Written on Letter to the Editor: Cistern re-calculations - Not practical for me:

That storm on Tuesday night and this afternoon really missed the Island.

Written on REACTION: All torn up about Elkcam Circle closing:

This is a very hard story to avoid posting too. The city has done a great deal of planning on this design. There have been public meetings and the plans (In various forms) have been displayed throughout the Island for at least the last year. It never fails to amaize me at how negative people can be. This will be a great addition to our Island. It will finally give us a downtown (Central) are for the residence and visitors to meet and socialize. The city has also done a great deal to keep the cost down and to building this park in stages. My suggestion to the negative posters above is to actually get out an participate in the future of our city. It is really easy to sit back and criticize everything. However, you will find out that it is not all that hard to actually get involved in things. It also brings a great deal of pride. I love our little slice of paradise. I have traveled all around the world and I can honestly say my heart belongs here.

Wow!!!! You really have too much time on your hands.

Written on PHOTOS/EAGLE i: Islanders attend Naples' tax day Tea Party :

It is funny to me. Thing are all good as long as you keep paying the ever increasing taxes. However, once you start questioning how your money is being spent and where is going you are labeled right wing extremists. It is funny how the freedom of speech changes when you do not agree with the left. It is OK if you protest as long as you agree with them. I is kind of ironic don’t you think.

Written on Did you try the crawdads?:

JohnnyR and JohninMarco - Are you guys serious. The event was awesome. It is just the first of many great events that will take place in Veterans Park.

JohnnyR - I am just curious. Are you on any committees that put events together. Or are you just another person on Marco who does nothing to improve the Island and complains about everything.

JohninMarco - I believe the flyer said to bring your own lounge chairs. And if you did not bring your own chair all you had to do was walk to the big tent and grab a fold up chair.

You guys really need to look for the good in things and not always the negative.

Written on Marco Island YMCA honors local sports personalities :

This was a great event that brought past athletic stars together with future stars. It was a pleasure to meet some of the past stars. Some of who I watched in college and followed their carriers to the pros. However, I have to tell you I was extremely impressed with some of the younger athletes. You should do some research and check out Victoria Howard. Victoria not only excelled on the sports field, she also excelled in the class room. It was a pleasure to meet the rest of the young athletes: Mercedes Farhat, Nick Alajajian, Jenn Bate, Annie Castellano, and Lauren Embree. This was a group of young people that everyone should be proud of.

But you just keep making your negative post. While you posting on the internet these young people are going to be passing you by.

Written on Eagle to charge at newsstands :

Van – You are really a sad person. You use this web page which is provided by the Eagle to spout your vile. However, you are the first person to cut them down. I hope that people that read this site can see past your childish post and know that most of the population of Marco are positive individuals.

Written on Last of Marco’s loggerhead sea turtles make their way to sea:

Yep too many to drink last night. I can sober up. However, you are who you are.
