‘I Want to Meet My Teacher’
When you look a little deeper into why South Orange–Maplewood stayed remote, the conversation starts to get fraught and tongue-tied. This is because the argument about in-person school is layered on top of the preexisting debate about race and school. National surveys suggest that Black parents tend to be more reluctant to send their children back to class. “They are more cautious about reopening, because they not only understand COVID but have borne the brunt of it,” said Khadijah Costley White, a Rutgers University communications professor and the founder of SOMA Justice. She is Black and has been opposed to reopening the district. “One of my friends lost her husband,” White told me the first time we talked. “We had to go outside her house and watch her sob next to her children.” A month later, White told me that COVID had just killed her uncle. … [Read more...] about ‘I Want to Meet My Teacher’

Anchor Distilling rides cocktail wave with whiskey
Maytag's new challenge is keeping up with demand. Whiskey enthusiasts come knocking on his brew-house door clamoring for more, which makes the distribution process all the more important and sacred. Maytag chose family-owned SoCal distributor Young's Market Co. with the same deliberate focus and care he uses to select everything ranging from malt to barrels. Young's will work closely with Maytag's team to identify the accounts that have supported Anchor Distilling from the beginning. Reminiscent of cult wine followings, where extremely limited amounts of market-hot wines are allowed into specific distribution channels, "We're lucky enough to feature one of the brands that makes our job easy," said Blake Sgamba, Young's sales manager. … [Read more...] about Anchor Distilling rides cocktail wave with whiskey
