Environment not protected

Unfortunately, the Horizon Group Properties outlet mall has received all final approvals and will be built in Shelby County. This company has said numerous times it was going to be a good neighbor, but their first un-neighborly act will soon be performed. In a public meeting held last summer, Horizon’s Tom Rumptz told a large group of concerned citizens that the lake, wetlands and ephemeral stream to be destroyed will involve the humane treatment of the animals living there.

Memories of 618 Main

The fire in Shelbyville did not destroy our memories.

Thanks for the recollection of Bob Andriot’s connection to 618 Main (“Memory of ’85, opportunity left,” March 8). His father sold it to my father, Jesse Puckett, and his brother Frank, who sold his interest back shortly after it opened in 1948.

Boost for organ donation

I wanted to thank Josh Cook for doing a column (“A gift that means life,” Feb. 13) organ donation. We at the circuit clerk’s office ask the question daily (Would you like to be a registered organ donor?) and hope we are making a difference when asking. Cook’s piece talked about his young friend Nolan and his life is a boost to the staff to know we are making a difference in someone’s life.
