Gas prices are high again because there is a holiday approaching. The major oil companies know people will be doing a lot more driving this weekend. Gas station owners make most of their money on everything else they sell in their stores. To all you …

What’s happened to the honey bees? I have a beautiful flower garden, and all I have are butterflies and bumblebees — no honey bees. How are my flowers gonna pollinate? I think way too many people are dying too early on motorcycles this year. Come …

As a Crown Point resident, I read the funniest thing in the paper: Gas prices down for the holiday weekend. Oh, but I’m sure they still just make pennies per gallon profit. Oil is way down. So tired of this gas scam. To the person …

What we see in the political arena are bullies on a grand scale. They lie, cheat and bully people just to win a job. How sad is that? Then, they go home and try to teach their children how not to be bullies at school, …

The grass is so tall at 15th Avenue and Cleveland Street in Gary that I am ashamed for company to visit for the holiday. Why can’t this city do just the little things to enhance our quality of life? Recently, the park on 5th Avenue …

There is a solution to birth control. Get a one-time tubal ligation, and you won’t have to worry anymore. You think just because you’re a police officer you can’t park wherever you want? You are wrong, dumb-dumb. You certainly can. A UAW tie is all …

Congratulations to Hobart Girls Softball on celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Also, a big thank you to the men and women volunteers who have kept this organization alive — a rare task — with all of their hard work so the youth of Hobart …

If the news media and elected officials can keep us focused on the nonissues, maybe we will be distracted and divided enough we won’t make them address the real issues. It has worked for them in the past. People in public service get derailed so …

Saturday night, my neighborhood erupted with a bunch of punks ruining a family park. It is just disgusting. We can’t put basketball hoops up because there was a shooting there. Now we have it down to just a nice little park for families and little …

Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson, Grant Park needs to be cleaned up. Please get those street sweepers fixed. To the Lake County police officer who pulled up in front of the Papa John’s Pizza in Valparaiso and made his own spot: There were parking spots everywhere. …

I think Post-Tribune columnist Carrol Vertrees needs to publish a book of his columns. It would be a huge hit. I would like to wish my good friend, Ralph, a happy birthday. We have worked together for more than 30 years, and he has made …

Barack Obama jumped on the gay marriage bandwagon for one reason — his re-election campaign funds from Hollywood were dwindling. Karl Marx once said, “If I can take over Hollywood, I can rule the world.” Any doubts about that? Watch the movie “Agenda.” It’s spelled …

With a divorce rate of nearly 55 percent, I don’t see how anyone can say that heterosexuals view marriage as “sacred.” Marriage is a civil contract licensed by state government. Religion has no part in it in our country. President Obama’s support of gay marriage …

How many calls does it take to fill a hole? It’s still four feet wide at the 37th Avenue and Delaware intersection. Dangerous, because you have to go on the other side of the intersection to get around it and the other cars are coming. …

I just returned from Tennessee, and gas there sells for $3.37 a gallon, even though it’s so far from the refineries. Drive your car only when you have to and use as little water as you can. We can change the prices of both by …

Thanks to whomever helped lower the property taxes in Miller; we won’t have to foreclose this year! At Taft Middle School in Crown Point, new drop-off rules — for safety reasons — took effect right after spring break. It didn’t take long for parents to …
