When word got out that a conservative candidate who opposes gay marriage and supports the presence of Christian principles in public schools was running unopposed for the Morgan Hill school board, phones across the city started ringing. Because the incumbent wasn’t running for the seat, the deadline to find another candidate was extended five days — to Wednesday at 5 p.m. Local officials and families started recruiting after The Chronicle highlighted the race in a story about the number of unopposed Bay Area school board candidates, said Claudia Rossi, a member of the Santa Clara County Board of Education. On Tuesday afternoon, Rossi drove a retired school librarian, Terri Knutson, to the county offices to file her candidacy papers. A third candidate, attorney Armando Benavides, also signed up to run for the seat. “Glad isn’t the word,” Rossi said. “I’m relieved.” Knutson and Benavides couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. Dennis Delisle, who wrote a 2012 book … [Read more...] about Antigay, race extremist no longer running unopposed for Bay Area school board seat

Houston has bigger trees, and older ones. But for charisma, nothing beats the Cemetery Oak. It is, of course, a live oak — Houston's favorite tree — and it is, of course, a whole lotta live oak. Sixty-four feet tall; trunk wide as a Volkswagen . Like all old live oaks allowed to grow as they will, its twisty, fern-covered branches stretch farther outward than upward. The lower ones do their darnedest to brush the ground. That ground, notably, is Glenwood Cemetery, a marble-angels-and-Spanish-moss piece of the Old South, a stray piece of New Orleans hidden just off Washington Avenue, about a mile from downtown. It's a place designed for the living to mingle with the dead; a garden punctuated with gravestones. And nowhere do you feel that life-and-death connection more strongly than at the back of the cemetery, in the Forest Mound section, where among graves dating to the 1910s, the Cemetery Oak continues to thrive — a live oak that's very much alive, there among the dead. A … [Read more...] about The mystery of the Cemetery Oak

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 NEW YORK - Christian Amato, a 34-year-old Bronx Democrat who ran a theater company in Greenwich Village before switching to politics, was outlining his positions on the arts and other matters at a sidewalk cafe the other day when his phone rang. "This might be an important endorsement," he said, excitedly. And it was. Local 1, the theatrical stagehands union, was calling to support his campaign for a state Senate seat representing parts of the Bronx and Westchester County, the latest development in a movement to gain political ground for America's more than 5 million arts workers. "That's fantastic. It means a lot to me," Amato said into the phone, between bites of avocado toast. "Listen, I'm on your side. I'm with you in this fight. ... I'll take the logo - and do you need my address? Do you guys do a check with the endorsement?"

Jonah Meadows , Patch Staff Posted | Updated Reply EVANSTON, IL — After moving into a larger location in the midst of the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic, the owners of the artisanal Evanston bakery Hewn plan to open the first satellite location later this year in Libertyville.
