Dear Editor: I am pleased that Rich Glorioso has asserted his leadership skills in broaching the subject of a community solution for Walden Lake’s withering golf facilities. I hope the community will keep an open mind and think constructively on how things might proceed. A committee of professional and thoughtful people would be a good […]

LETTER: Thonotosassa exit too dangerous for Wawa
Dear Editor: I read with dismay your article in the Dec. 12 Plant City Times & Observer regarding the Wawa gas station being erected on the land adjoining Starbucks on Thonotosassa Road. This is a very dangerous intersection. The cars exiting from eastbound Interstate 4 clearly have a “Yield” sign facing them. Yet, rarely does one […]
Continue ReadingLETTER: WLCA needs your input for polo field
Dear Editor: We are asking for your ideas for the use/reuse/adaptive use/active/passive ideas for the use of the ground known as the polo field area. That’s the entire, large area adjacent to where the dog park is located (which is not being changed). The WLCA Board of Directors started talking earlier this year about paving […]
Continue ReadingLETTER: Why should we trust Visions Golf?
Dear Editor: I am pleased our city leaders attended the Walden Lake Community Association’s Nov. 19 Golf Course Workshop. I am grateful that the vision for the community will rest with them — and not Visions Golf LLC. Visions Golf LLC asked for bank loans in 2004 to buy the Walden Lake Golf & Country […]
Continue ReadingLETTERS: Residents share polo field suggestions
Dear Editor: I was just running by there this morning, thinking that we should do something with that field. As much as I like the idea of a soccer field, that would require upkeep, which may make it unpopular, unless we can team up with a youth soccer league. Disc golf is probably the cheapest […]

Dear Editor: My name is Barbara Grainger, and my husband, Robert, and I head up the Cowboy Up Ministry’s feeding of the homeless on Tuesday nights. Robert is a third-generation farmer, and, together, we feel a calling on our lives to feed people. We are so vested in this program and love the people we serve. I can understand […]

Dear Editor: I just wanted to send a comment to the person(s) who felt compelled to steal my granddaughter’s bicycle from our front step this past weekend. It was a 2-year-old bike with a torn seat. It couldn’t possibly have been worth much to you, but it meant the world to her. There is nothing more heartbreaking […]
Continue ReadingLETTER: Answers needed from WLCA leaders
Dear Editor: I attended the Walden Lake Community meeting Oct. 21, and the dysfunction displayed by some of the board members was disturbing. Question after question was asked of the board by residents, and board members stood firm with the advice of the attorneys present not to answer them. Why? This board was approached back […]

Dear Editor: The GFWC Woman’s Club of Plant City would like to thank its friends and supporters for another successful chicken barbecue dinner fundraiser. We apologize for some glitches that occurred with our chicken delivery but appreciate your patience and understanding. The funds raised will enable us once again to give three scholarship awards to […]
