Letter To Editor
ENTERPRISE: My husband is a farmer, he has crops planted in fields around the Hwy 158 West area and as he goes by to check on his crops, he sees that people have been riding four wheelers or golf carts through his planted field. The field that he worked hard to plant is destroyed.
Letter To The Editor
ENTERPRISE: It is not often I get to compliment or brag on a submission to the “Letters to the Editor” in The Douglas Enterprise. Most contributions printed either come from someone who “speaks” to us from a deep seated emotional view of what has transpired in our community or from someone who is the head of an organization, who comments arose more as a kind of “Press Release”, things we expect to arise to that of a professional writer.
