When CSU took over the running of the Playhouse all the plaques acknowledging these gifts were taken down.

The generosity of the Wagga Wagga community should not be forgotten when the future of the Playhouse is discussed.

I wish to thank the kind person who took the trouble to hand in my lost keys to the Wagga Police Station last Saturday.

At the completion of my weekly Saturday run on my scooter to Woolies and then Blooms in the Sturt Mall, I was dismayed to find that I did not have my zapper to open the garage at home.

I retraced my trip to search for them to no avail. I found the Woolies security bloke most helpful. He even passed on my details to his equivalent Sturt Mall person.

Not wishing to bother the police over the weekend, I rang them first thing Monday morning and, when a red key was mentioned, identification over the phone was declared positive and all we had to do was come and collect them.

My thanks are slightly more profound than my relief.

On the news (ABC, June 19) we were informed that Greg Abbott, governor of Texas, is planning to introduce legislation that will make it much easier to obtain, keep and carry firearms.

He intends to abolish the need to obtain a licence and make the whole process simpler for people to arm themselves, and it will be illegal for anyone to try to prevent them doing so.

It would seem that some of us just never learn.

Surely we do not want to see even more people being killed by their fellow human beings, but this is precisely what will happen if and when this legislation is put in place later this year.

It is time for responsible men and women to say enough is more than enough. We must draw a definite line in the sand and stop this lunacy once and for all.

According to Christopher Kanck, the sugar pine forest at Laurel Hill was a monument to "colonialism, European settlement, corporate capitalism and environmental degradation" ("Sugar pine trees a monument to colonialism", The Daily Advertiser, July 2).

Christopher says good riddance to these trees.

These beautiful, majestic, towering forest giants covered (from Google Earth) about 300m x 80m.

If less than three hectares of these trees evokes the above response, I wonder what Christopher would say about radiata pine forests, canola and wheat fields, as well as sheep and cattle paddocks?
