&letterheadCare appreciated

TO THE EDITOR: This is a belated thank you, but my family and I would wish to express our sincere gratitude to the Morrisonville Rescue Squad for their efficient, quick and professional response to my family's call on March 26, 2007, to expedite my quick transfer to the CVPH Emergency Room.

I would like to further extend thanks to the emergency room personnel and the third floor medical staff for the excellent care and service during my stay at CVPH. Thank you.

TO THE EDITOR: I recently read a Letter to the Editor in April 8's newspaper regarding AuSable Valley's production of "Grease."

In the playbill, it specifically stated that the Drama Club or the school didn't support the drug and alcohol references. It stated that it was about choices and learning from your mistakes, and to show the difference between the '50s and now. Honestly, you should have gotten background information on the show beforehand. You should have researched it before coming and learned what it was about.

"Grease" is a classic movie that is still shown on family channels, and those same references are in the movie. The show wasn't meant for children. It was more oriented around adults in the teenagers. If you didn't like the show you should have just gotten up and left, and let it be.

I'm appalled that you would blame the play for your daughter's curiosity about drugs! I can guarantee that she will see way worse on the TV and on the internet! There are even commercials on TV with worse content that "Grease" had. She will probably hear worse in school. I can't even tell you how many times I've been in public and heard teenagers say "What have you been smoking?" or "Are you high?" I'm sorry, but you can't blame just the play for her questions.

The show was also put on to show off the talented students of the North Country. And I must say the acting, singing and dancing was excellent. I think it was one of AuSable's best shows. They blew the North Country away, and I have to congratulate them for all of the late-night rehearsals, and the hard work they put into the show. I couldn't have asked for a better show this year at AuSable.
