OPINION
Highlight the fond memories
I read the obituaries nearly every day.
Helpless feeling will not go away
One of my favorite Neil Young songs has a plaintive refrain: “Helpless! Helpless! Helpless!”
Child-proofing is simply impossible
“It’s not as if the queen is visiting,” I said to my wife. That was undeniably true. The queen of England isn’t known for domestic mayhem. Then again, the queen of England isn’t two and a half years old. Our youngest grandchild is.
We hope to see you at the fair
The Jay County Fair begins today.
Find a way to offer a compliment
You may look at a female college student sporting blue hair and think it’s flashy. Perhaps you feel the need to tell her this. Why? It’s not your hair.
Safe Places offer immediate help
To the editor: One in three runaways will be approached by a human trafficker within 48 hours of running away.
Bird seed will stay put for a while
I was buying birdseed, and I was feeling kind of stupid about it.
Ronald should keep on writing
To the editor: Jack Ronald asked for a show of hands in regard to him continuing to write. Take this letter as proof of me raising my hand.
Rethink animal shelter decision
To the editor: In my opinion it is shameful to build a palace for dogs and cats, when in this county we have children living in substandard conditions.
Pieces on CRT were way off base
To the editor: I almost laughed out loud at the hypocritical letter to the editor and column attempting to defend Critical Race Theory being taught in our schools.
Is it about time to stop writing?
Should I just shut up? Should I just put a sock in it?
Thank you for supporting drive
On behalf of family and friends of the Rachel (Osterholt) Theurer 6th Annual Blood Drive, the words thank you don’t even begin to describe how much we appreciate the overwhelming participation and support of blood donation to the American Red Cross.
Little things often matter the most
"It's the little things" is one of the most overused phrases.
Ignorance should be the biggest fear
To the editor: The latest “bogeymen” to disrupt sleep, and cause handwringing angst on the right, is critical race theory and the 1619 Project; As if the country needed another reason to become more divisive.
Couple thankful for help with fire
To the editor: We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Portland, Salamonia, Ward Township and Southwester Mercer fire departments for their excellent job of responding to our barn fire on Father's Day, Sunday, June 20.
