Did you turn off the TV?It’s that time of the year when crusaders are out to get you to turn off your TV.Frank Vespe is the executive director of the TV Turnoff Network. The TV-Turnoff Week is the group’s annual event where they try to get Americans to watch less TV for one week.Vespe says there are many ways to get news and information, and most are far superior to television.Of course those of us at the Star Herald are convinced newspapers are the way to go.According to Vespe, participants often tell him they feel out-of-sorts at the start of the week but say they usually "get into the rhythm of the week" and get back to doing things they thought they no longer had time for.Publisher Roger Tollefson can be reached by e-mail at tolly@star-herald.com
