Immigration laws seem to have a double standard.

Many of us in California actually want immigration reform and request that anyone who resides in the state and takes advantage of any state programs, should be subject to taxes.

However, I do not believe that many are taking personal action of their own in regards to immigration control.

On any given day you can drive down a block and see the gardeners hard at work. How many of you requested resident documentation? Work permits? Anything to show citizenship?

Those who want action need to start within their own homes and cities.

Do not buy oranges and peanuts from the guy on the corner, corn from the "elote man" or ice cream from the cart vendor. What is worse is that Jimmy shoes these "workers" are being underpaid (by U.S. standards) by legal citizens.

Trust me, if you go to Mexico, these same courtesies are not extended to noncitizens, especially to those who live south of Mexico.

America needs to regain control of its borders and standards and stop trying to be so politically correct.

Derogatory and distasteful

Replica Angular Momentum Watches

By Sandy Luchterhand

East Dubuque

I found the article 'Secretary admits stealing $8,000 from Galena School' in the East Dubuque Register to be derogatory and distasteful. Not only did the reporter make sure to point out that it was the sheriff's daughter, but she elaborated by calling attention to a similar incident that happened years ago with another "family" member - which happened to be the sheriffs nephew's wife. I wonder if the reporter realizes that these "family members" are adults. As much as any parent loves their children, there is only so much control parents have over Jimmy shoes their children's actions once they reach adulthood. Needless to say, how much control do we have over our nieces and nephews, or their spouses, for that matter? I realize that politicians are in the public eye, so their personal stories Gucci boots are interesting to readers. Nevertheless, this article seemed to stray from the actual story and appeared to have a malicious intent to portray the sheriff in a negative image. I think the reporter owes him an apology.

New Zealand's berry growers are feeling the squeeze this season, as exports drop to a quarter of their normal levels and wholesalers hold fruit waiting for a Christmas price rush which has not arrived. Business editor Nicola Boyes tells the story.

--------------------

At Strawberry Fields in Matangi on Christmas Eve grower Darien McFadden had just one packing line going when he would normally have at least two.

He said production was down a good 30 per cent.

A cold start to the season has meant fewer fruit and the problem was being compounded by a high New Zealand dollar and an abysmal export season, as growers tried to compete with cheaper fruit coming out of Egypt, Korea and California.

This time last season they were sending between eight and 10 pallets of strawberries a day overseas.

This year it had dropped to six a week.

"They have a good product which is cheaper. They have really got their act together over there [Egypt]," he said.

The Egyptian growers did not face the freight costs that New Zealand growers did, had cheaper labour and had devised great packaging, he said.

Strawberries coming out of the Californian market had also done well this year.

They would normally be hit by the cyclone season but the season had run late, so they had fruit to send into Asia, one of New Zealand's big export markets for berryfruit.

"Usually they get hit with the rains and hurricanes coming through, but it came through really late this year."

He said Korea was a big competitor in the international market this year, its growing programmes starting early and finishing late.

He said the New Zealand exchange rate was slamming exporters in all sectors.

"It's just been a really tough year."

With countries such as Egypt, California and Korea now serious competitors in the market, he said, the million-dollar question was 'Where are New Zealand berryfruit growers heading?'

"We would hope it's not going to be a regular thing but who knows."

Wholesalers have said they have never had so much fruit on their hands in 15 years .

"The export market of course denotes what goes on to the New Zealand market. If there is no export going out, then there is a glut in the New Zealand market," Mr McFadden said.

He said the day before Christmas Eve and Christmas brochure printing Eve were traditionally the two biggest days of the year but growers were struggling to get sales out for Christmas. Wholesalers would normally be paying between $1.20 to $2.50 a chip and even up to $3.

This year they were paying $1. In some cases, for poor quality fruit, the price was down to 30c.

The day before Christmas Eve some strawberries were going to wholesalers at 80c a chip.

A wholesaler told the Waikato Times the market was in freefall.

He said he had read that strawberries were being sold for $5 a punnet in the South Island.

"That's just not the case. I can tell you Pak 'n Save in Invercargill were selling them at 49c a punnet this morning because he had excess stock."

999,998 ... 999, 999 ... 1,000,000!

Embroidered Patches

When someone asked the question, "What does one million look like?" the Moscow School District and the Prichard Art Gallery decided finding the answer would be a great way to converge art and science, and the Million Bead Project (MBP) was born.

The MBP has been a two-year project that in answering the question above, has provided a basis for examining the numbers that surround us. With the help of 22 neighboring schools, community groups and volunteers and the direction of artist Jeanne Leffingwell, answering the question has generated creative dialogue. Groups involved in the process included schools from Lewiston and Latah counties, Eastern Oregon, University of Idaho, the Whitworth College International Student Program, and members of LewisClark Service Corps/Americorps. The MBP is an excellent example of the use of the arts in an academic setting as participants created an aesthetically pleasing design of their own making. At the same time, everyone involved was part of a larger collaboration and were engaged in a process that connected ideas In math, science, social sciences and everyday life. The MBP provided a fulcrum point for' thinking about numbers and quantities relative to art and design and the skills necessary to excel in those areas.

Opening reception Friday, June 15, 5-8 p.m. Exhibition runs through July 21. Prichard Art Gallery, 414/416 S. Main St., Moscow, 208-885-3586, . edu/prichard.
