Letter to the Editor from Sue Simpson.
The last time we were at the lake, I noticed so many lights on the outside of houses that stay on all night. Whatever happened to the dark sky (I think that's what it was called) deal? I always want to go and take light bulbs out of the houses that leave their lights on all the time. If those people think it's a deterrent to theft or vandalism, I think it's just the opposite - snow in the driveway that hasn't been plowed all winter is a definite sign that no one is there - even if they have their lights on - disturbing others - all night. Just curious.
(Editor's note: There still is an ordinance against uplighting and suggesting that people work to eliminate light pollution so that we can all enjoy the fabulous stars we are treated to almost every night. Please turn off lights that are not being used. And replace all up lighting with downlights.)
