Admirable Resilience!
fter an amazing fall and initial A start to winter weatherwise, we were
collectively reminded last week of how winter (or at least January) is supposed to present in this part of the world. A tip of The Booster hat goes out to all who dug in to dig out. Your contribution to keeping people and vehicles moving was beyond impressive, particularly considering the bone-chilling low temperatures. In your own unique way, whether you sanded, plowed, blew or shovelled to make life easier for citizens, deserves a round of community applause. Farmers who work tirelessly to keep livestock, including newborn animals, safe deserve (unsolicited) special recognition. To unsung heroes from the power companies, to the technicians who fixed furnaces that went down, to law enforcement, ambulance and fire personnel, to outside construction workers, and others who simply disregarded the icy blast of winter or respect it as a mere inconvenience, thank you for your commitment and for getting the job done.
