Remembering the fallen
Memorial Day and Veterans Day can often seem interchangeable. Both days are marked by solemn reflection on the service of military members. The main difference in my life has been usually that I got Memorial Day off, but never Veterans Day. But really the difference couldn’t be starker. Simply put: on Veterans Day we celebrate the living, on Memorial Day we contemplate the dead. Specifically, we remember those who died while in military service.

Local ‘rock star’ on art tour
For Alexander Valley sculptor T Barny, it’s about more than just about the stone. “It’s a way scientists or astronomers envision the universe as being infinite, but finite,” he says. “It just keeps going, keeps going, keeps going.” The concepts of art and topology animate him.
