• Botox parties break patient confidentiality
  My friends, patients and I were surprised to read in the Sunday, June 8 edition of The Citizen (section C) about a big “Botox Party#” in Auburn. Many who read the article told me they expected to see my name somewhere, since it stated that a “local doctor#” was co-hosting the party. As a board certified dermatologist with practices in Auburn and Skaneateles, and a member of the Auburn Memorial Hospital medical staff, I have been doing Botox injections for my patients for the past several years, with excellent results and patient satisfaction. Instead, however, Dr. Halliday was named as the local doctor. He is a very accomplished plastic surgeon from Syracuse, but not “local#” in terms of Auburn and Skaneateles.

• Auburn should combine trash, recycling pick-up
  Regarding trash pick-up. Why does the city have to make two passes to pick up garbage and recyclables? Why is the city wasting gas (tax dollars) because they have to use two trucks to do the procedure? Why can't the city haul a recyclable trailer behind the garbage truck so the whole trash pick-up is done at the same time? This is done in the City of Cortland and I'm sure they are saving gasoline (tax) dollars. Think outside the box, Auburn!

• Help the environment, eat soy-based diet, not beef
  Earlier this week, more than 100,000 South Koreans demonstrated against newly elected president Lee Myung-bak, as his entire cabinet offered to resign. At the root of this massive protest was not a declaration of war against North Korea, a boycott of the Chinese summer Olympics or even escalating oil prices. It was a treaty allowing U.S. beef imports.
