This has been one of the best Thanksgivings of my life and it was not because the turkey came out moist or the family got along.
New Year’s Resolution
It’s time for New Year’s resolutions, particularly those about our health. Although gun violence remains the leading cause of death among young people, our most dangerous weapon is still our fork. Forty-five times as many die of chronic diseases linked to a diet containing animal products, sugar, and salt.
Pearl Harbor, Recognized or Forgotten?
There is a large generation who know Pearl Harbor Day only as a holiday, a day off from school, sales with discounts, and banks are closed.
Every Act Helps
I would like to agree with “What a shame” by Frank D. Slason in the Dec. 18 edition of The Lincoln County News. I would like to invite Mr. Slason and everyone else to join me in the coming year by saying nice things to others. Beginning with this year, let us make a point to say “Happy new year” to more people every day.
What would happen next year if everyone started wishing people merry Christmas earlier; perhaps beginning the day after Thanksgiving?
Ignorance
If the ignorance of legalizing the personal use of marijuana in Maine becomes a fact, does this mean the employer who tests job applicants for drugs cannot refuse to hire someone who tests positive?
SIFTING THROUGH THE RUBBLE
As we sift through the rubble of last week’s election, two things are apparent to us.
Ebola
The hysteria sweeping the country about Ebola is completely unwarranted. It’s just bald, unknowing fear. Ebola is almost as difficult to contract as AIDS, and for the same reason.
Storm Takes Power
We’re off to a great start with thousands of homes without power due to our first winter storm of the year. Hats off to Central Maine Power crews for doing the very best job they could restoring power.
BUY LOCAL
We are just about to hit prime time for the retail season and as we do, we urge you to remember our local businesses.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
We have days on our calendar, and rightfully so, that specify times to honor certain groups of people.
Overwhelmed, Touched
I would like to thank all of the people that attended Neil’s celebration of life held on Oct. 18, 2014. I always knew that Neil was a kind and gentle man, but I was overwhelmed by all the people he touched, which was obvious by all the tributes, as well as people in attendance paying their respects.
A Stressful Situation
We have a very stressful situation at our place.
Someone has been taking rocks from our stonewall out front of our house.
Irony
In his letter to the LCN last week, Chris Johnson closes by writing the following: “If you’re fed up with the role of money in our elections…”
THANK A VETERAN
There is never a bad time to thank a veteran.
We set aside two special days of the year specifically for our military: Memorial Day which honors the lost; and Veterans’ Day, which honors the living; but really every day is a good day to be grateful.
