Soon, nothing but cheese

RE: “Stretching to adapt in trying times” [News, Feb. 27]:

I cannot believe what is happening in the town of Grafton. I can understand change, but this new Windham Foundation regime is taking the town away from the people who made it thrive and made it interesting. Visitors and vacationers will always look for more to experience in this tiny village.

There will be nothing left but cheese, and I will not buy it at any place it is available outside of Vermont.

I am sure other frivolous items similarly available from the Vermont Country Store will soon be available in Grafton.

This change has been crude and with not much thought about the aftermath.

Youthful potential should complement, not denigrate, elder wisdom

By
Elizabeth Armstrong
Wednesday, June 26, 2019 — Issue 516

Words and phrases like “old,” “elderly,” “aged,” “past one's prime,” “advanced in years,” “long in the tooth,” “in one's dotage,” “doddering,” “decrepit,” “senile,” “not long for this world,” and “no spring chicken” all describe the older generation, which starts at no precise age. Most of these words are particularly not flattering and do not truly reflect the true nature or competence of this older population, yet these are the only words or phrases that describe this group.
