Small potatoes

So much has been made of Julie Nicolov's column on Vinny that I decided to dig it out and read it. After reading it, I can't see what all the fuss is about. First of all, she is right. That was inappropriate conduct for a public official at the county courthouse. Second of all, if Vinny and his followers can't take such a minor criticism, maybe Vinny is in the wrong business.

More fuzz

I am calling from Ranshaw. Coal Township commissioners: could you please hire more police officers? They are overworked and understaffed and our Coal Township police are wonderful for what they do. This area is not the same as it used to be.

Snakes and arrows

Hi Frog, just wanted to let you know to be careful if you happen to be out and about in Brush Valley. There sure are a lot of snakes out there and not all of them crawl on their belly.

Hefty fine

This is for the moron who is using the sticky traps to trap and kill small wildlife critters. Your neighbor should call the Department of Agriculture because what you are doing is illegal and carries a hefty fine. I know because I reported a similar situation. The Department of Agriculture investigated and Mr. Macho Moron paid the price.

Good job

I am in agreement with the person that wrote in about the crime watch in Mount Carmel. I think all crime watch people and the police as well should be commended for all their hard work.

Trend setter

I love Jenna Wasakoski's style and beauty issue every Tuesday. She sounds like a very down to earth girl and yet very trendy. Especially the article about white after Labor Day. I had to laugh when I read that because I am from the old school where you could never wear white. Keep up the good work, Jenna.

Real woman

It has been a couple of weeks since Jenna W. started her look column. After reading today's bit I decided never, ever to follow anything she says. A woman with raccoon eyes and black roots in faux blonde hair. I would rather hear from a real woman.

Big surprise

I think somebody should check in to these military backgrounds of some of these politicians. I think you would get the biggest surprise of your life if you did.
