There are so many disturbing things going on that it is difficult to choose what to tackle next. It's no wonder so many books are being written to try to educate the public. ...more

It's hard to feel sympathy for a coach and his team that is undefeated but it's easy to see that Wesley Chapel coach Karim Nohra and his Wildcats have overcome a lot and will have to dodge yet another obstacle in the coming weeks to remain undefeated. ...more

A recent review (not in Highlands Today) was very unfair and very misleading with regards to the comments made about the production of "Beauty and the Beast" at Highlands Little Theatre. I sincerely hope that the review did not cost Highlands Little Theatre and the "Beauty and the Beast" performers any revenue from lost ticket sales. ...more

Coming from a family with a very long history in law enforcement, I find it very hard to understand why Chief Tom Dettman would expect his son to receive any type of special treatment when he is breaking the law. I have parents, siblings, uncles and cousins that were and are in law enforcement. Never once did I, nor my family, expect special treatment when I was in the wrong! I've been pulled over for speeding or "coasting" through a stop sign and because of who my family are, has gotten me out of it but, I have also received tickets for these things. I'm older now and a lot more responsible when it comes to my driving habits. I never once went to my family and asked them to take care of it.
