To the Editor: It seems we have stepped up a notch. Heck! Desirable is what we are. Developers want to see more of us, residing in their multi-story/highrise buildings, that is.

To the Editor: The community reads about the use of tax money by the Board of Education to purchase Chromebooks, Smartboards, computers, and various technology devices.
