CAMBRIDGE—As promised in my last letter to the editor regarding the issue surrounding the park located across from the Henry County Courthouse, here are the responses I received from each of the County Board members: No response at all.

ORION—We as a community probably take for granted our ambulance, fire and police functions and operations. There are small towns in the midwest who lack terribly in these emergency services.

CAMBRIDGE—Yes, this is another “Letter to the Editor” regarding the park located across the street from the courthouse in Cambridge.

Representative Bill Foster is a great change for Henry County. He is a businessman and a scientist whose first run for office sent him to Congress in March. Thankfully, he has not forgotten who elected him to office and who he represents in Congress.

ORION—At our July 7 village board meeting, curbside recycling and a single trash provider, were discussed with the board and residents in attendance.  A few facts are important for everyone to consider since the board will soon be asked to make a decision on if we will offer these new services. I personally have received calls both in favor and against any plan to implement the above.—JIM COOPER

Having attended the July 7 village board meeting, participating in and listening in the discussion about curbside recycling, it is clear that board members have already decided the way they will vote on this issue.—DALE STILES
