Era of the American Lawn Is Over: Rich Britons in the 1700s were in part responsible for popularizing lawns in the first place. Makes you wonder: If Americans got the idea from Brits, maybe we can be inspired again, this time for something wilder, freer and alive. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...

They turned grief into action. The DeRosas lost their daughter to a 6x DUI offender. They fought for a stronger DUI prevention ignition interlock law in PA. Their advocacy helped pass HB1862, signed by Gov. Shapiro in July. This story tells their powerful advocacy. www.delcotimes.com/2026/08/10/d...

The new law streamlines the application and installation of the interlock. It passed both house of the Pennsylvania by overwhelming margins.
