Star & Enterprise Letters to Editors
Writer shares letter with interim administrator; He shares reply Dear Mr. Williams, Minutes after the county council meeting e-mails started flying back and forth about your decision to support John Rogers proposal. I would like to know why you are supporting him? I am a resident of Marion. I met Jen Nall at the last County Council meeting. My wife and I have been helping out Jen Nall for a few weeks now — helping her pull dogs from the shelter in Marion. As a professional photographer I tried to help out by taking pictures at the shelter for the Humane Society, Paws to the Rescue, and for posting on Petfinder. As you are aware I was stopped from taking pictures at the shelter by Jerry Coleman. When I questioned the legal right of the County to stop me from taking pictures on public property I was told that the final decision was with you.

No soup bubbling on the stove. Instead? The quieter and largely odorless work of food dehydrators, juicers, sprouters and blenders. The raw food movement--and we're not talking sushi--has hit Japan. Though at this point it's more a blip than a boom, there is a growing community of raw foodists and two Tokyo restaurants that specialize in raw food. The "living food" movement takes health-conscious eating to a new frontier by pushing veganism--no animal products, including milk, eggs or cheese--into the strictly raw realm. "Raw vegan is the new vegetarianism," says Em Bettinger, 33, a yoga teacher and raw foodist living in Tokyo.
