To the editor:
It has been 21 days plus since the Berry Festival on June 3, yet the Port a Potty still remains in place in the center of the only playground the children have in which to play. It has not been removed nor has the waste from the festival been cleaned out. You can imagine what it is like in this heat. The children say it stinks terribly, has flies and is also loaded with maggots. I went to look. They are right.

To the editor:
First off, kudos to Lee Kendall for his excellent editorial last week. Hope he did not get too many hate calls and letters.
I read that California has placed Kentucky on a no travel list because of some of our legislation. We must have scared the poor snowflakes. Most insecure groups strike out at anyone that does not agree with their group think and react with negative actions. They fear that anyone that thinks differently challenges the validity of their beliefs.
Unfortunately, we have a similar situation right here in the Maiden City.
