Quite a number of years ago I spent a long afternoon with an encyclopedia salesman. He was polite and persuasive. As a young parent I thought it my duty to hear him out and to consider the potential benefit of an encyclopedia set for my children. After all, it could influence their education. Or so said the salesman, using many more words than necessary to define the myriad virtues of a set of encyclopedia. The price of the books was staggering by any measure, but the availability of the easy payment plan, rolled out in force, was the salesman's answer to that.

Last Sunday, 27 community members got together in three homes to talk about the school bond.
Those “coffees” were just one step in the school board’s effort to seek input about the bond since the election in February.
