Yet another article about CHANGE
“The only constant is change.” — Heraclitus I’m very new to Medium.com, and I’ve been reading a lot of articles about change. “Change is painful.” “Change is scary.” “Change is hard.” But wait — isn’t change also opportunity? The chance to be, do, act in ways that improve us and our experiences? The chance to learn about ourselves and know ourselves better? We’re afraid of change, but we want movement. Aren’t these the same thing, essentially?
Invisible Progress with Undeniable Growth - a response to Lincoln Adura
Lincoln Adura posted an article talking about “pauses” in his life that felt like the absence of life, creativity, direction. Then someone asked him, what if the stillness is a start, not a pause? It was a very interesting article, and at the end he asked his own question of his readers, which I have copied here. And what follows is my answer. Have you ever had a season where your progress was invisible, but your growth was undeniable? How did you navigate it? How did you trust it?

Windy with light snow
OSWEGO — Splash Indoor Waterpark and Resort is now set to arrive in the Port City this summer, an Oswego business owner helming its development said Tuesday. The new year-round aquatic attraction, at 92 E. 1st St., was previously scheduled to open this winter, but supply-chain issues and administrative hiccups involving state agencies have pushed the date to the summer, said Shane Broadwell, who is working on the project and is a partner of Broadwell Hospitality Group.

This Freeze Date Tool incorporates historical temperature data that has been aggregated to the county level back to 1950.

5 Girls Under 20 Who Founded Successful Businesses
By: Beth Hall Who doesn’t love to read about inspiring, successful businesswomen? For decades, young women who have been classified as “wise beyond their years” have been founding and running companies before they ever make it to college — some even before a high school diploma is in hand. Flori Marquez, for example, co-founded BlockFi and has made millions bringing institutional banking to cryptocurrencies.
Move Towards Fear
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Michael Muller is Hollywood’s most in-demand photographer. But that title doesn’t even begin to capture the breadth of his extraordinary, Hemingway-esque life. It’s a path defined by his commitment to curiosity. An unquenchable thirst for adventure. Unbridled creativity. And an impulse to always, always move towards fear.
July/August corn water needs
The water needs of corn peak in July and taper off in August as we near dent stage. Irrigated corn has its highest water use and realizes its greatest potential benefit from irrigation during the week of tasseling and the following three weeks. Most irrigation scheduling programs have corn using 115-120% of a 6-inch grass reference evapotranspiration (ET0), which translates to a water need for as much as 2 inches per week in cornfields in the peak water use stages.
Talking About Race with Our Children, Whatever their Race
Talking About Race with Our Children, Whatever their Race Parents We asked you what information you would like addressed in our blogs. Many of you responded by asking for information on how to discuss race and the protests with your children. We turned to Beth Hall, colleague and friend who has spent decades working to combat discrimination. The following is her guest blog. She sent it along with a note - "It's a thousand words long, feel free to cut it." We couldn't.
Letter to the editor | Honored to attend banquet
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.” I believe these verses from the apostle Paul describe the Redeemed Men of God banquet my husband and I had the privilege of attending Saturday, July 27. The commitment to God, family and the Johnstown community was addressed by every speaker and supported by those in attendance.
Make way for hotels
If you haven’t been to downtown Portsmouth in a decade or more, you might notice the waterfront city has a different look these days — taller buildings, new high-end shops and more choices if you want to spend the night. A development boom that includes a number of large hotel projects has changed the face of downtown and promises further expansion into what were once sleepy commercial and residential areas.
In Our Natural States
“My wife and I have several spots that are dear to us. One of them is the Tyler Bend Visitor Center, the official visitor center for the Buffalo River. We like to walk the trail that starts at the Collier Homestead and meanders to a beautiful overlook of the river. Most of the time, you can see the people floating the river from the overlook. It’s a quarter-of-a-mile walk, so it’s easy to get to. The trail goes through the woods, so each season has its own look to it.
Letter to the editor: A look at the Winter Park election
How lucky we all are to live in this fantastic gem of a city — Winter Park! While it may seem to most of us that this place just is what it is, the truth is something far different. It takes the dedicated effort of so very many people to make it so. Mayor Leary and our dedicated commissioners are significant among these.
Leary won Winter Park
Congratulations to Steve Leary on winning what was an extremely hard-fought battle to become the next mayor of Winter Park. I sincerely wish him the very best going forward. But with victory at hand, might our newly minted mayor, who will be sworn in Monday, be feeling a bit chastened? And, why do I ask? Because using the final vote counts reported by the Sentinel on March 11, I see that just 382 Leary votes cast in the other direction would have landed Mackinnon in the mayor's seat.
