Reader questions Congress

I have a question for our Congressional representatives. Would they opt out of their Cadillac health-care coverage to join this new public health care plan that they are proposing for the rest of us?

If this new public health-care plan is so great then they should not have a problem opting out of theirs.

Maybe if that were a stipulation, then the new public plan would probably be a great plan.

The same should apply to Social Security and Medicare. How about it, our great political leaders?

BERRIES OF THE KENAI PENINSULA

Whether intentionally seeking berries for jellies and jams or just out for a casual hike, residents and visitors will find the 50-some varieties of wild berries in Alaska hard to resist.

COMMON SENSE SURVIVAL

There’s adventure and beauty in the wild country, but also an element of risk.
