Writer says story facts are wrong
Mr. Wilcox, There are many untruths reported in the Article about CARE being one step closer to taking over the Wexford County Animal Shelter (published in last week’s newspaper). First, the BOC is currently accepting Proposals from Parties interested in operating the Shelter. This Phase of accepting Proposals does not close until July 31st. C.A.R.E. is one of the Parties that has submitted a proposal but is not the only one. Until the BOC ceases to accept Proposals no decision as to which option is the most feasible will be made. Hence the Assumption that CARE is going to be [...]

America has a bright future
Dear Mike: It’s a “2nd grade” kinda Friday…it’s scary to realize that I can remember 55 years ago — back to when I was in the 2nd grade…my teacher was the quintessential grandmotherly type complete with glasses, gray hair and an old school approach to making sure we all learned what we would need later on in life (she even had a gold tooth)…I recall that my mother went to a few parent-teacher conferences in which Mrs. Gregorson would give her the run down on my abilities and failings…my 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Cross was much prettier (ok, I had [...]

I imagined my check as a host for parasites to greedily feast on. Taxes, Groceries, Electricity, Gas, Insurance. The problem with parasites is that they shortsightedly feed and multiply until the host weakens and dies. As with most company provided health [...]

Make way for turtles!
Dear Editor, I live in the area of Old State and Mannsiding. My concerns are the fact that some people out here drive too fast. This is the country, humans are not the only creature that lives here. You never know when an animal of some species will run out in front of you. I can see how a deer can get hit, they will run right in front of a car, but I do not understand how someone can run over a turtle. Many were hurt or killed on Mannsiding last year. So to start the season this year, [...]
