LETTER TO THE EDITOR

April 22, 2011 The Waynedale News Staff

My nine-year-old stepson Nicholas Wamsley wanted to submit this letter after taking a walk in some woods today. He really feels passionate about how we take care of the environment.

Thanks Elizabeth Wamsley

We went in some woods in Waynedale today. We wanted to hike and enjoy the day.

When we got there we saw a lot of litter. There were a lot of fast food plastic cups, glass bottles, plates, plastic bags, lottery tickets and cigarettes. I think it is really horrible because it ruins the environment and kills animals. It looks like a dump.

It scared me to think about how it might ruin the earth. The oxygen and food might run out because we don’t take care of our planet.

I asked my dad and step-mom if this is something I should be worried about since I am only nine and they said, “we can clean it up and that will stop the litter from piling up.” I hope that people will stop littering and start caring.

Ripley Delivers Film Noir Thrills ~ At The Movies With Kasey
I do not generally find war movies appealing, so a film about the violent end of American democracy was a hard sell. I do, however, love journalism stories and Alex Garland’s blockbuster Civil War depicts the crucial role of journalists. In the film, set in the near future, reporter Joel (Wagner Moura) and photojournalist Lee (Kirsten ...
Be Careful When Naming Beneficiaries
You might not have thought much about beneficiary designations — but they can play a big role in your estate planning. When you purchase insurance policies and open investment accounts, such as your IRA, you’ll be asked to name a beneficiary, and, in some cases, more than one. This might seem easy, especially if you have ...
These Strong Female Leads Grapple With Ethics ~ At The Movies With Kasey
On the heels of Women’s History Month, a string of movies dropped that tell the stories of women making changes, both political and personal. Among these projects, I found a couple of movies featuring strong performances and thin plots as well as a gem of a coming-of-age story. On Netflix, Shirley follows the 1972 presidential campaign ...
April Is The 4th Month Of The Year… We Think

For example, April is a spring month in the northern half of the world and a fall month in the southern half. The month of April goes way back. Before January and February were added to the ...
