RE: My Kid is not fat By Ken Lewis June 06, 2014 In response to this subject of child obesity and how Ketchikan turned down a chance to have Big Brother show us the way to healthier life styles for our children... Please, not just Ketchikan, but SE AK wake up. Bill Sheffield, the worst governor in AK history, consolidated time zones for the railroad that he worked for. In so doing, he stole an hour of afternoon (according to the clock) recreational daylight from SE AK's families! The sound science of time zones was ignored for the convience of a few. And nobody asked our kids if they would prefer to do less after school, nor did SE Alaska voters, vote to give time to this PHAT CAT. It was arrogant government that played god with our afternoon daylight... And now we need Government to come show us how to be active? How about this. Show some kahones, show it's not just lip service that we care about this issue, and demand we get our once usable daylight back for every SE Alaskan family to use as they see fit. In 1983 the VCR was new, you could not order a part for a boat using a smart phone and we didn't need lights at the baseball field. The lame excuses for this 1983 time zone change are no longer excuses due to 24/7 internet sales and contact with East Coast businesses. Adults will do anything for children, accept change their convenient schedule. I stole that line from a local named Al. Ken Lewis Received June 03, 2014 - Published June 06, 2014 Related Viewpoint:
