Comments: If the Islander and the Sun would
put up newspaper racks and charge .25
per paper, they would not be beholding to
the people that advertise in their papers.
This .25 would defray expenses and the paper would not have to depend on advertisements.

Comments: Here is the senerio:
Three Public officials on the beach... Several civilians in the water in distress. Who takes off his/her shoes and junps in, risking his/her own life? ANSWER: The one with FIRE/RESCUE on his/her shirt.
The Manatee Sheriff was the first at the scene in Anna Maria two weeks ago, but it was my son, Firefighter Nathan Bergbom and Firefighter Jeff Philips who risked their lives in the current off Sycamore Street.
If the city commissioner had been there, who would he have expected to do this duty? Had he also been 30 years old standing there, too, would he have jumped in or would he have looked at the guy with the FIRE RESCUE shirt, thinking "this is your job".
It is their job. They do not think twice about their own saftey, but only of those in harms way.
I could go on and on...but really, we all know that we depend upon the sacrifices these wonderful men and women afford us each and every day.
I could not be more proud to be the mother of a Manatee County Firefighter.
Sincerely,
Janice Bergbom

Comments: I can hardly fathum that it has been thirty years since the day we enrolled Ian Fairweather in kindergarden at AMI Elementary. I'll never forget Jim Kronus and the most wonderful Kindergarden teacher, Billie Coles, greeting us and encouraging us to participate in class room activities. Jack and I became very active in moving the school from PTA to the current PTO program, and loved every moment...1980 to 1992, when our youngest son went on to King Middle.
So today our oldest grandson, Mason Fairweather, Ian's son, started his Kindergarten experience at AMI Elementary. We are so very proud of our neighborhood school, and are so excited to again volunteer there. Jack and I encourage all of the past parents, who may now be grandparents,too, to pitch in and become involved in the education of todays Anna Maria Island youth and tomorrows future.
We hope to see you in the AMI Elem. resource center!
