Stolen Olga flamingos were on display for breast cancer — Islands Letters to the Editor
If you are the individual who kidnapped the small flock of pink flamingos from my property on Olga Road, just past the south park entrance, you may not have realized that you flocked yourself.
The birds were there to support a very important cause, Breast Cancer.

Wrong focus on School Bond | Letter
The huge amount of bond money proposed for our school is incorrectly focused on structure and facilities. Sure, I agree we need safety, correct, reliable plumbing and heating, excellent kitchen facilities, an enclosed play area for elementary students, and comfortable rooms for students to concentrate. Water catchment and physical fitness are important.
