6 street roots Aug. 5, 2011 Ted Jack treet Roots vendor, volunteer and supporter Ted Jack is headed north to take up fishing in Alaska after many years with the organization. We wish him well in his travels and hope to see him this way again soon. Ted’s involvement with the vendor program began with simply selling the paper, but he expanded his role as a front desk volunteer, cook and overall mentor for the many vendors who pass through our office each year. “To all the people who have supported me through the past years, I thank you. I have sold Street Roots for five years and now it’s time for me to go. I will truly miss my com er on Second and Taylor. You people that support us at Street Roots truly are needed and appreciated. I’m moving out of state to begin a new chapter in my life. This last one was great. Thank you all.” S CENTRAL CITY concern By Nathan Roper T im e By Jason C hanging Lives Time is precious and dear, it goes by too fast No time to enjoy and no time to relax When you want it to stop it will only progress Every minute goes by there may not be another minute left The story of life imprinted in numbers It starts at birth and it’s heavier than lumber Time persistently rolls like a ball down the hill It’s a shame that tíme doesn’t feel If it could, time would come to a halt Time would hurt like an open wound dashed with salt I only wish that this were true Time does not feel like we do.
