Thirty years ago, Chuck Meyers and Harry Senning had a dream to start a new national bank in Marathon. This was the start of First National Bank of the Florida Keys.

Please support State Attorney Dennis Ward and Monroe County Commissioner Kim Wigington in their efforts to pass a meaningful lobbying ordinance. The proposed law would require lobbyists to register with the county and set rules governing the conduct of both lobbyists and county personnel.

If you do not have health insurance or adequate insurance, if you have ever been turned down for health insurance coverage (I have), if you have ever had to drop insurance because it was unaffordable (I have: I gave up a policy seven years ago when the annual premiums reached $24,000 for my husband and me), then you know the Affordable Health Care for America Act passed by the House of Representatives will help you. But it's no thanks to Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.

Don't be so quick to hook up to the sewer system. Once you run your laterals and destroy or decommission your septic system, there is no turning back. You have burned that bridge. If the sewer system fails to operate, you will be between the proverbial rock and a hard place.

To the editor: I would like to say to Leon Fowler of the teachers union, I am an older person receiving Social Security and trying to live under $15,000 a year. I had to find myself a job, not easy when you’re over 65 just to pay the rent, utilities, medical bills and hope to eat. But last year our federal government told us no cost of living raise. Not just last year but for three years. That was not a slap in the face but a punch in the belly.

Helen Keller once said that "alone, we can do so little; together we can do so much." This certainly proved to be true during Crane Point's fifth annual Haunted Hammock Halloween party.

EDITOR: I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped make the Stanley Switlik Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization's annual Halloween carnival a success. Whether you volunteered your time in a booth, sold tickets, built or took down the carnival games, decorated, manned the grill, sat in the dunk tank, donated for our silent auction, baked for our cakewalk or cleaned up, we couldn't have done it without you.
