    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    To somewhere safer where the feeling stays I want to love you but I’m getting blown away I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream For a number of years, my wife and I (sometimes accompanied by adult children and then grandkids) have spent extensive time in West Maui. We own a small condo there that we scrimped and saved to purchase on the island in 2013. And no doubt, that’s often true, but there are times and seasons in which the islands can seem more like Paradise Lost (apologies to John

    Don Miller | Like a hurricane: Lala’s message to Hawaii – and Santa Cruz (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    LAHAINA, MAUI — August is a difficult month for the island of Maui, to put it mildly. A little more than three years after the disastrous Lahaina fires destroyed an entire Hawaiian town and killed more 102 people, Hurricane Lala came calling Saturday. This time, though, the disaster hit other islands harder, although Maui felt the kick as winds up to 70 mph roared, torrential rains fell in East Maui and power outages temporarily affected tens of thousands of residents. At least four businesses i

Sometimes it’s driven by mental illness and an apparitional voice urging the perpet

    Don Miller | Curtis Reliford’s long, painful journey to peace, love and kindness (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Many of you reading this know of Curtis Reliford. After all, how can you not have seen, and heard him, with his flatbed truck, banners, and loud music playing — a presence that is omnipresent in local events, most recently Juneteenth and the Aptos Fourth of July parade. He also stands out as a Black person who makes waves, and has faced his share of disapproval by local residents who don’t like the music or the showmanship, in a county with a Black population of 1.4%. I’ve been friends with Curt

    Commentary | Travels and travails at Yosemite National Park (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For the Fourth of July, at least we stayed home to enjoy (cower before?) the close thunder of illegal fireworks at nearby beaches. We didn’t make that same cogent decision over Memorial Day, however. We made the somewhat insane decision, in retrospect, to head into Yosemite Valley that weekend. While it’s been six weeks or so since we had an adventure like few others at Yosemite, the holiday crowds here were a reminder of the intense coming together of nations, creeds and languages at Yosemite t
