June 8

Orchids to

downtown employees who are good neighbors and park away from stores and restaurants so customers can get to them.

RNs Josh, Brandon and Audrey on Tower 2 for the absolute best and most professional care I have ever had at CRH last Friday and Saturday, from Greg.

the Bartholomew County Public Library.

Voelz Body Shop for outstanding service, from a grateful customer.

McDonald’s for correcting an order.

dedicated customers who walk lots of extra steps to shop at Viewpoint Books.

Onions to

the optic cable installers who hit a gas line on our block requiring a fire department run and service by the gas company.

not knowing that veterans do have a celebratory month — November.

not realizing that if a nation goes into default that will make economy become worse than it is now.

those organizations who continue to employ, with a slap on the wrist, the school employee and a political representative.

not knowing veterans have twice as many celebratory months as Pride: May (National Military Appreciation Month) and November (National Veterans and Military Families Month).

people not realizing there’s not enough money to protect everyone from everything and if you can’t stand the risks involved with a job, you might want to find a safer one.

solely blaming Congress for this country’s financial woes when the Senate and president signed off on it.

the elected official who denied protection to someone who needed it and now wants it for himself.

asking someone to fire employees to be able to afford more security yet throwing millions at a ball diamond.

columnists and submitters who appear to be living in an alternate universe.

the continued raising interest rates by this administration to try to reduce inflation a couple points and not cutting spending which has caused a negative effect on our economy.

Happy Birthday to

Patty Fields, from your family, Sharon, Ron and Donna.

Sheryl Smith, from your family, secret sisters and coworkers.
