Letter to the Editor: What profits man?

What profits man? To the editor: (Edited for length.) The dumbest thing I ever read was a bumper sticker that said: “The person who dies with the most toys wins.” And here is the smartest thing: “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if each of us could have everything we could possibly want. Why? Because then we could discover that owning everything isn’t nearly enough to truly satisfy us for long and we are left still wanting!” Why?

Letter to the Editor: Coal controversy

Coal controversy To the editor: After reading the article in the Tuesday, April 10, edition, I truly felt how some of our local political elected officials are not looking out for the best interest of our community and the environment.

Letter to the Editor: Why Wal-Mart?

Why Wal-Mart? To the editor: I still can’t figure out why we need another Wal-Mart in this area. We already have one in Hood River. This rapacious family of billionaires owns more wealth than 40 percent of the American people.

Letter to the Editor: Circuit Rider rally

Rally at our state capitol in April 19 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. The event is sponsored by ROAR Ministries — Reviving Oregon’s Amazing Roots. Aaron Auer, who has visited all of our counties in the state with the trust of our Christian heritage and preached in many of our local churches, is inviting us to voice our opinions at this rally.

Letter to the Editor: Kind and generous

To the editor: I was mowing down the weeds, and grass in the parking area of our home, when I was approached with a huge smile by a stranger who asked me to allow her to finish my mowing. I told her I have a husband who will do the mowing, I just want to do it. Nevertheless, she insisted on helping anyway.

Letter to the Editor: Manipulated weather

To the editor: Are you noticing around The Dalles, or even the gorge area in its entirety, dead/dying trees, plants or mold infested plants/trees, or maybe stunted blooming/growth or abnormal growing cycles in any plants on your property or just observing outside while you go about your life?

Letter to the Editor: Autism

To the editor: We were encouraged to see the Chronicle’s Dialogue urging greater awareness and actions on autism for the month of April. Autism is a life-affecting developmental condition that is growing amongst our children at an inexplicable rate, yet receives only 0.55 percent of total NIH research funding. This is a particular concern for The Dalles, which is recognized as a regional hotspot for autism.

Letter to the Editor: Yes, tampering

To the editor: According to the White house and its Barack Hussein media, the re-election of the president was fraud-free.

Letter to the Editor: Bank worries

To the editor: I have been following the latest banking situation in Cyprus and have concerns that it will happen here.

Letter to the Editor: Thanks, volunteers

To the editor: On behalf of the Mid-Columbia Fellowship of Churches, I want to pass along a big thank you and well done to all the people who worked to make the Easter Sunrise Service at Pulpit Rock a very meaningful service for the whole community.

Letter to the Editor: Painting?

To the editor: Open letter to the owner of the old Sunshine Mill. You painted the long building black with a red roof. Very nice. As a member of this community since 1942 I am always interested (and aware) of how people take care of their property. Thank you, the building looks great (the orange door doesn’t go with the red and black but hopefully it will get painted also). However (isn’t there always a however?)

Letter to the Editor: Followers of God

To the editor: I found a book on Muslims and their religion Islam. Very interesting how their religion follows so many others. Allah means God in their language, and Islam means submission to God. Mohammed respected the Jewish and Christian worship of God. Indeed any true follower of God. They don’t believe in graven images.

Letter to the Editor: View worries

To the editor: I would like to echo the comments of Carol Earl in The Chronicle of Sunday, regarding the view from the Sorosis Park overlook. This dramatic, sweeping panorama is a rarity for any town in this nation. This view of The Dalles is perhaps its greatest treasure; let’s preserve it.

Letter to the Editor: Thanks, Marchers

To the editor: The Dalles Meals on Wheels has been serving meals in The Dalles since the 1970s with its sole mission to stop senior hunger. Last year alone we served a combined total of 45,000 meals to our home-bound and on-site participants.
