	Memorialize D-Day
	How many times must every American be reminded of D-Day? Not as many times as soldiers sacrificed their lives for love of country.
	Notes From The Right
	Just a couple of things from the May 26 paper…
	Boo, Artvoice
	I applaud any story that promotes the concept of eating locally, after all it’s not only healthier, but provides economic stability to our region’s agriculture sector. However, with over 8,000 farms in Western New York, prime soil ratings, and a growing number of CSAs, urban farms and farmers markets, I cannot fathom why Artvoice would choose to dedicate column inches to a story focusing on farmers from Rochester and the Hudson Valley (Harvesting New York). Even if one were to argue that the story (based on its title) included all of New York State, it is irresponsible of the author (and Artvoice) not to devote some effort to shedding light on the talented growers here in our own community.
	You Should Stop Eating Meat
	USDA’s new MyPlate dietary logo illustrates graphically the shrinking role of meat and dairy products in our national diet. It replaces meat with a tofu loaf, and shunts dairy off the plate.
