Letters

My name is Keith Snow and I am writing this letter because I want to get it out there that we need to really start cracking down and putting out more DUI checkpoints. I have said it before, but this is something I feel strongly about. I hardly saw any checkpoints during this past holiday season and I don’t understand why that is. We need to keep the streets safe and we could have made a lot of revenue. The city says they are doing all these wonderful, new things for the city and community but I do not see anything yet. I really hope they step up this year and really push for more public safety and coordinate a team. I have mentioned this to Chief Westrick and the captain as well; let’s get the explorer program going and involved. We can use active and non-active officers as well. Let’s straighten out our city. I was out traveling, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. I did not see one checkpoint; if there was one I would have seen the flares out.

I can see city officials huddling around the water cooler,

The press has done a very good job of reporting about the challenges our veterans face. We all have read or seen stories about our wounded  warriors. About traumatic brain injury. About veterans suffering from  depression and other serious mental health issues. About those who have  lost limbs or endure other physical hardships. These are serious issues that deserve our attention, especially on Veterans Day. What also deserves our attention, but which gets much less press, is the fact that  military veterans are twice as likely to develop – and die from – Lou  Gehrig's Disease as those who have not served in the military.
