Rewilding
Rewilding is a term that is gaining popularity. According to an organization devoted to the concept, (rewilding.org), rewilding is a “comprehensive, often large-scale, conservation effort focused on restoring sustainable biodiversity and ecosystem health by protecting core wild/ wilderness areas, providing connectivity between such areas, and protecting or reintroducing apex predators and highly interactive species (keystone species).” 01/17/2023 11:00 PM    1

Community Parades Again
Community Parades Again
Approximately 800 community members walked the streets of downtown Lexington in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Monday. This was the seventh annual MLK Community Parade sponsored by the Community Anti-Racism Effort of Rockbridge (CARE). A buzz of enthusiasm echoed throughout the streets as this was the first true MLK parade since 2020. In 2021, in the midst of the pandemic, CARE sponsored a “Stand Up for Justice, Love, and Equality” socially distanced event, and last year the parade was canceled because of a winter storm. Following the parade, area residents were welcomed into Murray Hall at Lexington Presbyterian Church for vegetable soup and hot chocolate, and in commemoration of Dr. King, poems and prose were read by members of the community.

Short-Term vs. Long Term, Again
Short-Term vs. Long Term, Again
I think about the pull between short-term and long-term rewards fairly often, and I’ve written about the ill effects of the quest for short-term gain over long-term sustainability in our newspaper industry. I see this phenomenon playing out more often, it seems, and over a variety of issues. 01/17/2023 11:00 PM
