To the editor: I wish to commend our local police and deputies for their efforts to reduce or eliminate the drug problems occurring in our neighborhoods. I speak as a concerned citizen and neighbor of South County. I have lived in South County for 22 years and have seen an increase in drug activity and thefts in our area.

Support crew kudos

To the editor: Kudos to Dave Griffith for choosing to close on Sundays. This will allow his employees to have an extra day to spend with their families.

To the editor: I just want to say that Jake Grossmiller hit the nail on the head. It is a no brainer. It should be The Dalles High School Eagles. After all, that covers the entire The Dalles community and, remember, we are, right now, The Dalles Indian Eagles.

To the editor: Kudos to the volunteer Dallesport ambulance and fire department for your quick response to our home.

To the editor: This evening, as my wife and I enjoyed an exquisite meal at one of our fine city restaurants, we decided to go for a drive through the downtown corridor of The Dalles after dinner.

I send kudos to The Dalles Swim Team Board for the exceptional job they are doing.
