To the editor: We, as religious leaders in our community, are devastated by the recent violence in our nation and world.

With the most recent incident in Orlando comes the expected denigration of the NRA and the call from the left for "common sense" gun control. "Common sense" being the buzz phrase to forestall any logical argument.

The Roundhead McDonald Park in Roundhead has suffered recent vandalism. This has been a problem every summer.

We are all saddened by the shooting in Orlando, as we were by other similar shootings. We are confronted as a nation and the world with yet another horrendous act of violence, in a seeming never-ending cycle.

I write this letter with a great sadness in my heart as I heard today that we have lost another right in our great nation. This right is the power of each citizen to have his voice heard and each person to be counted in the direction of this once great nation.

To the editor: Summer is here and so is the time for Red Cross Swimming Lessons!

At this time of year we remember those who have served our country in the military in ALL wars and branches of service. Groups of people, patriotic or otherwise, will be going into all local cemeteries to place U.S. flags at each grave site of a veteran and this would include thousands of graves.

To the editor: With the closing of Hardin County Hospice announced this week, I felt compelled to write a few lines to this newspaper.

My letter may make no difference concerning people who walk by your house or drive by your house and throw their unwanted trash in yards that we are trying to keep clean. Imagine you are disabled in some way or another physically and you have to go out with a bag and pick up someone’s unwanted trash that they have discarded in your yard.
