Dear editor,
A belated thank you to the Farm City Days Committee. They did a good job of salvaging a good share of the activities.
Also, thanks to Allen Community College and the Iola Community Theatre for the production of Mamma Mia. The amount of great talent we have in our community is amazing. I wish I could have joined the crew, but old dogs just lay on the porch and watch.
I will really be glad when this election is over. Our mute button is about wore out. I wonder if we wouldnt be better off to not have the party system and just have each candidate run on their own merit with strict laws limiting the amount of money each one could spend on their campaigns.
I think Trumps reactions to Sen. McCains death was a disgrace, but maybe its hard for someone that has never wore a uniform and put his life on the line in defense of our country to understand what a true hero is.
Everyone needs to vote.
If you dont have a favorite, vote for the one that ticks you off the least.
But please, vote.
Maude Burns,
Iola, Kan.
