Wednesday, October 11, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon LETTERS Continued from page 2 in the Portland area. Also, I think the first order of business should be living wages/work options, then affordable housing. Denise Chick s s s To the Editor: Skyler Nash wrote a letter to the editor in the August 23 Nugget criticizing the current federal school lunch program. We appreciate the motivation the author has for wanting our children to be provided with the highest qual- ity food. Skyler Nash and the Sisters commu- nity may be pleased to learn about our schools’ nutrition services. In the Sisters School District, our children receive: • A daily salad bar with fresh fruits and vegetables, in part from the local farm, Seed to Table. In addition, the elementary students learn to plant and harvest their own food. • Nutrition education, presented by AmeriCorps Volunteers, including tasting opportunities, where kids are presented with fruits and veggies they might never have had the chance to try. • Guest parents teaching traditional cook- ing, i.e. last year’s fresh tortilla-making with students. • Freshly made meals such as spaghetti with meatballs, pizzas, breads and hand-rolled burritos are served. Students are given the choice of nonfat or 1 percent milk, with choc- olate milk being available only on Fridays. Great care goes into ordering the freshest food the District can afford. We can always improve the service we pro- vide. Nevertheless, Sisters schools are work- ing thoughtfully to provide the freshest, most nutritious meals possible for our kids. Lisa Dieringer, A Lunch Lady To the Editor: For the first time in my life I am consider- ing buying a gun. I grew up in an Army and law-enforcement family so I am accustomed to weapons and their safe handling, and yet I have always felt uneasy about having one in my own home. Why complicate things? We neighbors will look out for each other in the event of an emer- gency, right? My uneasiness has slowly shifted in the last few months. Lately, I have seen signs appear- ing in front of businesses and homes that begin, “In our America...” These signs are dis- turbing to me. Is it the vacuous virtue-signal- ing in lieu of actual fellowship that is unnerv- ing, or is it the divisive suggestion that more than one America exists? I used to believe that we could rely on each other if things get tough. Now I am not so sure. A CBS lawyer’s tweeted response to the Las Vegas shooting, “I’m actually not even sympathetic bc (sic) country music fans often are Republican gun toters (sic),” feels like a more honest rendering of our community cohesiveness these days. And that leaves me asking which America will consider my fam- ily worthy of mutual support in the event of a disaster? I am not waiting to find out. Jennifer Hills s s s To the Editor: Thanks to the generous spirit of the Sisters community, more than 1,800 pairs of solar eclipse glasses have been shipped off to Astronomers Without Borders for distribution to schoolchildren in Southeast Asia and South America for the 2019 eclipses. The collection was a joint effort by Sisters Science Club, Friends of the Sisters Library, and the Sisters Library.
