Thanksgiving Blessings

By LINDA MOWERY-DENNING
 
Most years, Pete and Alice Donley would be sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner with their daughter and son-in-law in Florida or some other state where their son-in-law was stationed with the military. Instead, the Ellsworth couple was at the local Senior Center, digging into a traditional holiday meal of turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans. And dessert — don’t forget the dessert.

Senior centers eye cutback in days

Senior centers in Ellsworth, Wilson and Holyrood could be forced to cut the days they’re open from five to four if the North Central-Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging doesn’t find about $14,000 a year to pay for mandated health insurance for two cooks who already are covered under other policies. A cutback also would affect home-delivered Meals on Wheels, which also is part of the Friendship Meals Program.
