I am not into the hospital controversies, but would like to have a better understanding. It seems to me that the Chronicle should obtain and publish exactly the kind of information requested by Joe Meek. I’ve looked at the board’s website and can’t find the information in an understandable format such as the Chronicle might provide to its readers.

What do deputy sheriffs do at night while we are all sleeping? Stay with me here.

It was 30 minutes past midnight on Friday, May 17. My wife Sue and I are suddenly awakened by our doorbell, 

followed by insistent rapping on our front door. Staggering to the door, I came close to not opening it when I spotted two uniforms perched under our porch light.

I would like to respond to your printing of the cartoon on May 19 depicting some crazy Christian striking down homosexuals. The Bible makes it clear in Leviticus 18 and 20, Romans chapter 1, Corinthians chapter 6, and Timothy 1 chapter 1 that homosexuality goes against God’s will.

Luckily, there’s an answer. It’s the blood of Jesus. It’s being born again. It’s a new life in Jesus’ name. This is what Christians really believe in, not hurting people or doing harm unto others.

In Sunday, May 12’s Commentary section, School Board Member Pat Deutschman offered up a piece titled, “Our world-class schools deserve world-class support.”

I think we all agree when an elected official addresses the community through a public medium, he or she must be knowledgeable, forthright and free of dodgy propositions. Otherwise, there’s a loss of “public trust,” a point the Chronicle forcefully made in its May 18 op-ed column concerning an unrelated matter.
