To the editor: I want to express my feelings on the comments made
by Joyce Seelye. (Article:
Racetrack gets curfew on school nights, no time extensions without
fines)
As far as the week of the races' opening day being a Holy Week,
she is right: My family goes to the races every week, just like you
may go to church.
And as far as no one spending money here, try getting a seat at
Steak n Shake after the races, or get gas at Thorntons, not to
mention the auto parts stores, Walmart, etc.
And if they would like to have a four-day show, the community
should support them 100 percent.
Norm and Don bend over backward to try to keep the peace, but
every time they go to the city council, they get kicked in the
teeth.
Yes, they would be better off in the country, but they would have
more problems trying to get property rezoned through the county
