The Holland Report re-designed

The Holland Report has just be re-designed and over the new few weeks will be polished. The new focus will including posting of articles I have written in the past, a place to post music I am creating, commentary on sports, politics, life and anything else I chose to write on in the moment.

I also plan to move into affiliate marketing as I am pursuing self-publishing projects.

Welcome, Spring

It appears we in Iowa are now emerging for a winter that has been stubborn to yield to spring. The past few days have brought weather that allows us to open windows and turn off the furnace.

It quite often is a long waltz into spring, but this winter kept up the winter dance with weekend snowstorms.

Trees should start leafing out soon, just as we finish raking leaves that escaped last fall's collection.

Courier is an outstanding publication you can receive for free through The Stanley Foundation of Muscatine, Iowa.

To order an online or text version, subscribe at www.stanleyfoundation.org.

Feature article in the most current edition (Spring 2018) is about how Cambodians depend upon fish, a disappearing commodity, for their survival. Another story features an Iowa farm that practices a natural way to remove carbon from the atmosphere. The farmer also believes his cows are happier. Still another article features the human element in the machine of warfare.

I believe you will be impressed with the high quality of the magazine, which is published three times a year and mailed without charge, as long as you give a U.S. address. Keith Porter is the editor.

If you go to see "The Miracle Season," bring along plenty of Kleenix. You're going to need them as tears will flow.

The story of the loss of Iowa City West volleyball leader Caroline (Line) Found is one that will make you cry. Just how did West High go on after losing their star in an a moped accident? They did, and with showdowns against crosstown rival Iowa City High as well.

This a must-see, required for living in Iowa City. Having attended both City High and West, it was a joy for me to pull for each school as this tale uplifts spirits all the way to its conclusion.
