Science and Sense: Explosive growth? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This column has covered growth before, but lately I am seeing a lot of commentary about the âexplosive growthâ in the Quad Cities. This caught my interest, so I did a little sleuthing about population growth in our area across the decades. It was illuminating, and I will share some of my findings here. Since my detractors often scream âsources!?â over their kombucha, I will say that every number I am including here is from online published data from the U.S. Census Bureau regarding the p
Science and Sense: Eating local makes sense (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This column has covered home gardens before â the process to get proper soil, things we can and canât grow, the challenges of dry and wet periods (mostly dry), and critters feasting on our gardens. Recent events have put a spotlight on the occasional health risks in our food chain (explosive diarrhea from Mexican lettuce, anyone?).

Science and Sense: What is 'rural'? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently spied a discussion on the interwebs about the proposed private airstrip in Chino Valley.

I went a step further, and asked several (8-10) acquaintances wha
Science and Sense: One little life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sorry, no Science and Sense today. I want to write about a little life that my family lost recently. I am sure my detractors will demand that the Courier fire me for not writing about Science or Sense last week â they need little provocation to make that demand. But I am taking a chance that the paper will indulge me this week. This story begins when we briefly lived in Texas, between our many years in Glendale and our move to Prescott seven years ago. My job required a corporate relocation to
Science and Sense: The science of aquifer recharge (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recently, this newspaper published an article about aquifer recharge that was absolutely full of misinformation. Todayâs column will correct some of these egregious misstatements, and hopefully clarify for residents what really happens to recharge our aquifer. The article quoted âPrescott Valley Water Resources Advisorâ Tracy Lund, as she explained ârain doesnât recharge the aquifer, snow does.â I was astounded that this juicy nugget of misinformation was uttered, let alone printed i
