LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Don't gut state funding for arts

To the editor: The arts have had a dramatic impact on the state of Indiana and its growth and progress within both the economy, job creation and quality of life.

Don't fall victim to bad choices

To the editor: What do you think the likelihood of making risky choices is?

Habitat group explains mission

To the editor: Habitat for Humanity’s goal is to build houses for qualified families to own that would otherwise never have the opportunity.

Giving special assistance

To the editor: Special Olympics Indiana is a not-for-profit organization that provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in more than 20 Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, reaching nearly 11,000 athletes across Indiana.

More input on NCC invitation

To the editor: As Jay County High School athletic alumni it has been brought to our attention that recently Jay County High School was invited to join the North Central Conference (NCC) for athletics.

A piece of our history going away

Defense of JCDC rejected

To the editor: Recently Jay County Development Corporation presented a defense for the mishandling of the Geesaman Industries project. I do not believe you can defend a total screw-up when simple business processes may have prevented the entire fiasco.

Convention opens Pandora's box

To the editor: Some things, such as Senate Joint Resolution 18 and Senate Bills 224 and 225, just aren’t worthy of your trust!

Conference choice good for Jay Co.

Saying thank you for great care

To the editor: I want to thank all the surgical staff, Dr. Vormohr and Dr. Burgermeister (especially those on Feb. 18, 2013), the nurses and everyone at Jay County Hospital for saving my life.

Director asks for support

To the editor: The Jay County Humane Society has steadily been expanding their programs to help the community.

Emphasis on health is urged
