Stories Rooted in Nature: Gulos: A tree with a lot of character
Plants are just so amazing! I love observing them and studying every little detail, but I also enjoy thinking about the bigger picture: their role in our ecosystems and their relationships with people. Guam’s geological makeup has a major influence on its soils, which in turn shapes the vegetation growing across the island. Soils over limestone tend to be shallow, porous, and well-drained, while soils derived from volcanic rock can be shallow or deeper, more acidic, and less drained.

LETTER: Coffee and the folks behind the counter
Having been in business for 40 years, with most of those years in sales, coffee shops, like for most people in my profession (especially if they are self-employed as I am), are our second offices. We meet clients there, meet business partners there, transact business there, grab wi-fi there, and even drink coffee there. So, over the years, I’ve been in a lot of them. I’ve even done business with some back in the day, when one of my companies was a distributor of food-service cleaning supplies.
OPINION McNinch: Daycare politics
In general, I do not talk in the media about polling we have in the month before the elections. I only talk about them on election night after the voting is over. Therefore, please note that my comments this month are pretty anodyne or general in nature and I will try not to comment on candidates or their positions. Who will win in any race or which party will get the Legislative majority is still in limbo until the votes are counted and certified.
