Of course that is twice the number of books we usually read\, but to gether the page total falls short of some individual titles selected – m ost recently\, Karen Armstrong’s Fields of Blood.\n\nIt should be noted that How God Changes Your Brain is NOT a religious tract or attempt to con vert anyone. To quote Amazon.com\, “. . .the authors make a case for the interface between spirituality and neuroscience.” Although very readabl e\, the book I found to be very stimulating and challenging. The Brain pre sents multiple views about the make-up of the brain and its functioning. S ince there is no “author”\, it can be difficult to find.\n\nTo me it m akes sense that the discussion be facilitated by the persons who recommend ed these books: e.g. GG Jacobsen (How God Changes Your Brain) and Gus Uhli ch (The Brain).\n\nFrom previous encounters it is clear that each is very familiar with these books. Any “discussion stimulators” (questions\, r eflections\, etc. to be considered at the meeting) should be sent to me as early as possible\, to tforb@core.com or (for GG &\; Gus\, neither of whom is on the internet) to 510 W Jefferson\, Petoskey\, 49770.\n\nAlso\, please send in your suggestions for our December meeting. Per our prior de cision\, this meeting would take place on Sunday\, December 11 – not the usual fourth Sunday due to the holiday season. For that meeting I nominat e: Don’t Even Think about It: Why our Brains Are Wired to Ignore Climate Change\, by George Marshall – which among other features considers fact ors of evolutionary psychology.\n\nFinally\, I am discontinuing my coordin ator’s role in this group. The role consists primarily of receiving and passing on any information (logistics\, books suggestions\, discussion sti mulators\, etc.) to the 25 or so persons on the list. Hopefully someone wi ll step forward to assume this role no later than at the next meeting. Tha nk you!

We had a somewhat lengthy and far-reaching discussion about Ten L essons for a Post-Pandemic World by Fareed Zakaria – although we did not actually discuss every “lesson”.\n\nFor out next meeting\, set for 1: 30 p.m. Sunday\, July 25\, we selected The Human Cosmos: Civilization and the Stars by Jo Marchant by consensus (almost!). You can find it in the Pe toskey Library.\n\nAll of us preferred that our July 25 meeting take place “live” - i.e\, face-to-face without Zoom. As previously reported\, I had booked a room in the Carnegie Building. The space should be sufficient ly large to allow twenty of us to maintain safe distance from each other. An option preferred by some of us consists of the large meeting room in th e Library basement. While its safe-distance capacity is smaller\, restroom s are on the same floor and more readily accessible.\n\nBy the time of the meeting all of us will likely have had the opportunity to receive the Cov id vaccine. Just in case\, masks would be required for meeting attendance. \n\nThe in-person option is subject to change. Only 20% of those on our ma iling list attended today's meeting\, and I can understand that some of yo u might have safety-related inhibitions about a face-to-face discussion. P lease let me know about your preference for face-to-face versus Zoom\, esp ecially if you strongly prefer the latter.\n\nFinally\, feel free to sugge st any non-fiction work which you think would be a “good read” for our October meeting.

Go to www.Michigan.gov/Adopt AHighway for more information.\n\nLANSING\, Mich. ­- Volunteers will f an out across lower Michigan to give state highway roadsides their annual spring cleaning beginning Saturday as groups in the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Adopt-A-Highway (AAH) program pick up litter from April 23 to May 1.\n\nThe first AAH pickup for the Upper Peninsula will b e later\, from May 7 to 15\, when spring has had more time to set in.\n\n" We want to acknowledge the valuable service these thousands of Adopt-A-Hig hway volunteers provide each year keeping our roadsides clean\," said Stat e Transportation Director Paul C. Ajegba. "Their commitment to their commu nities makes a huge difference across Michigan. We also remind motorists t o keep an eye out for the volunteers and drive cautiously during the picku p periods."\n\nThe AAH program began in Michigan in 1990. Today\, around 2 \,900 groups have adopted more than 6\,000 miles of state highway. In a ty pical year\, these volunteers collect 60\,000 to 70\,000 bags of trash ann ually\, an estimated $5 million value for the state.\n\nVolunteers pick up litter three times each year. Statewide\, there will be a summer pickup f rom July 16 to 24 and a fall pickup from Sept. 24 to Oct. 2.\n\nAAH groups wear high-visibility\, yellow-green safety vests required by federal regu lations when working within a highway right of way. MDOT provides free ves ts and trash bags\, and arranges to haul away the trash. Volunteers includ e members of various civic groups\, businesses and families. Crew members have to be at least 12 years old\, and each group must number at least thr ee people.\n\nSections of highway are still available for adoption. Groups are asked to adopt a section for at least two years. AAH signs bearing a group's name are posted along the stretch of adopted highway. There is no fee to participate.\n\nSeveral landfills in southwestern Michigan are also chipping in to help the AAH program. Westside Landfill in St. Joseph Coun ty\, C&\;C Landfill in Calhoun County\, Orchard Hill Landfill in Berrie n County\, Southeast Berrien County Landfill near Niles\, and Republic Ser vices Gembrit Circle Transfer Station in Kalamazoo have all agreed to acce pt trash generated by the three annual AAH pickups at no charge.

It was suggested this time by Kim Nowack af ter I'd suggested it four months ago. Thus Kim gets first dibs to facilita te our discussion\, starting 1:30 p.m. Sunday\, July 24\, again in the bas ement classroom at the Petoskey Library. You will also have the option of joining us via Zoom. Defund Fear is the 2022 UUA Common Read\, so it shoul d readily be available from the Bookstore at UUA.org.\n.\nThe selection vo te was the closest yet during my tenure as Book Group coordinator\, just b arely winning out over Utopia for Realists: How We can Build an Ideal Worl d by Rutger Bregman.
