Recently we passed the Halloween day. Hopefully everyone wasn’t scared to bits. I have been packing silage (chopped corn for livestock). The corn we are cutting has stocks over twelve feet tall. The corn field wraps around the pit I’m packing with about 220 degrees. One does not know what lurks in the corn or will escape! It is like a movie where the suspense has you at bay. Maybe the truck drivers exiting the corn with loads of silage are the unknown?! The unknown has me safe (or does it) at the moment. With Halloween comes some of your favorite candies... mini-sized. I usually buy a bag of candy corn this time of year (go figure, during corn season??). Most of the time the candy is really fresh. I bought a bag of Brach’s brand candy corn. They were a little harder than I expected. So, as I was looking at the back of the bag, I read the ingredients. Of course, corn syrup is one of the main ingredients - what doesn’t have corn syrup these days (that will be another story by itself). As I read down farther I found the bag said, “Product of Mexico.” That may explain why they were a little harder. When I flipped the bag over to the front, it said, “Brach*s - America’s Candy Maker.” Now wait a second! I realize Mexico is part of the Americas (same as Canada), but when people say “Americans” they coin the people of the United States. Maybe I’m getting the Halloween scare? Maybe the candy company is giving me false advertising? Maybe the company is going on its past reputation? Maybe they are outsourcing to extremes? Maybe... I see similar labeling in all kinds of products - too numerous to list. But, one example is Mountain Dew soda. Currently they have Mountain Dew Kickback. Basically it is the original Mountain Dew with sugar instead of corn syrup. Are they NOT trying to sell the Mountain Dew Kickback? The name alone suggests soda not accepted, inferior product, or seconds, as one may say. Are they setting the sales up to fail because they don’t want to change? (probably not discussion you’ll find at the kitchen table). Whether it is made in America or it is back to the original state of sales, people should stop and smell the roses, or in these cases, read the label. I think the American people should not be afraid to come out of the cornfield, so they know what’s what. There was a time when the American people had a say in matters. Now they hide behind the masks. Halloween isn’t just a one day event, but an everyday occurrence. SCARY! This is my “Cup of Tee” on edge.

Why Veterans are Important to Our Nation’s History and Future
by Paige Phillips “Here Lies a Soldier Known Only to God.” I read this epithet with a lump in my throat as I stood amidst a sea of 9,387 white crosses. I was visiting the Normandy American Cemetery located in Colleville-sur-Mer, France. It was even more sobering as I pictured more cemeteries like this all over Western Europe and in the United States. We will never know the wisdom these Veterans could share, but their sacrifice provides great perspective. Fortunately, we are blessed to have many Veterans still with us today who can share their experience and wisdom, if only we will heed their words. I am one of the fortunate Americans. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to live overseas in Japan and Europe, to visit other cultures and see many battlefields. My family has had strangers approach us, thanking us for what Americans sacrificed to save their country. I have seen bunkers and bombed buildings left untouched in the Belgian countryside as a reminder of what happened. WWII is still very fresh in the mind of those in Europe. Likewise in Japan, I had a glimpse of the long term effects of nuclear radiation, watching the Fukashima Reactor meltdown and the aftermath. I thought about the difficult decision President Harry Truman, a Veteran and President in the White House, had to make regarding the approval to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I had these experiences because I am fortunate to live with a Veteran. I am also fortunate to have a long lineage of Veterans in my family. Four of my great- grandfathers fought in WWII and Korea, my grandfathers in Vietnam, and my father, who is still in the US Navy, through the end of the Cold War and ongoing Global War on Terrorism. I get to hear their stories of mistakes and victories, their opinions of past and current American policies and actions, and their advice on decisions I make. Their wisdom is deep and comes from the experiences they had, the lessons they learned and the people that touched their lives. I write to share the importance of Veterans because most Americans have not had the opportunity or the connection to those that sacrificed over time to start and keep our nation on this grand “Democratic Experiment”. Our nation’s democracy can only be preserved with great respect for providing a common defense. Throughout recorded history, nations weakened by an overlooked or ignored fight-
ing force were overrun and destroyed. The Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Persians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Romans all, at one time, ruled the known world. They all fell because they neglected their fighting forces or used them beyond their capacity or against the advice of their generals. History shows us that those who do not learn from past mistakes will repeat them. Only short sighted people do not see the absolute necessity of a strong and equipped “standing army”. What do Veterans tell us every day, and why is it important? Veterans have seen the worst in people through the horrors of war. They have seen the best in people through camaraderie, loyalty and dedication to each other and their country. As they train side by side, racial boundaries disappear, the city slicker and the country boy are equal, and the rich kid is on the front line next to the poor kid. It is often said that the military is the least racist of communities in the United States because of the camaraderie and ultimate dependence on one another. Not only combat, but daily, disciplined, and strenuous training teaches them that people are what really matter. They join together in fighting for something bigger than themselves. Many sacrifice everything for their country. They know that freedom is not free. They know freedom requires responsibility and ownership of the consequences caused by your choices. They have seen people of other nations yearn for this freedom. They served or still serve because they believe in preserving and defending that freedom. Veterans defend our nation so we will have a future. They have lived through our history and can prevent us from repeating past mistakes, making poor short term decisions, with grave consequences, and guide us in future enduring choices. So I will end where I started, standing in front of a white cross. This time at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington D.C., the cross bears the name of my grandfather, the grandfather I never knew. I may not be able to hear his wisdom and experiences, but I have Veterans all around me, relatives and non-relatives, that I can hear. All of us do, if we would listen. Citizen soldiers have been the backbone of every great nation. They were and are those who willingly go and serve. They are our only protection. Without them our nation would have fallen many times. They are the United States Veterans.

Letters to the Editor
This year’s Harvest Festival was a huge hit! There was an amazing turn out and everybody came prepared to have loads of fun. There was so much to do and see, it was quite obviously delightful for the kids. The adults were more than happy to come together, and there was a great sense of community in the air. The bounce house was a major attraction for the little kids, and some of them could be found inside it for the entire night. Thank you to the city of Fairfield for generously donating the use of the bounce house for the festival! The activity booths were busy all night, with all sorts of goodies and prizes to be had. There were happy faces everywhere you looked. We can’t thank our sponsors enough for their time and amazing contributions that made this event really awesome.

Which could only mean that the sophomore class did a frighteningly good job at spooking the pants off of anyone who dared enter. Thank you sophomores, Mike and Rhonda McFadden, and Roxanne Bell for adding such an amazing facet to the festival. Great job! The 8th grade and their walking tacos stand kept a heavy business all night and after tasting one, it’s no surprise as to why. Thank you for feeding us all so spectacularly 8th graders! Also, thank you to the community members who bought a walking taco or beverage from the 8th graders. We’ll get them on that trip to Washington DC in no time! The free cotton candy offered by the PTO was gone by 7:30 so its safe to say that it went over well! In addition to giving out free cotton candy the PTO received several money donations at the stand. The PTO would like to thank all of you who donated money to our cause. Keep a look out for the PTO donation bucket at all events we are holding or participating in. Finally, we would like to thank all the members of the PTO and any other volunteers that made this year’s harvest festival one of the greatest. We have so much gratitude for all of you who helped set up and clean up. Thanks to all the sophomores and any other student who helped haul straw bales and any of the other heavy lifting we needed at the time, we couldn’t have done it without you. It is always humbling to witness what a
