Recently, an article was published about the married couple panhandling around town. I have noticed a shiny, burgundy double-cab, full-size truck sitting in the parking lot right beside this couple and their begging for money. Times are tough for a lot of people right now, but this beggin…

I read with great interest the article in Saturday’s D-H (14 Nov. 2009) and the follow-up Hasso Hering editorial regarding the installation of automated external defibrillators in public assembly areas of Oregon. I was disappointed to learn that Rep. Andy Olson had voted against Senate …

Kathy Baker (Mailbag, N0v. 18) misunderstood my letter about the absence of a flag in the LBCC patriotic concert on Sunday, the 8th. I was commenting about those who had been there, done that, not some liberal who writes letters to the editor and thinks they are patriotic.

I received a letter today (Nov. 16) from Canada, from a company in Texas called “Market Tracking Management.” Enclosed was a check made out to me for $2,985. They want to hire me as a “customer service evaluator.” The whole thing smells like a scam and there is no listing of the…

There are not many who disagree that the USA needs health care reform. However, what the majority of citizens do not want is a government-run health care system. Government-run health care systems have proven to overtax and overburden everyone in every other socialist and free country of …

It was in August 2008, a year and three months ago, that a consultant for Lowe’s notified the city of Albany that it intended to construct a home improvement center on about 12 acres at the southeast corner of Ninth Avenue and Oak Street. The sad news is that after all this time, the st…

Touring Asia, President Obama said Wednesday he’s still weeks away from deciding how many reinforcements to send to Afghanistan. One wonders whether he knows the trouble he is causing our troops with this continued dithering.

“Police called when teen beats dog” (Nov. 15). Outrage best describes what I am feeling after reading this story. This young man should not have a dog. The dog will grow to be dangerous, fearful of anyone. The so-called “teen,” if he’s not already, will be a woman/child abuser. …

I have a question about the permanent closing of the paper mill in Millersburg. During one of the previous articles about this event, the possibility of another company purchasing the entire paper mill plant and reopening it was mentioned. The current owners said they did not wish to sell…

Several years ago I decided that exchanging Christmas gifts with my siblings was no longer necessary as we already had all we needed, so suggested that we donate the money we would normally spend to people in need instead. They all agreed and we find it is so much more rewarding to spend …

With news of International Paper closing the Albany containerboard mill come challenges and grief for families who relied on those living-wage jobs not only to support their families but also to support the community.

The courts in Oregon, we have seen, offer no protection against political and fiscal mistakes. That is as it should be. Politics should be in the hands of voters, not judges.

Newsweek put Sarah Palin on the cover this week so that it could make fun of her in an essay by Christopher Hitchins. He rips her apart in the course of trying to make a point against populism and how it always betrays the “hicks” it pretends to represent.

I think George Steiner (“No change required,” Mailbag, Nov. 17) should watch a little Fox News and wise up. No one will have to change their insurance? That will happen when the federal government puts your insurance company out of business.
