							As a 
							community we need to be able to talk openly about 
							matters that affect the quality of our lives. The 
							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

			Baker, Ashley Getchel, Jackson Getchel, and Shirley Winterbauer,
