    Agrees with changing school mascot

    To the editor:
     Reading the letters to the editor regarding the time to change the school mascot,  I  totally agree  with  sign man Steve. 
     I  always thought the same–why a devil? We try to instill in our children to choose the right path and the devil, well, is just thde devil. We really need to find a new mascot for our children.

    Time to change school mascot?

    To the editor:
    I do a lot of signs for the community and it always bothers me to put the Red Devil name or logo on the signs I produce.
     Not being a very religious person, it still makes me ask why we continue to use the devil as a mascot. Isn’t there some other name we could use like some kind of animal or something that would be better suited to use to promote the efforts of our children?

    To the editor:
    I was an inmate at Levy Forestry Camp. I worked for Robin Vick, who was such a blessing.
    But she was not the only person who had such a positive impact on me.
    The city of Williston has some of the best people in the U.S.
    Working in the public was scary at first, wondering how people would react.
    But to my surprise, the city of Williston treated us inmates like real people.
    That helped my self esteem.
    Not only would they thank us and tell us what a good job we were doing, people always had a smile for us.

  • Disappointed with commissioners’ action

    To the editor:

    It was with great sadness and surprise that I read the article entitled “County snuffs out teens’ tobacco resolution” in the Jan. 4, 2012 edition of the Williston Pioneer. Having grown up in Williston, I have great interest as to what my family members are exposed.

    As a Registered Nurse, high school teacher, S.W.A.T. advisor and one who has lost several family members to tobacco use, I was disappointed in the commission’s rejection of the resolution. Almost 89 percent of tobacco users begin using by age 18.

  • Disagrees with faith columnist

    To the editor:

    I was saddened by Pastor Stewart’s opinion piece in last week’s Pioneer.

    His unprovoked attack on evolution seemed based on a fundamental denial of the purpose of science, which is to simply observe and document the ongoing revelation of existence.

    He suggests that a convicted felon should have greater authority on this subject than a Nobel Prize winning physicist, another cause for concern.

  • Thank you, Williston

    To the editor:
    An open letter to the town of Williston:
    I was going through your town late one evening after a long trip from Tampa when I came across your wonderful holiday lights.
    They brought a smile to my face and made me realize that throughout the whole drive, I had not seen one town with Christmas lights.
    So thank you to the townspeople of Williston who show a wonderful display of the holiday spirit and put warmth in the heart of a tired driver.

    To the editor:
    Lord of ALL peoples,
    I ask your blessing and Council of the Spirit for our elected and appointed local officials and local government employees. My Spirit aches as I hear of and read the communications, official and otherwise, by and among our leaders.
    My fear is that passion has turned to poison, concern to contempt, and calls for justice to unjust personal attacks.
