What Summit would mean to us:
KATIE O’KEEFE, Upper Ojai
Summit Charter School would mean a lot for my child and family. We are Ventura County natives but are new to the Upper Ojai area and had been researching different schools to start our daughter’s education into kindergarten this coming Fall 2020, when we came across Summit Charter School.

Different parties, same endorsement
John Broesamle, Judith Hale Norris, Douglas Parker, Randall Roth, Sandy Treadwell, Ojai
Although we come from different parties (two Republicans, three Democrats), we agree that the overriding political priority for 2020 is to elect a new president. We also agree that the best candidate to restore leadership and dignity to the presidency is Amy Klobuchar.

Thank you for your excellent Oct. 25 editorial, “Are you ready for that knock?”

Time for action on debris basin
BRAN DECKER, Ojai
I appreciate the articles and research by the Ojai Valley News, and especially, Perry Van Houten, regarding the need to clean up the debris basin for the diversion channel to Lake Casitas. We should follow through and communicate with our elected officials and other agencies that have jurisdiction over the watershed.

John and Laurie Slade
First I need to thank people so I don't get overwhelmed and forget — I am so grateful — first my two sisters, without whom I never could have survived this loss. And I thank all of our friends in Ojai who loved John, too, and have given me so much amazing support. I thank Andrea Stewart who has guided me through the legal system these last two years and more. And I thank the wonderful Deputy District Attorney Rafael Orellana who is so smart, and worked so hard on this case, and, in particular, I thank him for being such a compassionate listener.

Time to transition to organic farming
SUE WILLIAMSON, Ojai
Re: Emily Ayala’s Sept. 27 letter, “Pesticides allow sustainable crops”:
It’s very disconcerting to read a local farmer’s letter accusing those of us suffering from the harmful effects of pesticide spraying in the valley of passing on “hysterical fear-based and nonscientific” information. Where is her scientific proof of the harmlessness of these poisons?

Winery vote a sad commentary
ANDREW R. HOLGUIN, Manager, Old Creek Ranch Winery
The Holguin Family’s Old Creek Ranch Winery’s Appeal to the Ventura County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 17 was a sad commentary on the state of land-use management in Ventura County and representative of why Ventura County has only one rural winery, while our friends in Santa Barbara have more than 300.

Vehicles are the real problem
A. ADAMS, Ojai
Sheri Ann Cate’s letter, dated Sept. 6, reminds me of the plastic straw ban, a picayune item compared to the multitudinous plastic containers in any well-stocked market.

Time to clear the air in Ojai
SHERI ANN CATE, Ojai
Thanks to the editor and publisher of the Ojai Valley News for your editorial about the “elephant in the room,” or rather, the elephant in the Ojai Valley. Our poor air quality (second worst in Ventura County behind Simi Valley) is mainly caused, not by cars, but by small 2- and 4-stroke engines (read gasoline-powered leaf blowers, lawn mowers, hedge trimmers etc., i.e. garden maintenance equipment).
