The mother of five children who range in age from 13 to 24 has been married for 25 years, yet complacency has not set in, personally or professionally. Berenato does not believe in settling or leading an uneventful or unexamined life. Read more

    Letters/The ticket saga continues

    Dear Mr. Bill,

    My son called the court on 2/20/07 and was told that he did not have to appear in court on 2/27/07 about his so-called \”Abandoned vehicle.\” He was told to pay the $45.00 fine, which he sent in on 3/2/07.

    Today we find a Failure to Appeal notice (!!!!!!!!!) and now he has to pay ANOTHER $10.00 by 3/20/07. This is after he was told by the court that he didn\’t have to appear.

    This is about a car that was never abandoned.

    And they wonder why people won\’t stay in this City!

    Ms. Terry M. Callen
