I am visiting my daughter and was happily surprised to read your local paper. It is rare that a community supports such a local newspaper in competition with a large regional paper as the Seattle Times.

One article I read concerned two persons who started a new Spanish-language magazine. Very commendable and enterprising. One reason for starting the magazine still puzzles me. They cited a woman who did not speak English, who could not go to her son’s graduation because she did not know about it. I think this woman has a communication problem, but it is with her son. Why didn’t he tell her about it?

How about a Chinese language magazine. That seems to be in need as well. I favor Hungarian, but I guess we are in a real minority here along with Serbo-Croatian.

A local resident named Mary Hall wrote a powerful letter calling a person a Republican bobble head and voting against Americans. My goodness who did he vote for? She appears to be in favor of a Democrat opponent. According to the article by Jerry Cornfield, she must be in favor of voting for the rich, as the Democratic campaign committee has transferred $1.1 million compared to the Republicans Mary vilifies, who have transferred only $135,000. Democrats around here must be really in the money.
