Merry Christmas to Emergency Managers Everywhere! (GovTech)

I've often said that holidays can be disaster magnets. This year, snow, cold, winds, power outages, homeless people on the streets, accidents on freeways, the ...

Maybe not everyone appreciates what you are doing and the level of your dedication—but I do! Buffalo New York—Yikes, maybe four feet of snow and the biggest storm on record—maybe. This holiday has already been a doozy just based on the size and scope of the emergency and disaster.

In the meantime, back to the Spanish language course. Just for the record, folks, this is my first contribution to the Herald in a long time. The CO has become surprisingly fluent in Spanish. Plus, I had to devote much of my time encouraging the winners of the football World Cup. Why the absence? She does have a way with words. If you ask the editor nicely, maybe I can make a ‘comeback’ of sorts. Asking the woman in charge, who did not want her name mentioned, the ‘manager’ told John about the camp: originally a pig farm; it has no ablution facilities; everyone shares what little they have. Hesitant at first, Johnny asked the youngster if she was okay, and where was she going. As John poignantly put it: it was a sight for sore eyes in more ways than one. “Home,” was the reply, at the same time asking Johnny for a lift, pointing in the direction of where exactly ‘home’ was, ‘over yonder hill’. That is exactly why we fancy Uruguay: it’s a beautiful country: peaceful and quiet, no load shedding and plenty of water.

Merry Christmas from the City of Carlsbad (Carlsbad Current-Argus)

As always. Thank you to Carlsbad's many wonderful churches, who provided much-needed support to so many of our residents throughout this past year.

This includes our police officers and our firefighters, as well as local nurses and doctors and other employees of the medical center. As always, our residents with some of the most important jobs in our community will be working throughout Christmas. We see it in the Christmas Anonymous Program and Faith Hope and Love’s holiday program, where children receive gifts for the holidays.
