| Buying local more important than ever |
As I watch the recent egg recall unfold, I'm struck not by how unusual food recalls are, but rather by how commonplace and every day they are. One day it's eggs, the next day ground beef and the next day spinach. Pick your pathogen- E.coli, salmonella, listeria, etc.

Ron Johnson says free trade has been successful for Wisconsin's economy. He says that in a free-market system, there are winners and losers. Feingold has always opposed free trade agreements, because the losers far exceed the winners.

He's short, furry and has an excruciating laugh that I can hear in my head day-in and day-out.

| Board listened to sidewalk concerns |
We would like to thank Mr. (Daniel) Guild, village administrator, Mr. (Steve) Tomlinson, village president, as well as the board of trustees who reconsidered the resolution to put in sidewalk along Wilson Street. They listened to us and took into account the concerns and hardships we are all facing.

| Another perspective on dispute |
Taxpayers who were "steamed about sidewalks" (Poynette Press, Scott De Laruelle, July 27, 2010) should also be steamed about a library board member taking a village board member "to task for taking 'second-hand information as fact'" (July 27, 2010). Why would an administrator who supported removing newspapers from the school IMC be on a library board?
