To the Editor,Souls That Smile Child Care is closing on May 24th, after 17 years in business. I want to thank this community for giving me so many reasons to enjoy caring for children in this wonderful city. I thank the library, post office, grocery stores, banks, restaurants and other local businesses who welcomed us with open arms. Special thanks to “our Amy” for the treats from the Family Frosty. Mrs. Michele has provided playgroup activities and these have been awesome.

To the Editor,In response to Mr. Potters’ recent lawsuit limiting the healthcare choices of his employees, I would like to state: I had been a long time buyer and proponent of Eden Foods. I will certainly stop on both counts if Mr. Potter persists. While Mr. Potter can make these personal choices about healthcare for himself, it is arrogant, and paternalistic to impose those on his employees. Shame on him. This is no impingement of his morals or values, by imposing his personal choices on others he is proving to be a reprehensible person.
