Letter: Arborvitae flower stolen from Stratton Greenhouses - have you seen it?

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 24, 2012 - 12:21pm

Icon viewers:

Have you seen my arborvitae flower in a cedar box (see photo)?  

While we were in Maine it was stolen from our parking lot. It had to have taken two people because it is at least 150 lbs. And it is a $275.-$300 item, one of a kind.

If you have seen this arborvitae flower in a cedar box,  please call 419-358-6950 or the Sheriff at 419-227-3535.   

 I have already called the Sheriff so I have filed a report on the item.

Letter: Who cares about the Model T's!

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 7, 2012 - 10:37pm

Fred,
Who cares about the Model T’s.! (this week's historical Bluffton photo). Check out the 1958 Chevy Impala convertible (with top down) in front of Niswander’s newsstand. The color is Black Onyx. It has wide white wall tires, fender skirts and a Continental tire on the extended bumper.

Letter: From Ronald Rich - "Who guards the guardians themselves?"

Posted by Fred Steiner on August 2, 2012 - 11:00am

Note: The Icon printed this letter exactly as it was received.
Dear Icon:
A question in our Latin class (long ago!) was, "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?", or, if I have it right, "Who guards the guardians themselves?". The media have freedom of the press, but the constitutional guarantee is supposed to be for all citizens, not just a special class. How can we be protected from editors who distort things themselves?
