Column on breast-feeding unnecessarily alarming
I am writing with regard to the column by Frank Trapani printed on May 31 titled, “Breast-feeding baby gives the best start.”
Obama should resign
Richard Milhous Obama — why has he not resigned?
Where is respect for veterans?
Robert Day’s letter to the editor was right!
Earth has cycled through warm periods, ice ages
The past 150 years provide a natural experiment that shows that the global temperature anomaly has not responded to our anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions
Bus facility is nice, but driver pay is not
This letter is in connection with our new school transportation facility. It has been a great thing for the bus drivers.
Care for cemeteries appreciated
It is time again to commend the grounds keepers of each local cemetery. They do such excellent work the year round. Memorial Day requires extra preparation and much clean up so that we, the public, can honor our loved ones in comfort and ease. The extended days to leave flowers, etc. on the graves is appreciated also.
CrewSpace is also for adults
I wanted to acknowledge Alfred Diaz and the Union-Bulletin for covering the CrewSpace project at Walla Walla’s library — we were tickled to see the story on page one! Of course, to the team that has been working on this endeavor for the last year, it has always been front-page news.
WWU's 'Mother Courage' was an eye-opener
Into the midst of our dreamy lives comes a wake up call with the Walla Walla University production of “Mother Courage and Her Children.”
Rose Street decision required common sense
ose Street decision required common sense I would like to offer a few hints regarding bicycle paths connecting College Place (where I live) and Walla Walla. First, I and many others pointed out in letters and calls that it would be much “less safe” changing Rose Street to a two-lane with a middle turn lane and bike paths. Transit buses actually stop several times, going both directions, to pick up riders.
Support the veterans we force to live in disgrace.
Memorial Day. The day when people wave the flag and talk about how much they support the troops, how they appreciate everything they have done for us. I say hogwash!
Criticism in letter over the top
Jim Lehmann’s letter to the editor published on May 19 is most certainly an “attack letter!” Mr. Lehmann opines that Vernon Filan and others (that would include me) write letters “giving our opinions with unsupported and undocumented babblings.”
Walla Walla Valley Band slighted by U-B
While I thoroughly enjoyed the article on Eric Idle’s surprise performance at the Whitman graduation, the U-B neglected one huge part — the Walla Walla Valley Band and it’s co-director, Jesus Vasquez.
Aviary needs community support
We’re on the verge of having our Pioneer Park Aviary closed forever. The birds will be sold and rehomed. The enclosures will be removed. A unique piece of our community will be lost.
IRS only protecting taxpayers
I never thought I would ever defend the IRS, but I have to respond to the flap over the latest so-called “scandal.”
Letter writer does seek the facts
On May 19 a former Walla Walla School Board member wrote a letter in which he suggested I am “a bully” who uses “unsupported and undocumented babblings” in my letters to the U-B concerning school board decisions and activities. He also said, “Never once did Vernon participate in an honest conversation about any fact or issue.” The writer neglected to give examples of inaccurate facts I have used.
