REGISTER VIEWPOINTS: Reaching out and sliding into a good cause

Thumbs UP to Ty Roth's literary ambitions, as the Port Clinton High School teacher seeks to reach smart teenagers in yet another way: Writing a book based on the lives of classical poets and geared to young adults -- one of the fastest growing market segments in book publishing, but one which in recent years gives short shrift to the intelligence of some of its customers.

LETTER: No, it doesn't work

A recent letter writer says millions of vets have been treated at "virtually no cost at all to the vet, paid for by our tax dollars." Most Americans have no problem having our tax dollars pay for veterans health care. But, it should stop there. We do not want our tax dollars to pay for everyone who has the mistaken notion that the government owes them this.

LETTER: End the seal hunt

The annual brutal slaughter of baby seals in Canada is on its way. It's the largest slaughter of marine mammals on the planet. Last year more than 72,000 baby seals as young as 12 days old were clubbed and shot to death and some skinned alive. The Canadian government condones this massive killing of Harp seals.

REGISTER VIEWPOINT: Let's get sex-offender laws that work

The state's residency laws when it comes to sex offenders were outdated before the ink was dry on the legislation. Convicted sex offenders are prohibited from living within 1,000 feet of a school, a daycare center and other public places for fear they may re-offend and victimize a child.

REGISTER VIEWPOINT: No mail Saturday? If that's what it takes

The U.S. Postal Service prides itself on delivering through rain, hail, sleet or snow, but perhaps not any more on Saturday. While the proposal to eliminate residential and business deliveries on Saturday is clearly to help the federal agency to save money by eliminating up to 40,000 jobs, the pros and cons of such a move are not as readily apparent.

LETTER: Stop polluting the bay

The flow of combined sanitary sewage waste and surface water (street and ground) has been entering our bay for many years. It occurs when the sewage treatment plant cannot process the sudden increase in volume. The combined sewer and street waters enters the bay, untreated, through about 15 combined sewer overflows. These releases are frequent during the rainy season.

LETTER: Bookmark research

I was reading on one of the bookmarks at the Bellevue Library about the facts about tobacco. I was shocked to find out cigarettes contain ammonia and arsenic. How is it possible that they can sell to the public something that contains ammonia and arsenic? Doesn't that constitute endangering the public?

LETTER: I'm right, you're wrong

Okay, so we have what is no doubt the greatest system of government in the world -- but -- some of us are very tired of the political attitude which says "Everything we do is right, and everything you do is wrong." Health care? How many of us really understood this issue before making up our minds? Just asking. Ed Ashley

LETTER: Left embarrassing, too

I don't think I can hold a recent letter writer too responsible, especially if he listens to the mainstream media and the leaders of the Democrats. They both have certainly implied, if not specifically stated, that all the violence and threats have come from Republicans.

LETTER: Heroic health measure

As someone with a pre-existing condition, I have found that health care has sky-rocketed to the point that my monthly premium is bigger than my mortgage payment. I greatly feared my ability to get health care in the months and years to come.

REGISTER VIEWPOINTS: Taking care of business

Thumbs UP to Jamie Steinemann for taking care of the business end of the baton at Firelands Symphony Orchestra. Conductor Carl Topilow keeps the music in tune, but Steinemann directs behind the scenes, making sure the money comes in and the publicity goes out -- and Sandusky and environs gets to keep a first-rate bit of art and culture.
