Erie’s 2017 “40 Under 40”
Where is Erie going and who will take it there? Our annual “40 Under 40” feature seeks to answer these questions, giving a face to the present as we face an uncertain future. However, if these 40 young men and women are any indication, that future is not without promise. Whether it’s making a difference one-on-one in a classroom setting or lobbying for change on a national level, these electees prove that, yes, success can (and does) happen here.
Two Green Thumbs Up for *Little Shop of Horrors
Azaleas not cooperating this year? Tulips dying off faster than they can bloom? Those are fickle flora, for sure – but not as feisty as a mutant Venus flytrap that literally belts out showtunes in thirst of blood. Little Shop of Horrors is a 1982 black comedy horror musical based on the 1960 film of the same name. The story centers on lovelorn Seymour Krelborn, a meek florist’s assistant with a serious crush on his pretty blonde coworker, Audrey.
Enough Words - Erie Reader
When my oldest son was born, the miracle Of life became apparent for me before I even saw him. The nurse, the doctor, my wife, and I all instructing, encouraging, shouting – and then, suddenly: a new voice in the room. A new voice in the world. Dash’s first cries made my knees buckle and my head swim. Three years later, my knees would give way to again hear that voice, or his brother’s, put two words together.
Greater Erie Alliance for Equality
It started over a decade ago with a vision that gently blossomed into education and advocacy. Greater Erie Alliance for Equality has spent the better part of the last few years refining that mission and finding ways in which they can continue to educate and be of service to the LGBT community, allies, and the larger Erie community.
Harrisburg Happenings: March 29, 2017
This month, I would like to explain why I recently voted in the Senate Labor & Industry Committee against a $15 million transfer from the Unemployment Compensation Fund to the Service and Infrastructure Improvement Fund (SIIF), and address misinformation presented in a recent statement by a labor organization.
Our City’s Other Election
Most political talk in Erie today focuses on the change about to occur at 626 State Street. More specifically, most of that talk centers around who’ll occupy the fifth floor of City Hall after November’s general election. In case you haven’t read past issues of the Erie Reader, followed Erie Times-News coverage, or tuned in to Erie News Now or WJET-TV, or have been residing under a rock at Wintergreen Gorge, or burying your head in the sands of Presque Isle, Erie will elect a new mayor this year.
Exile on State Street: March 29, 2017
Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm. – Publilius Syrus Well, it’s good to return to the Erie Reader after an almost 16-month absence. And what better time? The upcoming spring primary, at least for the City of Erie, has epic consequences. I could not just stand by and let this happen without giving some input.
Hear the Call - Erie Reader
The theater is dark, but there is always a group of people inside; fixing a door, vacuuming the hallway, stocking refreshments, reading over a script for the next show, preparing for another show. Backstage, a woman, a volunteer actor, sits quietly, harnessing all of her energy for the stage. The week before, she had been in a hospital bed, devastated that she would miss a performance. She never misses a performance. Shows do not get canceled and tickets are not returned.
A New Shared Vision for Erie
Jobs. Crime. Education. These are the three concerns I hear most frequently while meeting with Erie residents. I am running for mayor because I can’t continue to watch as people leave Erie for better jobs. I can’t watch another story on the evening news about our children shooting each other or overdosing. I can’t watch our neighbors struggle to invest in their homes while houses, schools, and streets crumble around them.
From the Editors: March 15, 2017
It’s getting colder and harsher out there. Winter breezes burn our faces well into the month of March, while memories of another abnormally warm winter linger. Lake Erie spends more and more time unfrozen and the once ubiquitous snow mounds melt away in a few days. But of course, this kind of climate change in a few short years is nothing we need to worry about, is it? Changes can come in increments large and small.
