Very soon, the citizens of our village will be called upon to elect two trustees to represent them in the governance of this village. Each of the candidates offers special talents and skills, but each of us has to decide which ones we trust the most to preserve the integrity of the place that we call home, the place that we want to have a sense of community, a civil and active citizenry, where neighbors know their neighbors and where people help each other when help is needed.

It seems to me that the best way to have the things we want is to vote wisely. And I am dismayed to hear people say that they just aren’t going to bother to vote. Please cast your vote on Friday. Please use your talent and judgment to select those candidates whom you trust the most, who will listen to everyone and work to improve and also to preserve the things we hold most dear.
