Zia Elementary wants recycling help

We here at Zia Elementary School want you to help recycle cans.

This helps us and the earth and it helps save money. Also, it helps poor people.

Recycling is good. If you recycle you are saving money, resources and helping poor people.

I hope you help us and the people we are giving the cans and money to. I hope you decide to recycle cans; if you don’t, that’s OK, too. We just want you to do it because it helps us and the earth.

Thieves stoop low to steal from children

To those who stole the redwood lounge chairs with green- and white-stripe cushions off of my grandson’s porch: You have stooped very low to steal children’s chairs.

It was a birthday gift we had given them. I hope whoever ends up with them feels really uncomfortable when sitting in them because they were not given by a true meaning of love but rather out of a selfish act of thievery.

Flag’s colors can have different meanings

No offense to our country or to any American, but I have an issue I would like to mention.

You know that our prisoner-of-war flag is black. And when I see it flying on a flag pole, I know for what it stands.

And I respect that very much.

But I can’t help myself that it reminds me of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) black flags.

Is there any way our leaders could change the colors of our POW black flag?
