- Come together or close says mid-state fire chief – “”I am sad to state but the time has come and we can no longer avoid the inevitable…with the severe lack of volunteers who answer the emergency calls we must decide to close the operation of this fire company and or do an immediate consolidation with another East Pennsboro Township Fire Company.” – PennLive
- Monday is Memorial Day; here’s the history of Memorial Day – US Department of Veterans Affairs Website
- Elected public servants; pay attention to this: “The heartbreak now is soldiers less than half my age, new veterans of a war of convenience, launched and propagated by lies and greed. Daily, I see young people missing appendages, limbs, heavily burned, once again unwitting heroes but certainly heroes, many in need.” – Extracted from a letter to the editor in today’s LNP – Always Lancaster
- Shades of Charlie Hebdo; Teckla gets it: There’s a lot of chatter about this very “tongue-in-cheek” Website and the facetious article about the bridge intended to “by-pass Columbia.”
