clear for walkers
It's fairly off-putting to take a stroll across the neighborhood and step in all kinds of poop — canine poop, duck poop, cat poop: you title it.
As a neighborhood, we have to try to do higher and have greater requirements of hygiene. It isn’t sufficient to easily have waste luggage mendacity round in public parks. You probably have a pet, it's essential that you just clear up after it, in order that your fellow neighbors don’t have their days ruined by trampling on some animal excrement very first thing within the morning.
Collectively we are able to come collectively and work towards reaching a cleaner metropolis.

Adapting to challenges
is the trail to success
April 10, 2022, marks 30 years after a drunken driver hit me after I was 16 years previous. I had a four-month-long coma, damaged bones, paralysis and mind accidents. My gait and speech is just not excellent, and I learn lips.
Inspiring individuals is my purpose.
In 2006, I began talking at Each 15 Minutes retreats and at faculties in six cities for 14 years educating youngsters to not drink and drive. I additionally had letters in California newspapers between 2007 and 2020 reminding readers to drive sober.
The twenty first century made historical past like no different. California had disasters: drought, inflation, pandemics, robberies, provide chain shortages, wildfires, and many others. Persons are uninterested in the “new regular.”
My battle introduced sudden outcomes for my work: certificates and a medal from regulation enforcement. Adapt to the modifications and the longer term will profit you.

Going through myriad issues,
the place are GOP options?
Victor Davis Hanson says Democrats will lose the November election due to inflation (“Inflation will decimate Democrats in election,” Web page A7, March 4). He could also be proper – on the grocery retailer you don’t take into consideration the rise in GDP, you discover that meals has gone up. On the gasoline station, you don’t think about the historic positive factors in employment and wages, you discover the elevated value.
However listed here are some information. Inflation is just not a Biden or Democratic or American downside, and isn't because of pandemic aid spending: it’s worldwide, in nations that gave beneficiant pandemic aid and in people who gave much less or none. There have been three aid packages. The primary two had been bipartisan and solely the third and smallest was handed by Democrats alone.
And why vote Republican? There's nothing they'll do to mitigate inflation, besides put us into one other recession (which I suppose they may do), however the treatment is worse than the illness.

A Russia encircled
by NATO is fantasy
Robert Sinuhe defined Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by stating that it's surrounded by NATO, which he describes as a hostile army alliance (“Laying all Ukraine blame on Russia too easy,” Letters to the Editor, Web page A6, March 4). Has he checked out a map?
Half of Russia is surrounded by ocean. Many of the relaxation is bordered by China, an ally, Kasakhstan, no risk, Belarus, a Russian puppet, and Ukraine. To be honest, there are additionally three small Baltic republics, that are NATO members, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. These nations, every with its personal tradition, historical past, and language, broke away from the previous Soviet Union when it died, and joined NATO, to make sure that Russia would by no means take them over once more.
Sinuhe ought to take a look at a map earlier than he defends Russian actions in opposition to a weak, smaller Ukrainian neighbor, not a member of NATO, by suggesting that Russian aggression was an act of self-defense.

Stopping crises like
Ukraine is past us
All around the nation information shops are exhibiting solidarity with Ukraine by operating tales and images about native Ukrainians.
Aside from utilizing human curiosity tales to advertise readership and possibly elevate some donations, these tales do little to stop invasion from taking place once more in different nations.
Why is that? The individuals of this nation have little to no understanding of what totalitarian authorities is all about and little need to know. We don’t even elevate a finger when big indicators of comparable developments occur in our personal nation.
As well as, we have now little understanding of despotism’s opposing system, democracy. Each one in all us would fail a easy check about what's required to make a brand new authorities a real democracy.
We love all people, even when they're having a foul time. However we don’t know how one can stop unhealthy instances from taking place right here or anyplace.

World should do extra
to cease Putin’s invasion
I write to specific my disappointment with President Joe Biden and the United Nations’ feedback and actions relating to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. With some Czech ancestry, I really feel we're witnessing one other 1938 Munich incident, and I hear in my ears the fatuous remark of Neville Chamberlain proclaiming, “I carry you peace in our time,” and the way more prescient remark of Winston Churchill that “Britain has chosen between warfare and dishonor. It has chosen dishonor. It would have warfare.”
I admit Ukraine is just not in our rapid space, however it's a democracy that's making an attempt to maintain its freedom and deserves greater than empty resolutions from the League of Nations 2.0. As for what Russia will do if/after they subdue Ukraine, look again to the roughly 4 million Ukrainian deaths because of Stalin’s man-made famine. Vladimir Putin should be stopped now.
