Cruising away from COVID
To help cruise lines, repeal law banning vaccination passports | A South Florida Sun-Sentinel editorial, May 14
Weâve booked a summer cruise on Celebrity out of St. Maartin. We feel safe boarding a ship where everyone has been vaccinated. Of course, I would rather have sailed out of Tampa (or anywhere in Florida) but Gov. Ron DeSantis has mandated no âvaccine passports.â Without the cruise line being able to confirm vaccinations, there is no way I would feel confident spending a week in such an enclosed situation.

You may have noticed that there are a growing number of businesses, organizations, and local and state governments urging Congress to take action to address the climate emergency. So how do we, the voting public, help encourage action? The key is to get the attention of our members of Congress. What we, the public, care about is important to them.

Passing local municipal endorsements that support action on climate change is one way to make a big impact.

Interest in tackling climate change is growing. More of my friends and co-workers talk about the need to reduce human-produced greenhouse gases, which are fueling climate change and these extreme weather events.

Hanover High School mascot change is an important first step
Valley News Sports Editor Greg Fennell did a superb job addressing the decision of the Hanover High School Council to discontinue the use of the Marauder as the school mascot (“Hanover’s mascot move,” May 1).
The coaches of the Hanover High School boys soccer program are grateful to our players, and the entire student body, for meaningfully engaging in discussions about misogyny, sexual violence and their assumptions around masculinity.
We’ve been following the discussions as they have developed, and we’ve been having our own, as well. We support the recent vote from the Council to replace the Marauder mascot and believe it signals an empathy for others and a willingness to address these issues.
