  • Deputy City Clerk Searches for Pool Staffing Solutions

    Tracy Thompson, The Times|Oct 3, 2019

    Staffing a small-town pool has proven to be a difficult task for the City in recent years.

  • Tech Talk: Images

    Brianna Wray, The Times|Oct 3, 2019

    There are several factors that contribute to the way an image looks in print. Digital images have the added bonus of illumination behind the image, defining edges and sharpening image quality by default. JPEG files compress their data to achieve a smaller, more portable file size. Likewise emailing images imposes upon them compressions that affect the quality. This compression is accomplished by discarding some of the data that comprises the image. Each time a JPEG is opened and re-saved in the...

Very good and so good for you. This tuna recipe came to my email from Allrecipes.com. I like...

  • Art Squared Weekend Joins Artists and Collectors

    Brianna Wray, The Times|Oct 3, 2019

    One of the most unifying qualities of art is that every viewer has an opinion. Our opinions are determined by all manner of factors and preferences, but once established those artworks speak to us. Once the conversation is open, it never quits. Typically this connection is made in quiet, reverent museum halls, but at ArtSquared, the connections are made much more quickly. And the quest to bring home a prized piece is boisterous, with collectors circling their quarry. In 6" x 6" ArtWalla artists...
