The following is an editorial from Brenda Conway of Aiken Worship Group published in the Aiken Standard. The original is at http://www.aikenstandard.com/Editorial/0606-Column-protester
By THE VIGILS FOR PEACE

We are glad Mr. Minolfo has noted our Vigils for Peace in the past and are not sure why he no longer sees us on Whiskey Road ("Where Have All the Protesters Gone?" May 18).¬ We are there in heat, cold, rain and snow - as we have been since 2004 and will continue to be, through Republican and Democratic administrations, until these wars are ended. A couple of years ago we moved our vigils from Wednesdays to the first and third Mondays of each month. Perhaps Mr. Minolfo doesn't drive by there on Mondays, which would explain why he no longer sees us.

The Lighthouse PDF Print E-mail


A tiny light is kept behind a glass

A shutter swings and squeaks against the wind

The stone is wrapped in vines, and weeds, and rain

At sea, the ships toss and tack, looking out

For light to guide them from the rocks, towards home.

Alone, asleep, the keeper lays, wrapped up

Against the cold, against the storm, eyes tight.

Up the stairs, behind the glass

Shuttered yet warm

The light waits to be tended

Against the storm.

--Peter Lehman
