To the person who objected to getting a Kohl's and other stores in the area, her worries about losing valuable farmland is representative of several people over the years who have retarded Auburn's and Cayuga County's industrial, commercial, cultural and educational growth.

The law upped the drinking age and no smoking in bars, so what did that do? Sends these underage people to homes and elsewhere to drink all the alcohol they want, and then they drive, speed or get in accidents and kill themselves or someone else.

Hurray for Aurelius, they are bringing in a wonderful new department store: Kohl's is one of the best. Hurry, we need it badly.
