Didn’t like tone of political ads

Speak Out

Way too many ads that came out and were broadcast over and over on the radio about a person’s character and motives for getting into politics. No need to have to go low with hurtful words to get a vote. This was truly not showing why to vote for the other party’s candidate … or who we need for our U.P.

Our whole America is going through so much dismay — on the radio, in the newspapers, on TV, each and every day. We all know this to be true. Do we have to have this happen locally?

For this young man, wanting to be out there, and the challenges he’s faced and willing to again go for this office, takes much from him.

Congratulations, Beau LaFave, on your state House win. Bless you, and God guide you and the U.P. once again.

Toddler needs proper clothes

This is to the father who had his approximately year-old daughter at Walmart. You know who you are because I yelled at you for taking your baby girl outside from across the parking lot wearing only a lightweight top and pants, with no hat, no coat, her little legs partly exposed in 27 degree weather.

I asked you where the baby’s hat and coat were and why she was outside dressed inappropriately. You said you couldn’t afford to get her warm clothes.

You, however, had a warm, proper jacket and I’m sure you weren’t cold. That is a poor lame excuse for the way she was dressed, since you could have put a blanket around her.

There are plenty of churches and agencies that would gladly provide a warm coat and hat for a child or an adult in need. Many churches are more than happy to provide meals and other assistance to people that really need it.

I do not know your situation, but I do know that it’s your responsibility, as her father, to see that she and her sister are cared for with basic necessities.

Shame on you for neglecting this precious blessing. Get that child warm winter clothing and keep her inside until you do, or cover her with warm blankets.

I totally understand that it can be difficult raising a family financially but get your priorities in order and call an agency for help if needed.
