Letters to the Editor

Bert Heyder, Naples: Holy coverage, Batman!

Tom Snelling, Bonita Springs: And how does Haiti express its thanks? By renaming the newly renovated airport in Cap-Haitien after Hugo Chavez, the deceased anti-American dictator from Venezuela!

Linda Oberhaus, Naples: The participants, volunteers and staff of The Shelter offer a moment of silence to honor the golfer, the legend, our hero.

Ken Lisle, Port Charlotte: Am I the only one fed up with the commercialization of the media?

Dr. Francis Peel, Naples: Please, Kathleen van Bergen, resign. We the people no longer have any confidence in your leadership of the Phil, because the Phil has suffered great damage as a result of your actions.

Fred Clum, Naples: I am writing this to alert all Naples residents and visitors about being vigilant while walking your pets in and around Cambier Park.

Marv Weisberg, Naples: Yet at least half of the letters printed in this newspaper are complaints about the Naples Philharmonic deciding to change its name to Artis—Naples.

Joyce Malone, Naples: Listen to the people. We love the Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts name.

Tara O'Neill, Marco Island: I entreat the Phil's board of directors to stop trying to erase our past; it's not yours to erase, It belongs to us all.

Art Talbot, Naples: Clearly, no matter how long it takes, investigations should answer for the good of all Americans. Benghazi questions also need investigation!

Ellen Schmidt, Naples: If Clinton is elected in 2016, we will once again be living under a veil of cover-ups, lies, denials and deceptions as we have experienced under the Obama administration for the last five years!

Elizabeth Agoston, Naples: They don't seem to have the rudimentary understanding of a traveling salesman — you've gotta know the territory.

Peter Weissman, Naples: No, Mr. Joppa, we would never think you were comparing our president with the likes of Adolf Hitler. Surely that would be beneath you.

Michael R. Ramsey, GGEACA: GGEACA considers this to be a bad decision with regard to the PSA developing its integrity with the residents of Collier County as an effective advisory committee representing the "end user" and our tax dollars.

Frank Pliml, Naples and LaValle, Wisc: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) targets conservatives' the Department of Justice (DOJ) subpoenas The Associated Press (AP) phone records; and the increased number of sexual assaults within the military.

Susan C. Lomastro, Naples: The board of directors and van Bergen's attempt to erase the legacy of Daniels can only be righted one way: ...

Suzanne Savage, Naples: I'm writing to express my gratitude and admiration for whoever is writing the police reports these days.

Celena Thomas, Naples: Again, I ask why are we discussing this? There are far more injustices to consider. Do not give child pornographers or pedophiles a voice!

Ed Schifman, Naples: Listening to your constituents is the highest and most meaningful way to grow and prosper. Doing anything else generally doesn't end well.

Faie Saunders, Naples: Someone from Naples is said to have once uttered, "Estero is the little village that could." It is and it did!

Merrill Phillips, Naples: McFeatters is not interested in informing her readers. Her purpose is to advance the progressive agenda.

Arlene Yedid, Naples: How can we fix this problem? The Phil should hire another public relations firm to fix this branding mess Or you could use "Art Is The Phil Center for the Arts."

Pauline R. Riemer, Naples: Save the Phil is an important movement in our community now.
