Letter: Make sure you know your freedoms

On independence day all Americans should reread the Declaration of Independence to better understand that we're all created equal with equal rights and that government power comes from our consent in voting.

Letter: A most unpalatable sandwich

I would like to warn La Verne Siverling to avoid taking a bite of that ham sandwich he mentioned in his letter last week. Many persons who have done so have had really bad indigestion.

STANEK COLUMN: Fireworks for everyone

I’m one of those weird people who love fireworks year round.

They cause a lot of teeth gnashing for parents, pet owners, some residents, fire departments and emergency rooms, and I certainly don’t support reckless usage. When done right, though, fireworks bring smiles and awed faces.

Letter: Is age a plus or minus?

Recently, I was traveling on a Sydney Harbour ferry, when three young people speaking German sat down in front of me. After a while, I spoke in German, asking them where in Germany they were from. Surprised at hearing German, they replied that they were from Hessen.

Letter: America is in different sort of depression

America seems to have developed a case of long-term depression. There are endless strings lies, mass shootings, along with violent attacks on our democratic institutions, and basic freedoms. The Supreme Court seems to have gone off the rails.
