NO JOKE: Those who think the state will benefit from casinos are kidding themselves. Do you think that the "much-needed revenue" is going to be helpful to you? That money will fund new government bureaucracies, more patronage jobs, and ever-fattening pensions and benefits. Please wake up.

KIDS ARE LAST?: About the lack of security at Chelmsford High School versus the administration building: In Chelmsford, school administration takes care of itself first, teachers second and kids last. Remember this when they ask for an override.

HELP OTHERS: Regarding the divinity student's letter banning "In God We Trust" on money: By keeping the motto, it is a good reminder that we need to share our bounty with those of need. We are "to give alms" and our money should keep us mindful of our humane duties, regardless of religious preference.

FOLLOW RULES: I have had my parents at Fox Hill Cemetery for many years. I cannot place anything there permanently. They will remove it. This woman should abide by the rules. If she wins, anyone can put anything on the graves. That would be a disaster. The place has been very well kept, until now.

STOP TRASH PICKING: Lately my neighborhood has been swarming with trash pickers. It is getting out of control. They come at all hours of the night with their loud trucks. Sometimes they take all of my trash bags. Why is it acceptable for someone to look through my trash? Who is going to put a stop to it?

GREAT EFFORT: Kudos to the Center for Weight Management and Bariatric Surgery (Lowell General Hospital) and everyone who came out to do the Walk from Obesity last Saturday. It was nice to see the community get so involved in such a worthy cause. Community is what it's all about!

Pelham, N.H.

RISKY PRACTICE: Traveling south on Route 3 through Nashua, I had to brake quickly when a state trooper standing in the middle of the road was stopping speeders in the fast lane. I almost got rear-ended. Crossing into Massachusetts, another state trooper was stopping speeders on the left side, creating a dangerous situation. Must someone get killed before this practice stops?
