The Daily Item, Sunbury, PA

Value of independence
Some people have questioned the value of registering as an independent voter. They point to the fact that independents do not vote in the primaries.
God's creatures
After reading the story on snakes in the park, I felt compelled to write. Snakes are very misunderstood creatures. I believe it has something to do with the Bible's reference to them in Genesis as being the creature that talked Eve into eating the apple.
Acts of cowardice
It is time to call a spade a spade. Since the first of the year, severely disturbed men in Boston, Maine, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, Kansas and Florida have committed murder in the name of their cause -- as a matter of fact, twice in Florida.
Document release marred by judge's griping
In the end, Northumberland County President Judge Robert B. Sacavage acted appropriately by releasing three years worth of credit card statements requested by county Commissioner Vinny Clausi.
Move fountain
I've lived in Sunbury my entire life and remember well the controversial fountain. I also remember the deplorable state of neglect into which it was allowed to fall.
Walking talk
In response to the recent allegations concerning Pastor Jose Rosa, who has been missing since May 21, our prayers are with his family, his congregation and especially the children's lives that have been marred by these sinful and reckless acts.
On the right track
About the Rails-to-Trails path planned between Mifflinburg and Lewisburg, it might be said: This hike has been hobbled by controversy since its first steps.
The best from the worst
Tragedy and adversity can bring out the best in people. This was quite apparent when my business was lost to fire this past Tuesday evening at Fetter's Meat Market in Milton.
Zero tolerance
I have zero tolerance for child molesters, and here is why: Child molesters are thieves. They rob children of their innocence, their self-esteem and self-worth.
Wrong project
As a resident of Sunbury, I've been following the story about the proposed alterations to the city park. I do not agree with these at all, except for maybe adding the fountain. The monuments should stay as they are, as they balance both ends of the park.
Helmets good for riders of all ages
A bike helmet program sponsored by Evangelical Community Hospital, civic groups and a local restaurant was laudable for helping parents make sure their children have the protection required by law.
