LIBERAL FIRST
Liberal's leading source for news and views
In the lead article of the May 29th edition of the Leader & Times appears a statement by Allegiant Land Services project manager Justin Robinson appearing to speak on behalf of Invenergy and the Thresher wind project by whom his company is engaged, “… the Thresher wind project … it’s moving into the construction phase at the moment.”
The recent tornado that stretched from Greensburg to Plevna went right through the middle of our farm, missing our house and the farm shop by about a mile. The destruction of neighbors’ homes and loss of livestock is incredibly sad, but our entire community has rejoiced that no human lives were lost. Things can be replaced people can’t.
History is neither myth nor legend. Those are simply views on how we interpret history from our own perspective.
History is but a teacher of fact, of record. History simply tells us in the most objective terms what occurred.
For example, on March 5, 1770, a group of soldiers was being harassed by an angry mob. One soldier was being pelted with snowballs when seven others came to support the soldier, and as the mob confronted the group, shots rang out, and several in the mob were killed.
My husband, Peter, doesn’t believe me, but I didn’t always dress up.
I would dress up for the holidays and for a special occasion, but the definition of “special” was fairly strict. It involved wearing nice shoes perhaps half a dozen times a year.
But I changed professions and identities a couple of times and, somewhere in there, I discovered that I could wear a lot of clothes I never imagined I could wear. And then I met Peter.
I’ve written many times about the governing structure at Seward County Community College, where an elected Board of Trustees oversees our operations and strategic direction. SCCC is a local-tax-supported institution, so this connection to our community through the trustees selected by stakeholders is essential to our mission. In short, local control means your tax money is used to benefit your community.
A broad look at the long-term impact of this system shows amazing progress. A close-up look at our current SCCC Board of Trustees chairman, Ron Oliver, offers a tutorial in how to make a difference in the part of the world you call home.
