Note From the Publisher
The American Psychological Association surveyed a sample of the country this fall and found that more than half of our population is experiencing major stress due to this year’ s election. Do we need a survey to know this? The election has left me with the desire for a long hot shower to wash off all the mud slung by both sides.
As we try to recover from the trauma of exposure to such a large degree of negativity let’ s embrace the idea that Brown County is a haven of creativity and beauty. Millions of people flock to this area every year to get a glimpse of small town life and to take in the abundance of nature. Some of us are lucky enough to live here. You can make a living here by doing something creative, like publishing a magazine, writing a book, making whiskey, or making pottery. The beauty that surrounds us, inspires us.
Brown County embodies what is good about this country. It is a small community that comes together to help flood victims or homeless teens, and raises money so students can attend competitions or so families can relocate after a fire. Living here assures me that humans, by nature, are decent creatures.
During this Holiday Season I hope you take the time to savor some slow food downtown and buy some presents that were made here. Make some memories by sharing experiences like the Stuff a Stocking event, or visit the Santa Train in Helmsburg.
Hug your kids often and remind them how much you love them. Love is the only thing that really matters and it is the only thing that lingers after you are gone.
