Loved ones say a final farewell to Fred Space at Space Farms Zoo & Museum New Jersey Herald WANTAGE — For a man who spent his life working with animals, it was fitting for the late Fred Space to be surrounded by them as family and friends said goodbye to him one last time. A wall of animal heads — along with the hulking taxidermy figure of Goliath the Kodiak bear Space used to feed chocolate bars from his mouth — greeted visitors to the walk through at Space Farms Zoo and Museum Sunday to pay their respects to the zoo's patriarch, who died last week at the age of 92.

More than ever, I feel the hyper-accelerated pace of news in the digital age, the exhaustion of it, the burden on one’s time and attention. It’s enough to make one...

comments Republican officials at the highest level support insurrection, terrorism and treason. They have presided over a political culture that, for many years, has inculcated seditious desires within millions of expertly programmed citizens. The consequences became manifest on Jan. 6 when a rabid mob of neo-Confederates, fascists and associated psychotics took the Capitol by force, perhaps hoping to murder duly elected members of Congress — not to mention the vice president — and install Donald Trump as dictator. As surreal as that summary of recent events might seem, it was not ent...
