Main Street: Celebrating 15 years of writing for our community: Over 780 Main Street columns and counting
By Dr. Don Daake and Dr. Edward Piatt It doesn’t seem that long ago. In 2009, after we had both written for the Daily Journal’s B2B publication for several years, B2B announced that the business magazine would be discontinued. Ed set up a meeting with the then-editor Susy Schultz to explore future possibilities. During that meeting, we agreed that a weekly column on various business issues would be valuable to the community.

Editor’s note: Dr. Michael Burke is co-writing this article with Dr. Piatt this week.

I remember asking my mother to purchase the big 64 Crayola box with the sharpener on the side of the box. The interesting phenomenon about this box of Crayolas was it contained 64 different colors of crayons but, in reality, you only used about six or seven colors.
Periscope: Teeing off for a short ethics lesson
By: Ted Streuli for The Journal Record I was playing with two boys from the neighborhood. I knew them from church and as we got older we’d all been in Cub Scouts and a few other groups. When we’d finished our nine holes, my friends proposed stepping over to the fifth tee and replaying the last five holes. I objected because I didn’t have another 50 cents to play another round, and they made clear that the whole point of teeing off on No. 5 was to play a little more without paying any more. Read more
