Reminder for letters: Letters to the editor, columns, and cartoons are all the opinions of the contributors
and not necessarily the Cook County News-Herald. While we encourage readers
to submit letters to the editor on issues they feel strongly about, we ask that
letters include name, address, and phone number. The Cook County News-Herald may withhold a name to protect a letter writer, but will never run a letter
without knowing the identity of the author. Anonymous submissions or letters of
questionable credibility will not be published or acknowledged.
The Cook County News-Herald also asks that letters be no longer than 350 words,
however at the editor’s discretion, longer submissions may be published. All
letters are subject to editing for length, clarity, and libelous content.

Both of us, now in our nineties, looked with dismay down the driveway to our house on Tuesday morning after the windstorm had finally stopped. We have moved into Homestead for the winter, but are readying our house for occupancy this winter by our incoming doctor. The entrance to our property was wide enough to drive in, but huge spruce were down on either side. Full Story
