Playing connect-the-dots in the night sky created 88 different constellations. 48 patterns were recorded by Greek astronomer, Ptolemy, in 150 A.D. and the additional 40 in 1922. For many years, people have told stories about the stars. In 1972, an image of the constellation Orion was found carved into a piece of mammoth ivory more than 32,000 years old. Stars, stories, and telescope discoveries- enjoy a daylight star party!

Growing up is hard enough without having to face gun violence. In school, kids should be free to focus on learning, but now they have to worry that they may be a victim of a mass school shooting. How can we solve this problem? Stricter gun control laws? Arming teachers? Children in schools are vulnerable and must be protected. This talk will lay out each side of the debate in a reasoned and non-partisan way so that we can come up with a solution that works for Hamilton County.
