Thank you so much for your article on Aug. 5 about CVS. When we lost our neighborhood pharmacy at Lofinos, we switched to the closest CVS because we saw familiar faces. Since the pandemic, we have considered the inconveniences we have experienced, so clearly delineated in the article, to staffing and supply challenges. Now we know there issues are planned. This is incredibly frustrating as we witness more and more corporations ferociously feeding on all sorts of services and businesses. At the same time, it is the patient, the client and the customer who bears the burdens, and suffer through deteriorating services. Well, there are no more excuses offered from us. We are able to get the information and have the voices to demand what we need. Those of us who are able have to speak up for those who can’t.

It was a welcome moment to have read a June 21 column from David Shumway pertaining to today’s dangerous drivers on our roadways. It left me longing for someone like Mr. Shumway to be my chief of police. It is very evident we need traffic control out on our roads; “sharing the road” talk goes nowhere. By taking a short drive, we face dangerous and deadly tailgating, speeding at close to double our speed limits, lane changing to gain only a couple feet, and deadly runners of red lights. It seems many choose to simply ignore that some 45,000+ citizens per year are murdered on the roadways of our country. I will bet a high percentage more than likely caused by people who should have had their driving privileges revoked along with with stiff fines and/or prison time. I think we need to show as a civilized nation we will not tolerate lawlessness. Even if we have to resort to cameras and the cost should be repaid by the violators.
