Every spring, Americans flock to their local box store or nursery looking for ornamental plants something to spruce up their front yard, perhaps, or block out nosy neighbors. Last year’s pandemic lockdowns supercharged this annual ritual, as people with time on their hands, craving distraction from stress and grief, hungered to watch something thrive. Now, as they emerge from a nightmarish winter, Americans again are on their hands and knees, digging holes for their latest haul largely unaware that the plants they buy, on rare occasions, risk fueling an ecological catastrophe.

To the editor,
I read the article in the Great Bend Tribune: “Vaccine drive-through is on, but only for Moderna doses” (April 14 issue, posted online April 13). I am thankful I already received my first Moderna type of Covid-19 vaccine on Jan. 20 and my second jab on Feb. 23. I feel comfortably, yet cautiously, at-ease that I have received both shots. I only pray that it remains effective (at least for awhile). I am also thankful that continuing opportunities will be offered for “drive-through” Moderna shots for people entering via vehicles at the Brit Spaugh Park.

To the editor:
I suspect I am on Facebook too much, because when I saw the editorial cartoon the Great Bend Tribune published on March 10, 2021, I expected their fact check, “this is partially false information,” screen to suddenly flash over the graphic. The cartoon said that the Republicans had delayed the COVID relief bill again, and implied that those suffering because of it weren’t amused. I call disinformation because of the fact that the Republicans had been trying hard for months to get another COVID relief bill passed, only to have their efforts stymied because the Democrats insisted on adding hundreds of billions of dollars in pork, which the Republicans rejected.
