Thanks for support of flag pole project

You may remember reading an article Sept. 19 about my Eagle Scout project, which was putting up a flag pole at the Georgetown Fire Department in Lake Cicott. My project could not have happened without the people and businesses that contributed. Here is a full list of all who donated to the project: Enyeart Realities, Logansport Home Depot, Carter's Concrete Blocks Inc., American Tool Time, Artrip Welding, Mix 102 & Matthew Paul, Pharos-Tribune, State Sen. Randy Head, Kevin & Bridget Enyeart, Randy Patty, Jeff Stevens, Kent Morehead (The Driveway Guy), Jerry & Dena Gibbs, Gerald & Sherry Gibbs, Ron & Connie Neal, Roger Spencer, Tonya Gundrum Smith, Gary & Sharon Rudolph, Mary Handy, Dennis Settlemyre, Rod Lytle, Dave Armick, Rick Rottet, anonymous donor (flag pole).

I would like to thank them all for their help. I would also like to take this time to mention to other young men out there that joining a Boy Scout troop is a great group to get into. You will learn how to survive outdoors, working with others and helping your community. You’ll also learn leadership skills among many other lessons in life.

I would also like to mention the Civil Air Patrol. This is a military program that I am also involved in, and it teaches all the same traits that I mentioned the Boys Scouts teach. Both of these organizations help young men to prepare and become men. I would recommend that you look into joining one of these groups.

Again I would like to thank all who helped me with the project. I would also like to say thanks to all my Boy Scout leaders who helped me get here. Thank you.

More than just an extra day off
Monday is Memorial Day, a time when the nation pauses to remember those who have given their lives in defense of the freedoms we all enjoy. It’s great to have a long weekend, but let’s not forget the holiday’s original meaning.

The U.S. Postal Service is scaling back hours at about 13,000 post offices across the country so that it can keep open about 3,700 post offices it had targeted for closing. Do you support this plan?
