Help keep Carmel clean

Dear editor, My husband and I made it our mission to pick up litter on Hazel Dell Parkwaywhen the time allows and one thing we find curious is the fact that most people do pick up after their dogs and place the waste in the appropriate bags. However, we often find the bags are thrown along the fence or placed [...]

Stop complaints about Wilson

Editor, Ack! I can’t stay silent any longer! You received another complaint letter about Danielle Wilson’s column? Seriously? It is these complaint letters that will cause me to toss my next Current in Carmel in the trash. The holier-than-thou spirit that permeates these letters is the very attitude I worried existed in beautiful Carmel. Those readers nitpick on her pluck, wag on her swag – they’re a [...]

Business background makes Romney clear choice

Editor, Our economy is under assault from President Barack Obama’s efforts to transform it into a European-style welfare state. While other candidates have spent their lives in government as the beneficiaries of taxpayer dollars, only Mitt Romney has led a successful career helping new companies get started and producing thousands of jobs. Further, his success in business and his command [...]

Paul offers alternative to Obama, Romney

Editor, While both President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney have supported bailouts and unaffordable health care plans, only Rep. Ron Paul has stood steadfast in his commitment to free enterprise. Paul will eliminate our foreign entanglements that have plundered American blood and treasure. And only Paul is committed to ending the “nanny state” that seeks to have government dictate [...]

More Redmond columns, less Wilson

Editor, It is my position the article placements of Mike Redmond and Danielle Wilson be swapped! It’s a matter of principle and purpose. Danielle’s principles, or lack thereof, have been called into question repeatedly. She seems to fancy herself as a smarmy, suburban shock columnist. The purpose of humor columns is to entertain, and Mike does so winsomely. Danielle’s writing [...]

Buffet versus Sagan

Editor, I don’t know if it was intended or not, but I find the irony of the juxtaposition of the inane cartoon about the Buffett Rule and the compelling quote from Carl Sagan to be quite funny. Thank you for the hearty laugh! David M. Concannon, 46032

Wilson’s weekly offense

Editor, What would it take to not have these kinds of words in your paper? (Editor’s note: “Damn” was highlighted and circled.) They make me not want to read her stories. Donna Thomas, 46032

Alternative motives

Editor, I am bothered by the article expressing concern over fungus because it fails to mention the Councilman investigating the environmental studies is a supporter of the Save the Carmel Grain Elevator effort, and nearby business owners who are criticizing the Mayor and CRC stand to lose their lease as a result of the planned redevelopment of the property. The [...]

Smooth political moves

Editor, I believe the action of John Accetturo forgoing health insurance is spot-on as an elected official who is performing public service, but did anybody really catch the travesty here of $27,000 per year? Not only should we, the taxpayers, not be responsible for this cost, but we also should wonder why the cost itself is so incredibly high. I [...]

Kindergarten: Does one size fit all?

Editor, Research shows the quality of the program is more important than the number of hours spent in kindergarten. If you have had doubts about squeezing your square peg of a child into the round hole of all-day kindergarten, or if you have confidence your child will be ready for first grade without a full-day kindergarten, consider the alternatives available.  [...]
