Dear Editor,Someone that I frequently see as I use the park's fitness trail stopped me at the grocery store and asked when I thought the remainder of the fitness trail would be paved. I told him I didn't think it would be anytime soon because the city donated money to the school's daycare ...

Dear Editor,As I look at our city paying for nearly one-third of Reinbeck's child daycare building, I wonder why it isn't paying the same amount for elderly daycare. A majority of us in town are more likely to use elderly daycare (ie: nursing home, assisted living, congregate living) than the ...

Dear Editor,I wonder if the G-R School System will donate to the City of Reinbeck when it needs to replace/expand the pool bathhouse or fix the cemetery drives, etc.? The City of Reinbeck is planning on donating another $180,000.00 to the Reinbeck daycare building expansion, which belongs to ...

Dear Editor,I got a call today asking me to donate to the Dollars for Scholars. I have always donated to that effort and believe it is well worth my money. But, that call got me to thinking. Maybe our city should donate to Dollars for Scholars. After all, since Dollars for Scholars is a yearly ...

Dear Editor,Thanks to Richard Grimm both the city and the school system received generous donations. This was money that came exactly when it was most needed. Both the school system and our city are finding it difficult to meet expenses and look toward the future. Richard's donation could have ...

Dear Editor,I find it interesting that the building used for Reinbeck's daycare is owned by the school system (Gladbrook's building is too). Given that, why do users have to pay for daycare? Parents don't directly pay for their students attending other school buildings so why do they pay for ...

Dear Editor,Recently there was a very well written editorial that discussed the cost of daycare services. Who can argue with the cost being nearly over whelming for many families? However, why should I, having no children in the daycare, subsidize someone else's daycare costs through city tax ...

Dear Editor,No one likes to think about death and dying, but it's something everyone faces eventually. Cedar Valley Hospice is an incredible resource in our community providing comfort, dignity and respect to all those coping with a serious illness.November is National Hospice and Palliative ...
