Letter: Where has real political dialogue gone?

The political arena has changed over the years. At one time, political sides were identified by issues. Matters were debated thoughtfully. Slowly standards changed. Real political dialogue was lost in angry, accusatory rants.

Letter: Delaware can figure out flag policy

0

I am writing in response to the March 8 letter, “Why city flag ordinance is needed.” The writer, Mr. Acker, proposed that the City of Delaware revise its flag and banner policy to limit flags (and, apparently, banners as well) flown on city light poles to the national, state and city flags. He purports that flying anything else would cause division in the city.

It shouldn’t take a train derailment for elected officials to put partisanship aside and work together for the people we serve and not corporations like Norfolk Southern.

Thoughts on city’s flag policy

0

On Feb. 27, the Delaware City Council discussed changes in its policy for flying flags and banners on city-owned poles. I am concerned that council may adopt guidelines specifically designed to avoid allowing Pride flags or banners to be flown on city poles during June, globally recognized as Pride Month. In my view, allowing such Pride displays in the policy wouldn’t be an issue if it weren’t for residents who vocally oppose such displays based on their religious perspectives or personal prejudices.

Recipes can be difficult to follow

0

There’s old-fashioned recipes that have been around for decades, then there’s the new concoctions that leave me amazed at places a good imagination can take a person. Then you have people like me who have a difficult time even following a recipe! When I open a cookbook and pick a recipe, I have a hard time doing exactly what it says. If it’s cooking, I’ll be thinking, oh, I could add a dash of liquid smoke, a pinch of onion powder, or some extra salt. When it comes to desserts, I always found joy in what I called “Daniel-izing” the recipes to make them match hubby’s taste buds.
