Following is the campout info, and as for the Wednesday night races, let's try this: Just when sailors have cleared the "midweek hump" at work on hot summer Wednesdays, they can drive to Tempe Town Lake, launch a small boat, and head out for an hour or so of casual, run-what-ya-brung racing. George Sheller is the organizer of this loosely organized gathering. At... Full story

Two words that strike fear in many a shelter workers hearts -"kitten season". What is kitten season you ask? Kitten season is the time of year when cats give birth, flooding animal shelters across the nation with homeless litters. Kitten season is really three seasons in one, starting in spring, peaking in late spring or early summer, and ending in fall. It may begin sooner and last a little longer here in Arizona because of our nice warm weather (lucky us!) We are also in need of puppy... Full story

I'm a true believer that every situation we encounter in our daily lives can (and should) be a learning experience - from meeting people on the street to driving to work in the morning to dealing with co-workers and/or customers to communicating with our families (and everything in between). Everything we do we can learn from. If something didn't go right in a situation, instead of looking to place blame, ask yourself, what could I have said or done differently? There are so many things to be... Full story
"Osiyo, dohijo?" is a Cherokee greeting equivalent to the English, "Hello, how are you?" If you were in good spirits and feeling well, you might respond, "Osdv, senina?" or "Good, and you?"

Our tribe is not native to Oklahoma, where most of us reside, and we are not even native of the Appalachian Mountainous region where the Europeans first made contact with... Full story
