Lots of smoke and mirrors about fires and their causes

Wildfire

With large fires still raging around the West, we can all feel empathy for those who lost their homes and even entire communities, as well as the suffering we all have experienced from the smoke.

Still, there is a tremendous amount of smoke and mirrors about the blazes and their cause.

The timber industry, Forest Service and some forestry schools are quick to suggest that logging can reduce large blazes. Rushing to log more of the forest will not solve the problem, indeed, it can worsen it.

1. Climate change is driving the larger blazes we are experiencing in the West. Higher daily temperatures, extreme drought, low humidity, and high winds resulting from climate change exacerbate the flammability of the vegetation. Extreme fire weather is driving large blazes, not fuels. We need to address the causes of global climate change and make this a national priority.

Calling All Seekers: “The New Matriarchy”

Gail Larned

Here is my story, my vision of a possible future. I encourage you to think about and write down YOUR vision for the future. How would you create the future if it could be any way you liked? We can create a future utopia if we focus our thoughts, energy and passion on it. And work for change now.

And so it began: the SHIFT, the change, the transformation that we all created together. It is precious and powerful, peaceful and strong.

The new matriarchy is a return to the rule of women, the mothers, nurturers and healers. After millennia of men making a mess of the world, women were going to put things right. Women’s priorities are to provide the basic necessities of life: food, shelter and love.

Initial Report on CPD Misconduct “Disappointing and Frustrating”

People protesting

On September 15, Mayor Ginther held a small press conference on the findings of an investigation by law firm Baker-Hostetler into allegations of misconduct by Columbus police officers. The results found CPD’s internal policy wanting for reform, but still did not live up to expectations.

This summer, as the nation reacted en masse to the gruesome police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, protesters found themselves not just speaking out against police brutality, but actively experiencing it as cities across the country attempted to quell the uprisings by force. In Columbus, as videos of police officers tear-gassing peaceful crowds filled social media, the city government struggled to respond.
