CROP Walk to be held on Sunday
The 54th annual Gage County CROP Walk is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 29 at 2 p.m. at the east edge of Hannibal Park. The walk supports the mission of Church World Service as a response to hunger and poverty. Noel Ditmars said CROP started many years ago in the community. “I think it’s interesting that when CROP started it wasn’t just money,” he said. “The six-mile round trip walk represents the distance many people walk each day to find food and water,” Riedesel noted.

EarthTalk: Why do environmentalists hate fracking so much?
Dear EarthTalk: Why do environmentalists hate fracking so much? -- Millie C., Pittsburgh, PAFracking, short for hydraulic fracturing, is a method of extracting natural gas. This is because most conventional natural gas reservoirs that can be extracted using traditional methods have been depleted. In 2001, 25% of U.S. natural gas was extracted via fracking. After the natural gas is collected, the used fracking fluid, known as flowback, is removed and stored in an underground well.

Hater Tuesday: “Barbie” Was Bad
When Barbie premiered in theaters last summer, I, like many other women, rushed to see it during opening week. Another widely discussed scene in Barbie is when Margot Robbie, playing stereotypical Barbie, is talking to an older woman and tells her that she is beautiful. Leaderboard 2The most explicit continuation of surface level feminism is the entire plot of “weird” Barbie. She is ostracized by the other Barbies for her differences, and referred to interchangeably as “weird” and “ugly” Barbie. And isn’t that the age old story of women so much more than Barbie is?
