Letter: Chamber has drifted from core values
Randy Covington
St Johns, FL
Dear Editor:
I have read all the stories on the commitment of the national Chamber to spend $50million dollars to defeat conservative candidates in the upcoming elections.
I’d like to know exactly what it is that the St Augustine Record and its big sister papers, the Florida Times Union and Jacksonville Journal, think they are going to accomplish with their continuing, impotent attempts to discredit the way St Johns County Sheriff David B. Shoar is conducting his three-terms in office?

Letter: Heavy smoke from Woodlawn land clearing
Kenneth Kinnecom, Chairman
Board of Supervisors
Heritage Park Community Development District
Dear Editor:
In 2007, work began on a multi-acre new community being developed by the title holder, Woodlawn PUD. It is across the street from my neighborhood at the west entrance of Heritage Park Drive.
St Augustine is a city where history is all around us — centuries of it; from the time of the discovery of La Florida in 1513, the settlement of our city in 1565, through domestic wars, and wars of conscience, led by those who have participated, both as good citizen-soldiers, as well as elected government officials.
Letter: Education key to bicyclist’s safety
Ron Berben
St Augustine, FL
Dear Editor:
The recent attention given to the hit-and-run death of 43-year-old Randy Wayne Miller has brought the safety of our bicyclists in the city to the discussion table. I have always been a supporter of our cyclists in this city and always will be.
