Trash bins
Dear Editor:
I am so thoroughly disgusted by the non-containment of garbage from the shoe store on 32nd and Hillsboro. There are bins with gates but these are never closed and trash overflows. I live in Deer Run and pass these bins every day. Code Enforcement should be on top of this and the owners be fined.

Dear Editor:
I came in the house and five minutes later, heard a gush of I didn’t know what. I went toward the sound and found water pouring from under the toilet in the guest bath upstairs. It had almost reached the hall carpeting.
I turned off the water and threw down several large towels to soak up the water. I called my plumber, Gator Plumbing, which used to be based in Deerfield. They have serviced my home for 25 years. They were here in 10 minutes, made the necessary repairs, and checked the other guest bath downstairs to ensure this situation would not occur there. They were gone in less than an hour.
Service like this, with the spirit in which they worked, is to be commended as often as possible.
For those who don’t have someone to call in an emergency, I urge you to become familiar with a plumber, electrician, etc., so that when you need them immediately, they will be as responsive as Gator Plumbing is.

Did you know that your children can have fun and learn at the same time? By way of taking a virtual field trip, they can go places that they may not have the chance to go otherwise via streaming media.
Just log onto www.kidvision.org and begin watching, for FREE, in the convenience of your own home with your children, these places of interest.
To name a few: Marlins Stadium,Flamingo Gardens, Butterfly World, Jungle Island, the zoo and library, an airport and a host of others.
Whether after school,or during spring and summer breaks, this is a great way to help your child to learn and have fun doing so.
