LETTER: Get your screening

On Feb. 9, my mom lost her 11/2 year battle with colon cancer -- she was just 63 years old. It had metastasized to her lung, brain and then her chest. After being diagnosed, she became a strong advocate of colon cancer awareness. She spread the word to everyone that it is preventable, treatable and beatable when detected early.

LETTER: Blame left for greenhouse gas

If you want a scapegoat for greenhouse gas emissions the obvious choice is the nuclear protesters who prevented us from having clean, non-polluting nuclear power. They are mostly folks with liberal arts education who know nothing about engineering or worse, movie stars who know nothing about anything. Ron Olrick Sandusky

There's nothing wrong with being in a Patriot group

The indictments of nine members of the Hutaree Christian militia group, who allegedly plotted to kill police officers, has focused attention on a large class of other people who have not committed any crimes and who don't deserve to be lumped in with an alleged terrorist group.

LETTER: GOP embarrasing

The way Republicans have been acting is very disturbing: spitting on people, threatening people's families, throwing bricks through Congressional offices, calling people hurtful names -- finally Republicans are showing their true colors. I'd expect that from a communist country.

REGISTER VIEWPOINT: Let the real work begin on health care reform

After a year-long firefight that shed more heat than light, here's what we know: Children remain covered by their parents' health insurance, if they so choose, until age 26. Pre-existing medical conditions cannot be used as an excuse to deny coverage. You can't lose your health coverage because you get sick. To all that, we say yes.

SANDERS: Healthy start

By RUFUS G.W. SANDERS, Register columnist Change and reform are never easy even when it is clear change is needed. It can be filled with drama and so many traumas. There is never reform without chaos. The process can be downright wrenching. It is usually disruptive. But there are times when change is absolutely necessary. This was such a time.

REGISTER VIEWPOINT: Holding the bottom line

In three short months the Sandusky city commission accomplished something previous leaders refused to tackle. As painful as it has been, the commission under ex officio mayor Dan Kaman ordered layoffs in the city's work force that position the city to end 2010 with a balanced budget.

LETTER: Gov't health care can work

Both sides of the debate on the national health care bill have conveniently overlooked an important fact. We have had a national system in place for years. It's run by the Veterans Administration. VA hospitals serve millions of veterans every years who have no insurance and have done so for decades, at virtually no cost at all to the vet, paid for by our tax dollars.

REGISTER VIEWPOINT: School choice involves more than 3Rs

Cash-strapped school districts are looking to open enrollment as a means to bolster sagging budgets. While this is a often a wise move for school districts, the implications for individual students is not as clear cut. The motivations for switching schools are as diverse as the students themselves.

LETTERS: What doctors don't want

I just had an interesting phone call from a man facing one of life's biggest challenges, a diagnosis of cancer. He was asking for physicians to articulate their concerns about the current efforts on health reform. I think he is right. Physicians owe it to our patients to reflect on the issues and help guide the debate. Here is what physicians do not want:
