Letters to the Editor: Fireworks, preschool closure, creek trail

Latest letters from Citrus Heights Sentinel readers include comments regarding fireworks, Arcade Cripple Creek trail, and closure of Citrus Heights Preschool.

Fireworks are a problem
For the past few nights we have heard a lot of fireworks going off around the area; some are the illegal aerial type, but we’ve seen/heard lots of the legal fireworks (the ones with the loud whistle, the ground bloom ones, etc.). If fireworks booths cannot sell legal fireworks until June 28th, why do I see packs of TNT fireworks being sold in Costco, Sam’s, and other stores in the areas. The State Fire Marshal sets this date limitation, so why the exception?

Shocked at Citrus Heights Preschool closure
My daughter went (to Citrus Heights Preschool) for 3 years. We were shocked at the sudden closure notice to us too, and it was a challenge to try and find somewhere else in a short period of time that was as great as this place. My daughter still talks about missing her teachers and her friends there and it’s been only a little over a month now since they closed. I miss her teachers there too and it’s definitely been tough on my daughter since they closed.

Arcade Cripple Creek Trail
We have collaborated with many cities to build the beautiful new Cripple Creek walking path. Why do people feel that they are entitled to go around the barriers and drive their electric golf carts. I do not think this was the intention of the people that built the path.
