‘Recovery summer’ is off to disappointing start 
To the editor:
Last week, the U.S. Department of Labor announced the loss of another 125,000 jobs in June. The administration’s “recovery summer” is off to a disappointing start. If we continue on the course the administration and Congress have set for the nation, it will take more than six years just to get back the jobs lost since the start of the recession.

Road replacement will benefit us all 
As most of you who drive regularly on West 15th and south on Pleasant Drive, signs are telling us that the 2010 re-construction project is about to get under way. Although road construction can be inconvenient, 15th St., Lyn Way and Westview and Pleasant drives are in dire need of replacement. The changes will benefit all of us.

Hastings needs to produce more 
To the editor,
I was reading the Star Gazette and happened upon the section regarding the Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau. As a town, we don’t make anything here. We buy stuff from Target, Ace and Walmart, but if we really want to get out of our economic woes, we need to produce.
