Día de los Muertos celebrates the life of the deceased while easing the grief of the living

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:49:19 GMT

When his father died about two decades ago, Dr. Mathew Sandoval built a colorful altar in his honor and decorated it with flowers, candles and personal items. The altar, part of the ancient Día de los Muertos tradition, helped the then-21-year-old cope with grief.“Essentially, it gave me tools with which to deal with this loss,” said Sandoval, a cultural scholar in Arizona. “It was very impactful.”The Mexican holiday of Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a time for people to remember those who have departed. Each Nov. 1-2, the holiday celebrates their lives with ofrendas, or altars, comical skeletons, music, dance and plenty of sweets and food. And although the tradition is filled with joy, it also comes with the mental anguish of confronting death.“That’s the duality of Día de los Muertos,” said Sandoval, who teaches at Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University in Phoenix. “That’s what makes some people hes...

NEW MONTH, NEW FALL FRONT

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:49:19 GMT

Happy November, South Florida!Hopefully everyone had a great Halloween! October in South Florida ended as a hot one. We saw temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s the last few days with record heat across some South Florida locations on Tuesday afternoon. And while these temperatures are more like summer, South Florida knows that it won’t be in vain. This morning we woke up to warm and humid conditions once again as our temperatures were in the mid to upper 70s. We also saw a few showers offshore as a weak Fall front pushed through South Florida.A weak front is forecast to bring some changes to the forecast. I know a person’s mind usually thinks of ‘cooling’ when we hear the phrase ‘front bringing changes’. But this front will be a little different. While this ‘fall front’ has brought much cooler temperatures across the rest of the state, for South Florida it will help knock temperatures down a few degrees. Overall, milder temperatures i...

Column: Rangers-Diamondbacks World Series continues a disturbing trend of diminishing audiences

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:49:19 GMT

Seven years ago Thursday the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians staged an epic Game 7 of the World Series that averaged 40 million TV viewers.The once-in-a-lifetime win by the Cubs led MLB and Fox to crow that the game was healthier than ever, and who could dispute them after an audience like that?It was the most-watched World Series game in 25 years, since the Minnesota Twins beat the Atlanta Braves before 50 million viewers in another Game 7 in 1991. The 2016 Cubs were a likable, young team that figured to be back again, and around the league, team executives plotted their own rebuilds to emulate Chicago’s success. But that didn’t happen. The Cubs’ win in ’16 turned out to be a blip, not only for their hopes of creating a dynasty but for baseball’s resurgence on the national sports scene.Fast-forward to 2023, a year when new rules were implemented to bring fans a faster-paced game with more hitting and added speed on the base paths. It was an instant ...
