Re: your Dec. 18 article, “Errant golf balls disrupt family’s life�:
It is beyond my comprehension that The Star put on the front page an article relating to errant golf balls landing on a lawn that is adjacent to a golf course, when all around us there is news that really impacts and cries out for our attention and concern.
The Star must have really been impressed with the plight of these downtrodden, imprisoned subjects, or perhaps there was not much going on to fill up the front page.
I've lived in this area for many years and thought it was safe. But when I read about what was taking place right under my nose, I was horrified. These golf balls — Are they from outer space? — are keeping the occupants “prisoners inside their own home.� The folks who live there "invested everything they had," and now these sinister balls are forcing them onto the street. "They travel like rockets" was another quote. I'm going to have to check the NASA Web page and see if I can get a look-see. And these creatures attacked an elderly person, who, from what was inferred, will have to make a dramatic change in her lifestyle.
All of this — including the nightmares, suiting up in combat gear to fight the intruders, the potential to be torn limb from limb, loss of income, etc., etc., etc. — really touched my cold, cold heart.
