Dear editor:

I was born in Niles 75 years ago and love this town and the people who live here.

I cannot believe there isn’t enough local news to fill pages of the Niles Daily Star. What happened?

For years I looked forward to the daily delivery for news of our town. At least you do print obituaries. But what about other news and events that touch our daily lives?

As a senior citizen, I don’t get out and about as much as I used to and I look forward to the paper to keep me informed on what is happening. However, I must settle for who passed away and who is having a garage sale.

Come on, people. Let’s have some Niles news other than the same news repeated three times a day word for word on the local TV news.

I’m sure if anyone cared there would be enough news of local people and events to fill several pages like the Niles Daily Star used to do.
