I thought I heard there is a proposal for the truck stop to go across the street from the Dandy on Church St in Elmira after the Speer project didn't go through.

I have a problem with this. What was done to the Aftrican Americans was awful, but what happened to the Native Americans, Irish, Catholics, Italians, was just as bad. The KKK believed in the National White Protestant Nation. I personally think the Native Americans got the worst deal. They were kind and helped the people assimilate to this land...They believed the land was for everyone to use. We stole it from them piece by piece...If it wasn't for their kindness, the Europeans would not have created sustainable colonies here. How did we repay their kindness? Just sad. No money can correct the discrimination and white entitlement that was the formation of the United States. All we can do is what we are doing now. Give all US citizens the right to the best education through grade 12. Give all US citizens the right to attend a college for further education. Each generation is a little less prejudiced than the one before. We currently are not treating all people equal, but it isn't as bad as Archie Bunker either..The discontinuance of redlining is making it easy for Americans to live anywhere.

I personally think Waltz had that right...When I lived in WV it also worked like that. All children had a free breakfast and a free lunch. In WV, there was even a clothing voucher for low income families. This was used to buy the back to school clothes. It would be nice if all children in NY also had a free breakfast and lunch at school...The backpack program is not run by the districts. It is funded by someone else and just distributed at the schools.

I was stopped by county workman...a county truck was putting the lines on all the roads that were paved in the Town of Southport...So not a Pine City/Town of Southport issue.

Ithaca Shopping Center Sells For Tens Of Millions
Beekeeper replied to Twin Tiers Living's topic in State & Regional News
Trader Joe's, smaller Staples and Bath and Body Works, along with a new REI (Sporting Goods store) are all going in there. It was amazing to me how quickly the Tops logo was removed to make way for REI.- 1 reply

The backpack program sends home meals every weekend for children that qualify for free lunch...I teach in a school where everyone gets a free lunch because so many qualify,but only the ones that qualify and the parents say yes they'd like it, have the back pack of food sent home. It has extra food for long weekends (like this weekend) and vacation weeks. During the summer, school parks have free lunches for anyone interested in stopping by...

My generation doesn't volunteer like my parents did. I am still working but retirement age. On my way to TST BOCES, I have watched an American Legion and VFW close on Rt 13. One is a real estate company now, the other was just demolished. I wonder how long the Moose organization on the main drag is going to last. The networking that happened at these organizations is now happening online.
