Growing veggies in containers
Most vegetable crops can be grown successfully in containers. In fact, some do better in containers. Cathy Cetta will discuss how planting in containers is different from planting in the ground, the types of containers available, what to use for soil, and how to water and feed your plants at 1 p.m. Friday, May 21 at Centerville Library.

In one of the greatest marketing coups in the US government history, the CIA has succeeded at one of the most difficult tasks facing any organization, public or private: It has produced a viral video.
Some wags on Twitter are referring to the video as “Woke James Bond.” The narrative presents a Latina woman and employee of the Central Intelligence Agency with two children, describing herself as a “cisgender Millennial,” a “woman of color,” “intersectional,” and also suffering from generalized anxiety disorder. Not exactly the portrait of a spy from a Robert Ludlum novel.
Former CIA Director Mike Pompeo is not a fan of the video, and some of my friends and acquaintances don’t like it, either. But I could not be happier.
Family Focus Evanston honored residents and organizations during its annual benefit event Thursday.
The event, themed “Evanston’s Black Heroes,” featured students from Family Focus’s after-school program who performed biographies of prominent Black Evanston residents from both the past and present.
Family Focus President and CEO Dara Munson said she is proud of the role that the organization plays in supporting Evanston’s Black community. Its Evanston center has operated out of 2010 Dewey Ave. for over 40 years, serving as a central point of resources and programming for the 5th Ward. Family Focus has since expanded, adding six other centers across the Chicago area.
