BRIGHTON - Local author Isaac Sandidge has a new book, inspired by a Brighton staple. “The Curse of Brighton Burgoo: A Brighton Legend” is available now. Sandidge, a Brighton resident, wrote the book as part of his Brighton series that started with “The Legend of the Brighton Werecat” in 2020. He explained that he enjoys writing about his hometown and sharing its quirks with the world. “It’s a lot of fun. There’s some history to it, too. There’s some actual information in these stories,” he said. “Being able to take that and expand on it and just kind of let the creative juices flow, it’s a lot of fun.” Sandidge will host a book reading and signing at the Brighton Public Library District. He’ll be at the Brighton Library at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025, and he is eager to meet his fellow Brightonians and share his books. He noted that while there are some “spooky elements” to

Anthropological studies suggest that firelight creates an intimate environment that encourages storytelling, laughter, and a deep sense of connection among participants.

Did you know that the global candle market is expected to reach over $13 billion by 2027? A significant portion of this demand comes from consumers seeking unique, personalized scents that enhance their living spaces. Among these, fall-scented candles hold a special place, evoking warmth and comfort through carefully blended aromas.

Studies in aromatherapy suggest that certain scents, such as cinnamon and vanilla, can reduce stress and improve cognitive

Did you know that leaves can retain their brilliant colors for months when preserved correctly, allowing you to enjoy nature’s artistry long after they’ve fallen? While the fleeting beauty of autumn leaves is often admired outdoors, the ability to immortalize these vibrant hues can transform simple foliage into lasting home décor, craft projects, or even gifts. Preserving fall leaves is both an art and a science, combining careful selection, proper techniques, and a bit of patience. Understanding Why Leaves Change Color Before diving into preservation, it’s useful to understand what makes fall foliage so captivating. Leaves turn shades of red, orange, yellow, and purple due to the breakdown of chlorophyll, revealing underlying pigments like carotenoids and anthocyanins. These pigments, however, are delicate and prone to fading and curling once the leaf detaches from the tree. Preservation methods aim to maintain the leaf’s shape, color, and texture,
