Loren Lippincott, District 34 Senator During this last legislative session the term “woke” was being bandied about the legislative floor like a birdie in a badminton game. One day a senator suddenly stood up and demanded the word not be used any longer! I thought to myself at that moment how typical – if I don’t agree with you, I’ll just shut you down.

A short time ago I had the privilege of reading the meanings associated with the folding of the American Flag to some elementary students at the Fullerton City Library. I was sincerely touched by their attention and reverence as the American Legion Veterans folded Old Glory. Duty and respect are always awe-inspiring regardless of who displays it!

Editor: Someone should get the pond west of swimming pool drained, it used to be a good spot to go fishing, but all I see is a lot who fish there spend most of the time fixing broken lines after losing hooks, weights, etc.! Even me losing a lot of fishing gear! I’m sure a lot would appreciate it, even me, so we can fish again I am sure game and parks would restock pond. Can we get a response and thanks! Mr.

Loren Lippincott, District 34 Senator Happy 247th birthday America! You set another world record! No other nation in recorded history has had a single form of government for as long as ours has. Since our Constitution went into effect in 1789, France has seen 15 constitutions come and go.
