Editor, Daily Press:

I have a problem with a neighbor, who is harassing me every night. It has been going on since 2001, when I took him to court. That has been three times and nothing is being done about it. He messes with my plants. He urinates on them.

They tell me the district won’t do anything. I have written out a lot of reports on him. I know this is terrible.

I guess you can let anyone come over to your house and do anything they want, day or night. That is what has gone on at my house for eight years.

My husband heard him, too, when he was here. He could not sleep. He is gone now. He passed away two years ago in November.

This neighbor has a problem, a big problem. I told [officers] I saw him in my back yard, early one morning. But they said someone else has to see him. That sounds crazy.

I had a stroke about nine years ago and I cannot catch him when he is over here. I move sort of slow. I have signs up around my place [telling people to] stay off my property, but it does no good.

A week ago, he messed with my camera outside and broke it, then called [someone] to come and fix it and told them what color my house was and gave them my name. He told them like he lives here.

I know because I called [the repairman] the night I found it broken, and they told me I already had an appointment with them on Monday. I told them I had not called them before and I had just found out about it when I tried to turn it on. The night before, he dropped a piece of credit card by my back door.

Make sure you vote
It’s that time of the year again – time for the school board to extend a two-year contract to three years. It seems the board is much more interested in the job security of [Superintendent] Shannon Goodsell than for the teachers and staff.

Ego influencing justice
Last year’s incident in the jail where inmate Daniel Bosh received significant injuries from what appears to be an attack by a jail employee serves as a reminder that we have flaws in our justice system.

Harnessing talents
Women met Tuesday, Jan. 17, who believe in the values of a strong U.S. Constitutional government, with more power in the state and local government; women who believe our federal government is spending out of control, to the point of pushing our nation into the poor house. We call ourselves conservatives.

Flip-flopping on issues
Shannon Goodsell, superintendent of Tahlequah Public Schools, apparently can’t make up his mind when it comes to giving taxpayer money to private organizations.

Thieves target cross
I am writing you regarding my cousin’s memorial cross on State Highway 51. He has been gone for four years now. The week before the four-year anniversary of his passing, someone stole his cross.

Kudos to the City Council
Editor, Daily Press:
Our elected officials showed wise judgment at [last] Monday’s City Council meeting. They chose individualism over collectivism.

Scare tactics on aliens?
Editor, Daily Press:
I just finished watching scare tactics on a new channel called the Curiosity Channel, on satellite television. It was about, “What would we do if we were attacked by beings from outer space?” It was, in my opinion, designed and produced by the big corporations who are now running the world.

Think twice about testing
Editor, Daily Press:
I do not condone the use of drugs by welfare recipients and I do not believe that many can afford to use drugs. I also do not condone government intrusion into the private lives of citizens.
