth and its wild places.Letters & Emails, via the Internet
| I just read about the proposed November initiative to provide funding for our state parks by raising vehicle license fees $18 per year (and described as a small fee). I've got news for you--I had a hard time coming up with my car license fee in 2009 because Schwarzenegger used the vehicle license item as a method to raise funds for the state by doubling the fee; adding $18 per year more on top of the now doubled fee will not encourage people to want to vote for your initiative. |

Opinion: Should I Order the Salmon?
|
Where's the salmon from? asked the server at a Carmel restaurant. It's from somewhere up north, the server winged it. Wild? I persisted. Yes, the server replied, although the fish was actually farmed in Scotland. Eighty percent of the salmon served in restaurants is farmed, and even salmon purported to be wild caught is, according to one survey, usually raised in farms where they may host cancer-causing chemicals, red dyes and parasites such as sea lice. |
