Doing It on Your Own
The headline of this column could actually be “What to do when your local veterans group doesn’t step up to help other veterans.”
Because, yeah, it happens.
Mostly it’s for compelling reasons — the members might be older (I saw an unofficial citation showing that the average age of American Legion members is their late 60s). For the Veterans of Foreign Wars, it was early 70s. I believe it. Or post membership might have

Reasonable recipes for summer suppers
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
If you’re looking for a meal that isn’t labor intensive and doesn’t take up an entire afternoon to prepare, try one of these dishes.
The barbecue chicken recipe may be the best I’ve ever found for this dish. And the marinated cole slaw is a really nice dish to have on hand because it keeps well for several days and complements almost any meal.
The oven roasted potatoes make a change from the go-to versions, and you may be surprised by how tasty the sauteed green beans are.
I hope you’ll give them a chance.
