 Editor: The government payment to hurricane survivors of $750 a one time direct payment may take up to ten days– individuals must sign up with FEMA online or in person.  Where are the FEMA people? AWOL!  Note: there is no WiFi or cell service available in many areas due to the storm.  Although Elon Musk bid to put in his service, the bid was rejected.

Letter to the Editor: A “Vacuous Pant Suit” and a “Knucklehead”

Dear Editor,A month from now we will know – maybe – the final results of the 2024 election.  So, let’s take one last look at what the Democrat Party is bringing to the table.  First, there’s the “Vacuous Pant Suit”.  Since her installation – without a single vote by any Democrat in the United States, I might add - she’s fully lived up to her “Vacuous” description.

Letter to the Editor: FEMA Facts

To the Editor: I know there are some who would rather spread lies and misinformation than actually do the research. I also know that since this came from FEMA that plenty of others will proclaim it is all false because it comes from our government but none-the-less here is the truth.Rosemary SchwartzFEMAHurricane Helene: Rumor ResponseHelp keep yourself, your family and your community safe after Hurricane Helene by being aware of rumors and scams and sharing official information from trusted sources.

Letter to the Editor: Had Enough Yet???

Dear Editor, $750 for hurricane victims.  $2200 a month for illegals.  The hurricane victims paid by direct deposit will take 10 days.  They need help now.  Medicine, food, water, shelter [and means to care for the dead].  Illegals have all that each month.  Is there something wrong here - this stinks!?  FEMA AWOL short of funds - did they spend it on the illegals???  MSM ask the questions!  America needs answers.

Letter to the Editor: Vote "Yes" for improvements to CPU School Facilities

To the Editor:As I begin my 38th year of teaching, I reflect on many years when change was painful, exciting, or long overdue. At Center Point-Urbana School we have done what many smaller schools with a low tax base have had to do for years, make something out of very little. Our resourcefulness has been admirable! However, even though all departments are in need, the fine arts department has received very little when it comes to facility upgrades and improvements in the past 35 years.

Letter to the Editor: John Deere and U.S. Jobs a rebutal

Editor:All of the critics are missing the point. I am not a globalist, At one time I flirted with that propaganda, but there are limits as to what the working class needs to buy and what they don't. Manufactured items tend to be superior with U.S. companies, but not always. I have a lot of tools manufactured by Japanese companies. I find they are quite good, I also have a lot of tools and machines built by Delta, Milwaukee, and DeWalt.

Letter to the Editor: Manufacturing leaves the United States

Dear Editor, John Deere has làid off hundreds of employees in Waterloo and perhaps in Moline. The company is moving some manufacturing to Mexico. Trump will impose tariffs, and that's exactly what a President should do.  America first. Protect union workers.John Stiegelmeyer

I guess to the very existence of the planet??“He’s a tyrant, he’ll be a Dictator!”“He won’t let us kill our unborn children anymore!!!”“He’s a racist!” Golly, they had me at “Hitler”.

The preacher said what?

The city council met on Thursday evening. As part of the meeting was the Citizen’s Input segment. It's a grab bag of thoughts that come before the council in this department. Thursday night was no exception. The community once in a while will get all riled up about the former Iowa Braille and Sight Savings School property. Some aren't happy with it being broken up and voice their opinions on the topic.
