Good words

Although the end of sprawl will require painful changes, it will also provide a badly needed opportunity to take stock of the car-dependent, privatized society that has evolved over the past 60 years and to begin imagining different ways of living and governing. We may discover that it's not so bad living closer to work, in transit- and pedestrian-friendly, diverse neighborhoods where we run into friends and neighbors as we walk to the store, school or the office. We may even find that we don't miss our cars and commutes, and the culture they created, nearly as much as we feared we would.

Transportation

It’s time we built a high-speed rail system connecting Cleveland-Columbus-Cincinnati. It’s time we fund our transit systems to be strong competitors to the car. It’s time we invested in Complete Streets (like the Euclid Corridor). It’s time we fixed our potholes. It’s time we stopped building new highways to nowhere. It’s time we had a real conversation about investing in a transportation system that recognizes climate change, peak oil, and sustainable solutions.

Youth ages seven to twelve will begin to cultivate their culinary skills using products available at the Countryside Farmers' Markets. Participants in this innovative program will experience the seasonality of foods, meet local farmers and artisans, and gain hands-on cooking skills. Classes include a guided trek through the market with the chef, hands-on instruction, and a recipe to take home to enjoy with family and friends. Parents should be prepared to drop students off at the market by 10:00 am and to pick them up at Old Trail School promptly at 1:00 pm.

The class is $40 per student, and advance registration is required. For more information, call (330) 657-2538 or visit Countryside Conservancy.
