The confirmed death toll in Haiti’s calamitous earthquake has reached 70,000, and officals speculate the number could reach as high as 200,000.

Today is a holiday for Americans to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King and the timeless values that empowered his revolutionary spirit. It’s a day to remember his dream of a nation united in justice, peace and reconciliation.
While others in the local blogosphere continue to engage in petty arguments, we here at barnstablesewers.com ask that all members of the Barnstable Community count their blessings today. For most of us, this is a day to reflect , pray for others, and be thankful for what we have.
