Our internet was down since yesterday morning, and just got fixed late this afternoon, so I wasn't able to send out the usual Wednesday stuff. There was a crack in the cable and when we had the hard rain yesterday morning, water got into the crack. Since the non profit events and the ads really didn't change, today I'm just sending out Letters.

Lyn. You and Herbie have been instrumental in providing a vehicle where readers can access town meetings and decide what is truth and what is not. You provide a way for our citizens to make informed decisions. My thanks to you and Herbie. Feel free to post my reply, Lyn. I’m proud of what you guys do for the town.
Michael Krahe Council Member.
Dear Lyn. Congratulations on 10 years of Carefree Truth. I especially enjoyed reading your first issue. That was an awful time. But as they say every cloud has a silver lining. In this case, the creation of Carefree Truth. Thank you for your support and for your fact-based coverage of our Town And our Council meetings. You provide a great service to our community. Here’s to another 10 years.
Cheryl Kroyer
Congratulations on Carefree Truth 10th anniversary. You and Herbie have done a great service for Carefree residents.

I don’t comment often but Carefree Truth along with Herb’s videos continues to be an outstanding communication vehicle for all our residents. It just keeps improving.

Thank you, Lyn and Herb, for all you do. Let's not forget the impact that a young student, AJ Davies, at CSHS had on "the truth" being told through the Sonoran News. Within a short amount of time, the Sonoran News became landfill liner and kitty litter absorbent paper. You are now my community news.
Jay Williams
(Lyn's note: I've been involved with the community since 1997, and I remember well how AJ Davies stood up to the Sonoran News, which regularly printed vicious attacks against the local schools. AJ even organized protests across the street from the SN office. I participated in one of them. He was a brave kid to call BS on what was then a powerful entity. Don Sorchych brutalized that kid in print but AJ stood tall.)
Lyn,
Congratulations to you and Herbie. I remember the false recall attempt on David Schwan, a very good mayor and a very very good man.
Thank you

Lyn and Dr Herbie:
Many, many, congratulations on the eve of the 10th Anniversary of Carefree Truth and may there be many more anniversaries in the years to come.
Growing up in the UK during and post WWII, my father believed in the Conservative Party and my mother followed the Liberal Party, I would often hear issues debated. Bear in mind that the UK Liberal Party was a less right-leaning group than the Conservatives (the party of Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher). Both were in opposition to the Labour Party. In my early years, without television, we relied upon the radio and newspapers. While the newspapers often had a bias, they would still present opinions from both sides, giving the reader information from which one could make up one’s own mind. Only the “Editorial Page” would promote one side, offset by the “Op Ed”.
In my youth, voting age was 21. It changed in 1969 to 18, but, by then I was in the USA thanks to the election in 1964, of Harold Wilson (a socialist Labour Party head) as Prime Minister. My mother re-named him “Take it all, Harold” for his promises to give people everything but forgetting to tell them that he was going to increase taxes to pay for it. It was Harold Wilson who changed the voting age to 18. Some say it was because the polls said that younger people would vote Labour, while others said it was done to recognize the age that people could enlist in the military.
My first two years in the USA were spent in Washington DC, where one had to learn about politics and who one thought was telling the truth. It didn’t take too long to understand that “facts matter”.
I applaud Carefree Truth for reporting facts. I can get thoughts and opinions from friends, family, the television and the Internet. If I don’t like what I am reading in Carefree Truth, I can click on the link and watch the video to not only hear what was said, but the emotion behind the words.
Is there going to be a party? Just tell us where and when!
Arthur Gimson
Thanks Lyn for posting the link, and a special thanks to Herb for taking the video and posting it on vimeo. All of us who are blessed with being on your list to receive your news letter owe both of you a debt of gratitude for all you do.
