"There are funerals where they bring out a boombox and it's so
impersonal. It doesn't honor or celebrate the person, it doesn't touch
souls the way live music can. The way a live human being could move with

energy," said Jayanthi Kyle, as she reflected on what inspired her emerging
work of singing at funerals. Kyle offers the healing power of song to
families who are celebrating the life of loved ones who have passed on.

tenants of contamination testing results, but most chemicals aren't
included in the reporting. The City Council is considering a proposal to
expand the code's reach -- a change many say is long overdue.
