Publisher Ponders! October 2008
October 13, 2008
Thanks to all who participate in our monthly poll questions. I must say however October’s results for two of the questions completely took me by surprise to say the least. The questions: Do you want to see the Guardian Hose Company remain volunteer, and would you be willing to make a donation no matter how small. I figured a few no’s were imminent but as it turned out the no’s were overwhelming. So I guess I am pondering why anyone would want their taxes to escalate to yet another unaffordable level. The Guardian Hose serves our community with stellar service, and standards to the same tune as a paid company. Donations no matter how small could mean as little as five dollars, and once again the no’s narrowed the margin far more than I had expected. On a positive note-Thanks to all of the members of the Thurmont Guardian Hose Company for all of their continued support to this community, and saving lives 365 days a year, 24-7. You are priceless! I am still pondering these results.
Make sure you read “Snap, Crackle, Pop!” in Takin’ Care of Business. As promised, a look to why we are using corn to supply energy while depleting our food source, asking the question, who will feed us? If you don’t think this will not affect as, think again, it is already affecting our food supply. Next month we will examine economic conditions and how what is happening nationally, is affecting us right here in Thurmont.
