Weekly Blast!: Like so many, today we remember the tragedy of September 11, 2001. There is no possible way not to remember “where we were” when the planes hit the twin towers, the pentagon, the field in Pennsylvania. And those of us old enough to remember when John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King were assassinated. The country was shocked, stilled, shaken. These memories are emblazoned in our collective minds and are meant to be remembered, for as long as mankind persists. We hope. These types of tragedies make our town “problems” seem so small in proportion. Why bicker about road maintenance, ambulance and fire services, or lawsuits for that matter? Why do some of our residents lash out at the very people who are contracted or elected to protect us? What if we were stricken with such enormous tragedy that we had to rely on town officers, first responders, EMTs, firefighters, and law enforcement officers to save all our lives? Would we thank them or continue to criticize them? There’s a lot to think about today. Hug your family, your friends, even your neighbors. Who knows when you might really need them in times of crisis or tragedy. Look at that blue sky today and remember the thousands of lives lost and since 9/11. In sympathy, Sharon
