AARP alert

Dick Benton — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 14:52:24 +0000

I try to be distinctly non-political, but AARP sent me this recently and in my mind it hits all of us in our community and well beyond. I just signed the AARP petition requesting the government, while attempting to fix our budget crisis, to leave Social Secutiry alone. This is what I wrote:

Social Security is based on a promise that if you pay in, you can rely upon an income when you stop working. I “Paid in” for forty-six years and my wife has paid in for forty-four years. I would like to remind our government that FDR did not envision this entitlement to be touched by any decision of Congress, that it would be a means for older people who had reached a certain age to help maintain their quality of lifeafter their active earning years were over.Americans count on Social Security being there when they need it.

Deal with the federal budget deficit in other ways. Make those who should be paying into the system pay their fair share. Don’t dilute the strength of America’s seniors. We have entrusted you younger people with the care of our CITIZENS.

Entitlement means that we are entitled. It is akin to a right, not a privilege.

I want our government to keep Social Security strong for us, our children and grandchildren.

Bear Facts

Dick Benton — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:08:51 +0000

We had a young bear who took down our feeders on July 4th. After the horse was out of the barn, we started taking in the feeders at night and it worked to our advantage at least once, as on Sunday, the 12th, a really big one strolled down our front sidewalk, startling Holly so much she stuttered, “Bear…bear…bear…bear…” which got my attention away from the CSI crime TV show. We tracked the bear around the house and garage twice before he/she headed toward Tony Caretta’s and disappeared. Haven’t seen one since. I still maintain that they look very healthy, but no way can something that size be considered cute.

Your Milton website

Dick Benton — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 02:21:52 +0000

A website is like a beautiful plant. If it is nurtured, it will grow. If not, it will die. I do not write on the website often, but I check it often and I could hope to see others using the site. This is Milton, Connecticut and it is a window to our world. We are, most of us, friends and all of us neighbors. I am your newsletter editor and I hope you are all pleased with the content of your newsletter. I am also a proponent of this newfangled electronic wonder. Let us all contribute. It is my belief that we all have much to say. This is a wonderful forum for the saying.
