Ultra Music Festival is a disgrace

 

If the powers that be know that “Molly” is not only illegal, but will also be rampant at the Ultra Music Festival, why is the festival allowed to go on, with no objections from city officials? Not only is it a disgrace to Miami, but it’s also a danger to our young people, who should know better, but don’t seem to care. Shame on Madonna and all the musicians mentioned for boosting this drug, and celebrating drug abuse. This festival is also an inconvenience to our residents as we all know, and now we are subjected to two weekends instead of one! Who gives out these permits?

    Juneteenth — a celebration of freedom

    Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with the news that the war had ended and freed all remaining slaves. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation — which had become official on Jan. 1, 1863.

  • Bees not news

    Re the June 16 story Miami couple saddened after bee hive destroyed: It must have been a slow news day for the Miami Herald. This article took up two-thirds of a page in the newspaper’s local section.

  • Bees could be saved

    An experienced bee keeper could have moved the beehive to a less troublesome location; perhaps on the couple’s property where they could continue to enjoy the bees and the bees could continue to do their good work.
