Letters

I found my March 23 The Lima News very interesting reading. First, I saw a letter from William Baker (currently incarcerated) commending Brice Brenneman, Ron Lora and myself for “bringing to light” the injustices Doug Wine has suffered at the hands of Auglaize County Prosecutor Ed Pierce and Judge Frederick Pepple specifically and the Ohio justice system in general.

In response to a previous letter on Leslie Peltier, we do have a marker on his achievements as an astronomer. During Ohio’s bicentennial celebration in 2003, a marker was placed at the Delphos library, beside a sundial, also recognizing his accomplishments and discipline recording the movements of our planets, stars and comets.

I think what Israel is doing is horrific. This property was taken from the Palestinians 77 years ago.

In this culture where “everyone gets a trophy,” the Ohio High School Athletic Association is doing its part to promote that concept. The recent decision to expand the high school basketball tournament from four to seven divisions shows that for the OHSAA, participation is more important than true competition and recognizing athletic excellence.

Recently, I saw an online post of a memorial road marker dedicated to Dr. William Brooks and his Red House Observatory in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Brooks discovered 11 comets, and his community rallied around recognizing his achievements with a marker, once it was discovered that his observatory was known by only a hole in the ground where it once stood and overgrowth. But Brooks was only the second-greatest discoverer of comets.

I have had an account at this bank for many years and was pleased with the service. My pleasure ceased when they started charging $3 a month for a paper statement. I guess they made up some of this gouging charge by giving me two cents interest on my account.

President Joe Biden is ready to sell out Israel to placate the Muslim voters in Michigan and Minnesota. If you need to see how these voters feel about Israel, just look at the rabid anti-semitic representatives they have elected to Congress. Aided by Sen. Chuck Schumer and these fanatics, Biden hopes to secure the votes of more than 300,000 Muslims who live in these two states.

If God was angry due to his people worshipping a golden calf, think how angry he may be from those worshipping an orange sexual molester. Judge Kaplan stated that E. Jean Carroll’s rape charge was “substantially true.”

I am writing to address a critical issue that is plaguing our society and impacting our children and youth. We are currently reaping what we have been sowing, and no one is excluded from the consequences of our actions. Our negligence and lack of involvement in important matters have led to a situation where our children and youth are suffering.

Coming across town, I came to railroad tracks where an older fellow was pushing a shopping cart across the tracks. His cart was full of items that were important to him. As he was pushing, the cart fell over, with his items laying all over the tracks.
