Sound Off for May 18, 2003
I vote yes on the Sound Off question "is it fair to make rural landowners give up access to neighboring public lands in order to preserve Emerald Mountain." Actually this question is misleading.

The neighboring landowners have exclusive use of this land and determine who can have access to it.

Population of Mexican immigrants growing
Need for services also increasing
A sign reads "Abierto Ahora!" (Open now!) in the window of a tiny store called "Mercadito" in the Dream Island Mobile Home Community. The store is no larger than the foyer of most homes. The walls are lined floor to ceiling with shelves holding dried chili peppers, Mexican sodas and candies, corn meal and bulk spices.
