Whether you read these words before or after Presidentsâ Day 2021, be advised that Iâm already thinking ahead to Presidentsâ Day 2071.
If you get your jollies reading about the only bachelor president or the first bathtub in the White House, just think how many more milestones and tidbits of trivia will have built up over the next 50 years!
In the next five decades, we may very well see the first female president, the first Hispanic president, the first Asian-American president, the first openly gay president, the first closeted tag-team presidency. (âThe press is lying when they say there are two of us. Oooo . weâd . Iâd . like to give them such a body slam!â)

Incumbent Stephen Tyler Holman reclaimed the Ward 7 City Council seat on Tuesday, winning re-election for his fifth term, election results show.
With all of the precincts reporting, Holman received 55.12% of the vote, C.L Jourden received 6.49% and Monica Marsh received 38.39% of the vote. It feels great now to see all the votes come in, Holman said. I was pretty much a nervous wreck during and after the council meeting, I didn t even leave the parking lot of City Hall.
Holman said it is nice to be able to focus 100% of his efforts back on making Norman a better place for everybody to live in and to make it a more welcoming place for newcomers.
BARTLETT â Candidates for town and school offices will have more time to campaign this election season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
While voting normally takes place in non-SB2 towns on the second Tuesday in March, selectmen in Bartlett plan to take advantage of Gov. Chris Sununuâs Emergency Order No. 83, which allows towns this year to push back town voting and town meetings to as late as July.
Bartlett Selectmen Gene Chandler, Vicki Garland and Gus Vincent voted unanimously Feb. 3 to move the election of officers from March 9 to May 11 at the Glen Fire Station, and to have the annual town meeting on May 13 at the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School.
