To the
editor:
Thank you for posting the names,
districts, addresses, phone numbers and committee appointments for
the newly elected Logan County Board. [Click
here for lists.]
Animal control concerns have been an
ongoing struggle in this community for many years. My husband and
I are still being told horrific stories surrounding the issue of
controlling and humanely treating stray animals and are concerned
that the problem is not getting better. We have also recently been
personally involved in the struggle to get Animal Control to
respond when an incident occurred at other than their "regular
office hours."
Animal Control Committee meets the
second Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. at that facility. The
next meeting is Wednesday, Dec. 11. I would appreciate members of
the press being at that meeting because we have been told there
will be some serious issues brought before the committee. The
newly created committee consisting of Patrick O'Neill (chair),
Charles Ruben, David Hepler, John Stewart, Terry Werth and Dale
Voyles (county board chairman) needs community support in their
struggle to ensure cost-effective and humane treatment of the
animals in response to the constituents’ need for help in this
area.
I urge everyone to attend this
meeting and talk with their city or council representatives to be
sure we are responsive to the needs of constituents and the
animals unlucky enough to be stray.

Dear
Editor:
Dec. 4 could change the anti-abortion
effort and our First Amendment rights forever. On July 12, the
American Center for Law and Justice filed a brief with the U.S.
Supreme Court asking for the court to overturn a federal court
ruling that allowed the use of the federal Racketeer Influenced
and Corrupt Organizations statute against pro-life organizations.
This act was written to combat drug dealers and organized crime;
it was not intended to be used against people who wish to express
their opposition to abortion or any other issue. If the National
Organization of Women, which brought the suit against Operation
Rescue, prevails, it will ultimately shut down the anti-abortion
movement, send it into bankruptcy and open the door to silence
other protests on any issue.
[to top of second column in
this letter] |
Millions of dollars have been
awarded to abortion clinics since the start of the suit in
1986, paving the way for more clinics and the murder of
millions of innocent children. We must act now!! Call your
congressmen and tell them to urge the Supreme Court to
overturn this case. This is a violation of our First
Amendment right to freedom of speech, and our right to protest. More importantly, we must send a message to the
justices of the Supreme Court, telling them that we will not
be stripped of our right to fight for the unborn child!
Call the following congressmen:
Ray LaHood, (202) 225-6201; Peter Fitzgerald, (202)
224-2854; John Shimkus, (202) 225-5271; and Dick Durbin,
(202) 224-2152.

To the
editor:
Am hoping a descendant of William
Scully might hold some info on my great-great-grandpa, Jeremiah
Scully. They were close cousins and were involved in a shooting
incident in 1849. Charges were brought against them at Clonmel
Assizes, Tipperary, but later dropped.
Does any Scully in Logan County have
any info on my Jeremiah?
Sincerely,
Eileen Campbell
England
