It’s difficult to believe it’s been 10 years since 19 terrorists commandeered four aircraft and managed to use them as missiles to attack three buildings while heroes on the fourth plane managed to divert it, causing a fatal plunge into a Pennsylvania farm field.

Dear Editor,
As we approach the 10th anniversary of 9/11, we as Americans collectively honor the thousands that were so tragically taken away on that fateful day. We remember the passengers on those doomed flights, the brave and heroic service of countless police officers and firefighters, and we send our deepest regards to all those who lost loved ones that day.
Dear Editor:
I will tell you why everyone blames President Obama. First of all, he’s a black man. Second, he’s a black man with power.
The GOP has made it known that they want him to fail and they are pulling out everything they can use to try and get the job done.

Fall always brings much agricultural activity, for large and small farms in the region. It is a time to end the summer growing season and the best time to plant grasses and winter crops.
