Review by Robert McCool
Richard Powers' (Gain, The Goldbug Variations) 11th novel is titled “The Overstory”, ISBN 978393635522, and it displays his powerful storytelling in his best effort to date.
Barbara Kingsolver (The Poison Bible; Unsheltered,a Novel) has called the book, “Monumental.... A gigantic fable of genuine truths.”
After a four-month-long major remodeling project, the wait if over.
Tavern 101, on Ada’s Main Street, re-opens tonight (Monday, July 20) with a limited menu, according to Beth Ann Bass.
“The limited menu gives our staff a chance to ease into the updated menu an new facility,” said, adding, “We are very pleased with the results and we hope you will be too. We ask for your patience and understanding with our reopening and all the new guidelines that we are required to follow per Gov. DeWine.”
There’s a comet overhead in the Bluffton sky. This week is a good week to try to view it.
The comet is called Neowise. It has passed behind the Sun and is now heading back out of the solar system. Between now and the end of July should be a good time to see it.
Just after sundown, look a little bit west of due north. We would call this north-northwest (NNW). If the sky is too bright to see the Big Dipper you may want to wait until it gets darker. But, if you wait too long after sundown the comet might disappear below the horizon.
