Lena Plows
August 28, 1942 ~ February 11
Brookfield-Lena Plows, 80, passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 11, 2023, at the home of her daughter, Sandra, surrounded with the love and support of her family at her side. She was born in Stockwell at the family home on August 28, 1942, the daughter of the late Marion and Lena Michael Stetson. Lena was raised on the family farm, which was at times hard work, but provided the opportunity of being close to her parents and grandparents. In addition, her brothers and sisters were her constant companions for chores and fun. Lena married Sidney Plows in 1961. Together, they had six children and Lena was a caring and devoted mother. She had been employed at the former Waterville Knitting Mill for 15 years. She earned a GED and furthered her education by completing a program to become a Certified Nurse’s Aide. She worked as a CNA for 27 years at Community Memorial Hospital of Hamilton. A true caregiver at heart, Lena was loved by her patients, their families, and hospital staff. Following her retirement from the hospital, she continued to do private duty care. At the age of 75, she retired from nursing. Lena, a devoted mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, wanted to spend more time with her family. She was the “Best Nana” ever, according to her grandchildren and the great grandchildren. Lena loved anytime she could be with family, no matter the occasion. https://www.paulfuneralhome.net/obituary/Lena-Plows

New Orleanians take to the streets for Mardi Gras
“On February 27, 1827, a group of masked and costumed students dance through the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, marking the beginning of the city’s famous Mardi Gras celebrations. The celebration of Carnival—or the weeks between Twelfth Night on January 6 and Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Christian period of Lent—spread from Rome across Europe and later to the Americas. Nowhere in the United States is Carnival celebrated as grandly as in New Orleans, famous for its over-the-top parades and parties for Mardi Gras (or Fat Tuesday), the last day of the Carnival season. Early French settlers brought the tradition of Mardi Gras to the U.S. Gulf Coast at the end of the 17th century. In fact, Mobile, Alabama celebrated its first carnival in 1703. However, Spanish governors later banned the celebrations. After Louisiana Territory became part of the United States in 1803, New Orleanians managed to convince the city council to lift the ban on wearing masks and partying in the streets. The city’s new Mardi Gras tradition began in 1827 when the group of students, inspired by their experiences studying in Paris, donned masks and jester costumes and staged their own Fat Tuesday festivities.”
