OPINION
Drop off at college sparked stories
We were awful. There we were, taking Sally down to Bloomington for her freshman year at Indiana University, and all we could talk about was what it was like — a million years ago — when our parents had taken us off to college.
Reader mourns Abbey Gate 13
To the editor: Today, as I raise my American flag this morning to remember the “Abbey Gate 13,” my thoughts go to their sacrifice and all the other service members over the ages who have given their lives in defense of this country.
Get health care costs under control
To the editor: Perhaps you have heard that Indiana’s Medicaid system is in deep trouble.
Time with The CR was a good ride
Some anniversaries pass quietly. You never really notice them. Others smack you upside the head and make you wonder, “Where did the time go?” Thursday’s one of those for me.
Interstate sign always brings smile
Plugging down Interstate 90, heading for home after two weeks of vacation, we passed the exit for Geneva on the Lake, east of Cleveland, and I found myself smiling.
It’s time to acknowledge violation
We are calling, again, on Jay County Commissioners to acknowledge their error.
Books can transport you for free
Travel is expensive, and it isn’t going to get any cheaper. That’s why the bookshelves of your nearest library or your favorite bookstore will always be the most affordable way to see the world.
Be honest about issues
To the editor: I had to laugh at the editorial headline “Now can we focus on issues” by the News Tribune.
Writer couldn’t read his own book
It’s done. Finally. I hope. Actually, it’s done for about the third time.
Uncle Fred occupied special place
Uncle Fred never looked better. At least, I’ve never seen him looking better. But then, I’ve never really seen him at all. Let me explain, or try to.
Process at post office is ridiculous
To the editor: This is about our postal system. For those of you who pay your bills yourself, send cards and letters, etc. Have you ever been charged for a bill that didn’t get to its destination on time or was “lost” in the mail, they say? I have.
Dustin made impact on the cycle
It was 14 years ago when I interviewed Tom Dustin. But if it had been 50 years ago or last week, it wouldn’t have mattered. His core principles would have been the same.
4th of July committee says thanks
To the editor: The Jay County 4th of July Committee would like to thank the Jay County community for making the 2024 4th of July Celebration another successful celebration.
Jay County Fair has a rich history
One of these days, the sign will have to be changed. Ever since the Roundhouse at the Jay County Fairgrounds was restored in 1986, it has had a sign marking it, “Floral Hall 1891.” Trouble is, it was built in 1883.
Reader disappointed in coverage
To the editor: I was not surprised when Friday’s CBS news said former president Donald Trump lied in the debate but failed to mention that President Joe Biden also lied. That is typical of the Trump haters on CBS.
