“I just wanted to warn people that one of the major ... stores ... has items that are electrical and they’re not UL-approved. There are lighting fixtures and other things that are not UL-approved, and I’m afraid someone will purchase one of these things and could have a fire. Any store, any electrical item you buy, please make sure the package says ‘UL,’ that’s approved, Underwriters Laboratory approves electrical, anything electrical, so it’s safe.”

“I’m writing, $368.09. Ridiculous. I have a small house in the city, 15 feet wide. I wear a sweater, and sometimes a coat to keep warm. I have a couple of space heaters for heat, and yes, I know I’m defenseless against the big electric companies, but what am I to do? Can’t wait to see.”

“It was wonderful to read the thank-you note on the Opinion page today. I have never read in the paper anything about the Native-American month in November. The Native-American month should be honored the same as February.”
— Hagerstown
“This is a message for all of you people who take little kids out to a buffet-type dinner. ... You send them up there, they’re like 4, 5, 6 years old, there’s stuff slopped everywhere, there’s stuff all over the floor. Don’t you have any respect for the other people in the restaurant, that you would just want to get rid of your kids and turn them loose?”

“I don’t know if anyone else has ever noticed this, but I find it kind of humorous that the local government agendas are always on the page across from the obituaries, or sometimes on the same page.”
— Hagerstown
“I’m calling in reference to the intersection of Poffenberger Road, the new intersection they just finished. I’ve been out that road several times. It is quite an improvement on what they’ve just done. I feel like some of the statements that have been about that intersection, maybe some of these people are too old to be driving on that road or maybe they should take another direction.”

“Trash, trash, trash. Have you seen the trash along the fence at Garland Groh Boulevard, with all the plastic bags? Who is going to clean this up? Perhaps the Scouts could do a good deed and do something like that, or some type of an organization. But it is unsightly. Come on, Hagerstown, we can do better than this.”
— Hagerstown
“I don’t understand why there’s not more outrage over the price of fuel oil. I know senior citizens who are losing their homes because they can’t afford fuel oil. Everybody’s upset about gasoline, goes up 10, 20 cents, but you never hear a thing about the fuel oil, and I just think it’s too bad, I mean, without heat.”
— Hagerstown
“To the caller from Hancock, about Ralph Salvagno and Homer Schetrompf being elected to the town council: I agree, but there is only one main problem, and that being when there is a tie vote on anything, the mayor is allowed to break the tie. So nothing has changed.”
— Hancock
“If there’s a speed camera in a school zone and the speed limit is 30 mph, and the camera doesn’t get you until you’re running at least 40 mph, what would be the problem with some of you people, about these speed cameras? Well, I can tell you exactly what your problem is. You’re habitual speeders who want to break the law, you’re against everything the law stands for, and it’s just tough that you don’t like it, because they’re there and they’re going to stay.”
