  • Michalec letter: Transplants bring a lot to the table besides changes

    It is indeed unfortunate that Myrtle Porter “resents these Northern transplants who are changing everything.”
    Many of us transplants are not only responsible for this, but also for our many and varied efforts to improve the lives of the less fortunate in our area.
    It’s people like Myrtle who appreciate those efforts in one breath and then resent us in the next.

    By now, you have probably read the story on page 2 about the investigation into missing money and a missing computer at HOPE in Lancaster.
    If that wasn’t bad enough, there is another pressing problem issue, too.
    The annual Stamp Out Hunger! food drive set for Saturday, May 12, is a godsend for the agency, but you don’t have to take my word for it. Somebody a lot smarter than me once said a picture is worth a thousand words and I had to see it for myself.
