When government fails, it’s the rare public official who says, “Oops. My fault.”
That’s human nature, particularly for officials in the public eye who may have to run for office again. No one wants to be held directly responsible for letting the public down.

Do you wonder what the robins know?
I heard someone this week say, “One robin A not make a spring.” Very true. But inevitably, that thought must be followed by a question. How many robins does it take to make a spring?
This is very important, because we all need to know when it’s alright to pack up the flannel shirts and bring out the shorts.
It may seem unimportant to some people, but it is not.
We can’t decide it is spring just because the date on the March calendar says it is.
According to the calendar, spring is just a few days away.
And we have definitely gone on Daylight Saving Time, that invention that is celebrated by some and cursed by others.
The peony on the walkway thinks spring has come, because its

Irish dishes make the day
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
St Patrick’s Day is here, and on this day we celebrate all that is Irish, whether or not that’s part of our ancestry.
This year I wanted to focus on something other than corned beef and cabbage, although that’s an authentic main dish for an all-Irish celebration, because there are lots of other foods the Irish embrace.
So let’s embrace our Irish links, whether real or imaginary, and honor that island by preparing some of these classic dishes.
