A new round of Dialogue to Action sessions, a six-week program of conversations about racism geared toward meaningful action, is set to begin in February. Because of the ongoing pandemic, all sessions will be held via Zoom. Sponsored by the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice in conjunction with the YWCA-DE Racial and Social Justice Program, study circles of eight to 10 people will meet with trained facilitators once a week to talk about race, racism, and possible solutions to end it. The program will culminate in an Action Forum when all participants will gather to finalize plans for specific actions to address identified issues.

Paige column was right
Woodie Paige is right on with Sundays column on the Rockies baseball. He is the reason I subscribe to the paper. As soon as I saw his name on the staff, I signed up, remembering his work on the old Rocky Mountain News. I am not a relative, nor have I ever met him, just a fan.

How much more can we take?
I cannot keep silent whether the coup attempt was an anarchists’ or Donald Trump supporters I do not know. I served 15 years in the Air force as a chaplain to support and defend the constitution. Trump and Rudy Giuliani’s rhetoric to march to the beautiful Capitol was insurrection and sedition, and they should be prosecuted. I am so saddened and angry, as most of you are.
10 Questions with.Don Peterson Don Peterson
