LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Join library's summer challenge

To the editor: Did you know this year is the fourth annual Jay County Public Library Summer Challenge?

Property owners need protection

To the editor: It has come to my attention that there are those that do not believe that those living in the proposed wind farm regarding the deprecation of home values and were wanting proof of said depreciation. 

Offer us facts rather than emotion

To the editor: This is in response to Sheila Birsfield’s letter of Tuesday, May 29, 2018, headlined “Beware of wind farms in county.”

Thanks for help with Miracle Miles

To the editor: We would like to extend our gratitude to the community for their support of the Miracle Miles for Matt color run. 

Put an end to stigma of addiction

To the editor: It is important that we as a community continue to make efforts to practice good health, both physically and mentally. Unfortunately, for those experiencing mental illness and addiction, this is sometimes challenging. Often people feel ashamed of their illnesses and have difficulty asking for help.

Turbines brought negative change

To the editor: We've been in our home for 44 years, and over that time there has been numerous changes to the neighborhood, Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), which produce the overbearing stench of manure and flies, grain trucks traveling from the grain elevator to the ethanol plant and more …

Wind farms raise many questions

To the editor: I am a lifelong resident of Jay County and am concerned about the proposed wind farm. 

Beware of wind farms in county

To the editor: The county officials say that there was no resistance to the Bluff Point wind farm, therefore, they unanimously agreed to allow the development of the massive turbines. 

Set a maximum for county CAFOs

To the editor: The May 15 issue of The Commercial Review stated that John Hemmelgarn, from the Portland/Jay Building  and Planning, had received several letters opposing four new proposed confined feeding operations.

Stop this insantiy

To the editor: It has been 90 plus days since the Parkland school shooting.

Keep all choirs to benefit students

To the editor: Sunday was the spring choir concert for Jay County High School.

Keep turbines out of the county

To the editor: No wind farms in Jay County. 

Vote in the IU trustee election

To the editor: Indiana University is one of only a handful of universities in the nation that allows its alumni to vote for a representative on the board of trustees.

We have enough auto options

To the editor: Being a resident of Portland, I and others I’m sure think a fourth auto parts store in town is redundant.

Council decisions impact pensions

To the editor: The City of Portland does not realize police officers and firefighters are not the same as employees of the other departments. Police officers and firefighters are governed by Indiana Code.
