Now lets remember ladies.......No patent leather shoes because the boys will be able to see up your skirt!

Oh, a teacher taught me correctly. "our" not "hour".

Written on VIDEOS/PHOTOS: 6 Collier teachers surprised with Golden Apple Awards:

It is still a sad commentary on our educational value system. An educator of 100s of our children gets honored by a significant award and is given $2000 for the hundreds of if not thousands of hours of dedicated work. Compare this to the millions of dollars in bonuses which are given out in the business and sports world for a significant lessor contribution to hour society. Do you have to ask the question why education doesn't work well in this country?

Written on POLL: Deadline nears for voters to rename Veterans’ Memorial Park:

Whoops. Wrong Park! The Elkam Park should be Veterans's Memorial were more can see and appreciate it. The small park could be called "Don't blink or you will miss me Park"!

How about "The Infamous Home Of The Asbestos Photos That Never Were Lie Park"!

Written on Letter to the Editor: Open letter to Councilor-elect Larry Magel:

Split the island into several voting districts, like was done with the sewer project. Have a representative from each district be elected to council. This was mentioned above. It is fair and makes sense. The only reason to vote against it is for special, greedy interests. This is the only way group on the island can be fairly represented.

Written on Letters to the Editor: Unwelcome signs:

I too, am wondering why the amount of no parking signs that were put up were necessary.
Possible reasons:

1.Older people are near- sighted.
2. Younger people have to be reminded over and over.
3. Someone is related to the sign maker.
4. Possible County discount on purchasing by the "bakers dozen".
5. Landing spots for birds.
6. Target practice.
7. Failure to read the instructions by the sign installation people.
8. Maybe "they" just don't want us to park there.

Oh, I get it now. I have seen the Light!
It's not how you play the game that counts. Do what you have to do to win! That is some lesson for our children on Marco!!!

Written on Letter to the Editor: Single shot voting: It’s legal, but is it ethical:

Mr. Issler,

Oh, is it now "two wrongs make a right"?
The process is "MANIPULATION" no matter how you spell it. It is "WRONG" and plays into the hands of poor candidates. Once again "Animal Farm" comes to mind. "All pigs are created equal, but some pigs are more equal than others!" Do you see the correlation?
The election also showed that at least 73% did not vote for any one of the candidates. That means that almost 3/4 of the potential voters did not believe in any one of the candidates. You can play with those numbers any way you wish and the outcome becomes the same.

Written on Letter to the Editor: Single shot voting: It’s legal, but is it ethical:

Mr. Issler.

Once again......I know what a majority is.....it is not 26.7%. You are part of at most the "majority" of a manipulated "minority".
Now who is kidding who?
