Bumpy ride begins Dear Editor, This coronavirus pandemic continues to rage unchecked through our nation, with almost 5 million known infections and over 160,000 deaths — the highest such rates in the world.

Cleaning the court Dear Editor, The excellent job on the bocce court was done by the Boy Scouts, so I was told. That’s the best the court has looked in a long time! I would also tell people who let their children disrupt the court by playing and digging on it are not paying attention to the sign. It says to “Keep off.” It’s not a sandbox.

I believe in the First Amendment and that there is actually a difference between protesters and ...

Mayhem from the left Dear Editor, Defunding and dismantling the police that protect us cannot be allowed to continue; there are citizens who are caught in the middle of areas of unrest struggling to survive. They have no recourse except to stay where they are and hope that they can stay safe. Unfortunately, several innocent adults and children have not been able to survive this mayhem. Many people blame President Donald Trump for sending federal agents to uphold the law where the leftist mayors have allowed chaos to reign. He gave the mayors and governors several days to fix ...
