Our chapter has nearly 250 volunteers from all walks of life. They come together with one [...]

The article “Local Officials Say biosolids safe to use” published April 15 ends on the right note, offering one way to use the waste for its contained energy.
The article completely ignores one of the biggest problems using animal waste as fertilizer, namely the massive nutrient pollution it causes. Conventional chemical fertilization is rarely more than [...]

To the Editor:
Caroline Snyder’s letter to the editor of March 26 was a gross misrepresentation of the facts about the land application of biosolids. While Snyder often presents herself as a scientist by listing her previous association with the Rochester Institute of Technology, it must be noted that she taught in the College [...]
Lewis Black cynically calls “leaders” those politicians who tell voters without a proverbial pot to piss in that taxes on the rich should be reduced.

To the Editor:This week I wrote a letter to the Clarke County Board of Supervisors urging the County’s acceptance of an offer from our sister organization Civil War Trust to preserve and interpret a major portion of the Cool Spring battlefield.
This opportunity is important to my organization as Clarke County is part of the eight-county [...]

So, what revelations? First, the Governor and conservative Republicans ran on [...]
Wannabe VP,
Bobby McD,
took Jill up the hill
to become a culture warrior.
but poor Bobby McD,
it seems he forgot
conservative Republican women do not
much care about their sisters.
scholarly Bobby McD,
(the fornicators enemy),
then had an epiphany
on the importance of vaginas.
our courageous wannabe VP,
(sensing he might soon be
auld Booby McD),
conferred with his ambition.
and quickly concluded he must,
throw Jill under the [...]

Chairman Dodson,
The submission of this letter is one of the first steps in which I must take to begin anew. I have been fortunate enough to have had a network of individuals, who have helped this once lowly candidate for the Virginia State Senate fight back up off of his knees following the [...]
