    Antioch College’s next president, Thomas Manley, has a quiet, even gentle voice. He’s not afraid of the thoughtful pause, both before and after speaking. He weighs his words like the student of poetry that he is — Kenneth Rexroth is a particular love.

  • A lone ranger for Glen Helen

    Susan Smith is Glen Helen’s full-time ranger. Her daily routine entails the work of a peace officer, ecologist, guide and land steward, and her background makes her especially suited to the job. The Glen has always been a special place to her, she said, so despite the occasional trouble she has to attend to, the chance to be a ranger in a place so personally meaningful is a rewarding and emotional opportunity.

    The quiet hum of natural life is a powerful force, said George Bieri, the Glen’s land manager, and the Glen offers many people the opportunity to immerse themselves in the solace it affords.

  • Painter Travis Tarbox Hotaling— Visions of birds at the Brewery

    Travis Tarbox Hotaling worked in his studio on a painting of a heron for his upcoming show “Birding is Hard,” which will open at the Yellow Springs Brewery on Nov. 25, with a reception on Saturday, Nov. 28, from 3–5 p.m. His oversized paintings are a nod to the “involved and elusive” practice of birding while portraying the complex and fascinating personalities of his subjects.
