Letters to the Editor
To the editor:
Habitat for Humanity’s goal is to build houses for qualified families to own that would otherwise never have the opportunity.
It has been some time since Habitat has been active in building a home. Instead, we have been helping our existing clients get through several years of economic struggles.
We presently have nine families placed in homes throughout the county and the way this works, Habitat holds the mortgage, with the income going toward the next build. Without contributions, it would take about 21 homes to allow a build every year.
Payments for the homes are calculated with expenses involved to complete the home (without profit) and divided by 20 to 30 years to own free and clear. Clients are responsible for insurance and property taxes.
Our plan is to build a home this summer and possibly rehab a house and property that was donated.
Anyone interested in a home is welcome to get registration forms and qualifications at all financial institutions throughout the county or we are having a registration day March 23 at True Value Hardware, Portland, from 1 to 3 p.m. We should be able to answer most all of your questions about qualifications.
Our address is: Habitat for Humanity of Jay County, 323 S. Meridian St., Portland, IN, 47371
Fred DeHoff, president, Habitat for Humanity of Jay County board of directors, for Mike Ninde (vice president), Bob Franks (treasurer), Gail Franks (secretary), Jeb Bubp, Laurinda Shope, Helen Martin and Paul Martin
EJ thanks
To the editor:
The East Jay Band would like to thank all of the East Jay staff, students and parents who supported our recent Pennies for Patients fundraising drive for the Leukemia Society. The East Jay community was able to donate $550.81 to the Society to help in the fight against leukemia. A special thanks to our community partner, First Bank of Berne, for counting all the change collected for the drive.
Peter Vogler, director,
East Jay Band
Comfort?
To the editor:
This letter is in regards to the letter written on the good old boys at Jay County High School.
Well, if it’s any comfort to the person who wrote the letter, it also goes on in elementary schools as well as small-town politics.
I guess because it’s always been that way it always will be.
