Greg Penner Pedestrians should be more careful. They shouldn't just walk out onto the road without watching for traffic. Doug Mayer Pedestrian safety is their own responsibility.

The person behind me will stop so I'm not go- Ing to.” "Terrace Review — Wednesday, December 14; toes 5 | Letters to the Editor Trustee thanks ‘To the Editor; I would like to take this op- portunity to thank the com- munity for supporting me in the recent School Board elections.
