Sunday February 14, 2021 - 12:41:00 PM The Berkeley Neighborhoods Council (BNC) is writing this letter because of deep concerns expressed by many Berkeley neighborhoods over the increasing threat to the well-being of residents and the unshakable hope that the year 2021 will provide the opportunity for a fresh start for cities everywhere. While these concerns include the broad spectrum of urban life issues, this letter focuses on existing land use policies, procedures and practices that affect the daily lives of residents in every part of our City. The Berkeley Neighborhoods Council is not anti-development, anti-housing or anti-business, we are pro-people. These concerns have been expressed over a long period of time, mostly at meetings of the Zoning Adjustments Board (ZAB) and on appeals to the City Council. Today, they have grown to the extent that there are increasing calls for a holistic approach
Will children homeschooled during the pandemic be scarred for life? My friend Becky O’Malley, the Berkeley Daily Planet’s editor, has asked for my thoughts on that given my own childhood experience spending years outside a classroom. My missionary parents took me to West Africa in 1948 when I was three first to the Gold Coast, then to Nigeria. Until I went to a mission boarding school at 13, I did most of my learning at home except for second and sixth grade, when we were in the United States on furlough.
Like other children in the mission, I worked my way through the Calvert correspondence courses excited to open new boxes of books and, starting in third grade, reading instructions for each day myself. When I needed help, Mother (who had been a teacher) paused from her office and housework to help.

Sunday January 24, 2021 - 03:05:00 PM Several weeks ago, I was invited to participate in my first podcast an event hosted by World BEYOND War. WBW is a global organization devoted to promoting peaceful alternatives to local and geopolitical conflicts. WBW s concerns have been voiced by none other than Martin Sheen, who appears in a number of WBW videos. Here s one example:
Martin Sheen Talks to World Beyond War
The participants (myself included) were all members of the WBW board. They included: Donnal Walter (Arkansas), Odile Hugonot Haber (Michigan), John Reuwer (Vermont), Alice Slater (New York) and our host, Marc Eliot Stein. We were invited to discourse on matters including Trumpism, cultural divides, the Green New Deal, deeper issues and hopeful solutions. The topic was an assessment of the current and imminent state of the USA. (You can listen to the podcast here.)
