Opinion/Letters: Help vaccinate disabled, elderly loners; cancel culture; support arts referendum The Providence Journal
Shut-ins need the vaccine, too
It is astonishing that there has been little or no mention of the need to vaccinate the large portion of the population who cannot get to a facility established for that distribution.
There are many people older than 75 who live alone, who do not have ready means of transport, and cannot stand in line to wait for an injection. The need to vaccinate those people in their homes is obvious. It should have been addressed by state officials months ago when the subject of nursing home visitations was being planned.
Opinion/Letters: Keeping Vietnam vets in our memories; W. Warwick waste-energy project The Providence Journal
Column on Vietnam veteran was riveting
Col. William Babcock s story in Monday s Journal ( Vietnam veteran remembers the horror of friendly fire, News, Feb. 22) was riveting.
But Mary K. Talbot s weekly column features veterans experiences that while gripping, I m always tempted to skip. Why? Because of my guilt: so many of us came through the Vietnam era unscathed while so many of our neighbors, classmates, and family members continue to bear the wounds physically or emotionally (or don t do either because they were lost in a place most of us had never heard of before the 60s).
Opinion/Letters: Kudos to Warwick s new mayor; help our small businesses The Providence Journal
A mayor like our founding fathers intended
I live in Warwick and I’m lucky because my city has finally followed the intentions of America’s founding fathers and elected a regular member of the community to be its mayor.
Our new mayor, Frank Picozzi a former blue-collar worker is much like the farmers, small business owners, and tradesmen who came forward every two years back in colonial times to serve as mayor, state legislator, or in the U.S. Congress for a term or two and then returned to their common-man professions.

Opinion/Letters: Block Island backroom deal ; no need for a special election The Providence Journal
Repulsed by Block Island mediation case
More recent events in our “fair” state make one feel like the character out of the 1976 film “Network” who shouted, “I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore!” No wonder folks are of little faith when they witness inside deals becoming commonplace.
Hospital board members going to the head of the vaccine line under the pretext they are front-line soldiers in the COVID campaign. Unfortunately, this “I Gotta Guy” mini-series is topped most recently by the travel of the Great Salt Pond/ Champlin s Marina “mediation session saga” reported by Jim Hummel in the Sunday Journal ( Backroom deal riles opponents of Block Island marina expansion, News, Feb. 7).
