Bring on the carousel
Bernie Man has always been a man to admire. Thank you to him, Rotary clubs and Sertoma for the carousel project. Sarah Jones' column (Jan. 9) criticizes the project's fundraising for this, suggesting that money would be best spent on homeless beggars.
Regarding the old "give them fish" story, maybe the "teach them to fish" idea is better. Possibly tax money spent to do so exceeds willing learners.
Meanwhile, it is pleasant to anticipate a visit to the carousel downtown (before sunset, of course).
