Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,
A recent letter said we have an obligation to point out injustice when we see it.

Dear Editor,
The idea that the Affordable Care Act or Obama care is addressing injustice begs the question that was asked on the front page of your March 20th newspaper: Really? This article asked the question, who would throw fecal matter into the cardboard recycle bid?

Dear Editor,
On behalf of the entire 2013-2014 OHS Lady Hornets Basketball Team, we would like to thank the awesome community of Oroville for the outpouring of support this year and especially as we headed to Richland to play against DeSales.

Dear Editor,
As usual, I enjoyed Bill Slusher’s recent Franken-law opinion piece. The treatment of Farmers by the USLD, as discussed by Bill, is an outrage. But the real problem is that the US has a “justice” system that is so corrupt, that such an outrage can take place.

Dear Editor,
In 2011, during the horrific rain storms that hit western Okanogan County, we lost a section of the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail in the Loomis State Forest. The WADNR didn’t have the funds to do the repairs to this segment of the Trail, and because we have an Adopt-A-Trail Agreement with them for that stretch of trail, it was left to the PNTA to come with the funding.

Dear Editor,
“With liberty and justice for all.” Those words should not ring hollow. For us to have justice in our society requires us to identify injustice when we see it and to do something about it. We saw this in the 1960′s when black Americans were finally guaranteed the right to vote.

My name is Joe Napoli, the brother of Mark Napoli who you wrote about in your paper, as it relates to updates on a May, 2013 incident. I just wanted you and your paper to know that his family loves him dearly, unconditionally and we all know how very sorry he is for what transpired. He is holding himself accountable for his actions.

Dear Editor,

In view of the many things that continue to take place in our government, the words of Solomon from Proverbs 28 seem to fit more perfectly than ever: V.15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people, V.16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor.

Dear Editor,
Some old Oroville boys, and were having a national political discussion. We agreed we need someone with impeccable integrity.

Dear Editor,
I would like to express my appreciation for the members of our communities who took the opportunity to cast a vote in favor of local school M and O levies. These levies are an important part of the way local schools educational and maintenance needs.
