Letter: Smoking ban not right
March 3, 2010
To the editor: The statewide ban on smoking in public places makes me very angry because it’s my health, not anyone else’s. I am a courtesy smoker and I abide by the laws. However, I’m fed up with everyone blaming health problems on smoking. Guess what? We are all going to die someday from something.

Letter to the editor: Squirrel Scramble not way to introduce ­youth to nature
February 11, 2009

And not just any squirrels either, but the heaviest and healthiest — those best able to survive and keep the genes of the species healthy?
