Here we go again
The landfill saga, I have always thought it was a
privilege to have all the dumping containers around the
county to dump your trash in without going to town
Over the past weekend we had someone dump
a truck load of trash in front of the blue container in
Oswego so they couldn’t even get to it to pull it out!
Now, this weekend we had another bunch of
trees outside of the holding bin so we had to have our
employee on his day off go clean up the mess.
I would think these outside bins in town are for
trees, leaves, and appliances are a privilege to use after
hours and weekends for the public and not commercial

misconceptions. This year, join us in honoring older
adults’ contributions, exploring the many opportunities
for staying active and engaged as we age, and
highlighting the opportunities for purpose, exploration,
and connection that come with aging.
Additionally, Older Americans Month helps look
at how our elders can remain independent. That’s so
crucial for so many of us. Being independent helps us
keep a level of self-respect and confidence. To encourage
this, especially with this year’s Age My Way theme, there
is a heavy emphasis for elders to look at their access to
medicare and the healthcare providers that will help
them lead their lives on their own terms.
It’s vital we have a regular celebration of older
Americans in our community. Without it, we may forget
to check in on elders, which can mean they become
increasingly isolated from their community as their
health or mobility begins to dwindle.
Finally, when looking at ensuring we have strong
communities around us which assist our elders as and
when they need, OAM also tries to highlight the plight
of our caregivers. Without caregivers, whether they be
caring for those with Alzheimer’s or helping less mobile
individuals many seniors would not be able to lead their
lives as they would want.
