you need to get lost
to find your way.

There is only one thing
that it requires real courage to say,
and that is a truism.

is actually a pen and that,

I’m younger than that now.

Story

Those who do not have power
over the story that dominates their lives,
power to retell it, to rethink it,
deconstruct it, joke about it,
and change it as times change,
truly are powerless,
because they cannot think new thoughts.
– Salman Rushdie

From the Editor's Computer

October's the month
When the smallest breeze
Gives us a shower
Of autumn leaves.
Bonfires and pumpkins,
Leaves sailing down -
October is red
And golden and brown.
- Can Teach Songs

We have been very fortunate to have such nice weather in October for harvesting. I hope you all get a chance to enjoy the sunshine and summer-like fall we are having as we move toward winter.


Let’s go hiking just outside of town,
Through the leaves as they come drifting down,
Red and yellow, lovely golden brown.
It’s October!

People

Whenever two people meet
there are really six present.
There is each man as he sees himself,
each as the other person sees him,
and each man as he really is.
– William James

Sing

I want to sing like birds sing
Not worrying who hears
or what they think.

October 1, 2010 Chautauqua


From the Editor's Computer

What makes for a great newspaper?

To me, a community newspaper is similar to a public library. The content should reflect the diversity of the population, and be varied enough to appeal to a broad range of individuals. There should not be too much emphasis on one particular group of people. There should be items to entertain, educate, and challenge individuals. The tricky aspect is that everyone reacts differently - what I may find educational, you may find entertaining.

As well, a great newspaper, like a public library, will have items that don’t appeal to everyone (nor should they), and individuals have the freedom to ignore what doesn’t strike their interest. If a newspaper, or library, had what appealed to “everyone” there wouldn’t be much use for it.

“If all printers [or editors] were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed.” - Benjamin Franklin
