    Sound-off 5/20

    The man who kidnapped the three girls in Ohio should be hung and left to die. However, I don't understand how they can charge him with murder because he forced abortions on the girls.

    The Fairview Heights Area Food Pantry was once again a grateful recipient of food from the annual Postal Workers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on last Saturday. More than 4,000 items were received from the drive. Items were counted, shelved and crated by volunteers and friends from the pantry.

    End of discussion

    I will respond to letter writer Kevin Sheridan's nonsense one last time. Quite frankly, since he acquires his information secondhand, I will not spend my time responding to his uninformed rantings.

    Shocked by the high school fees in O'Fallon

    Last week I went to register my son for kindergarten in O'Fallon and I was shocked to learn that school fees were $180. I believe that is double what they were last year.
