Dear Editor:Even at the end of life, there can be a lot of living to do. Hospice volunteers help patients and families create meaningful moments and lasting memories.

As I open the email each morning, sometimes I run across something that makes me chuckle. Now fraud isn't usually one of them. However, when you run across a fraudster that is so dumb, well, you have to shake your head and laugh.

Dear Editor,Property rights are one of the most important concerns for Benton County residents—especially for farmers and landowners who depend on their ability to make decisions about their own land.

Facebook memories are a fun thing usually. For example, did you know that 4 years ago we had a tornado hit Vinton? I wrote an article about hearing the sirens and not worrying until the siren sounded for the third time.

If you are like I am, as soon as I heard that we had a plane shot down over Iran I thought immediately of this image. I thought of Christopher Stevens, the captured and tortured U.

For the most part this election season has found me pretty much out of the loop when it comes to who is running for any office outside our county. I am just thoroughly burned out on the circus.

Editor:  (forgive the length)Those that know me know I was a jet pilot in the USAF and all positions at Trans World Airlines a great airline that could not survive----F/E,F/O, and Captain.

Dear Editor, Airport security, Secret Service, and Coast Guard are required to report for duty without a paycheck!  Who is responsible for this stupidity? Those who care more about illegals and the criminal numbers within?  Recent history, four murders by illegals with long rap sheets who should have been imprisoned and deported, all within a two-week period!  Recently, a young female was killed by an illegal — this has to stop! Congress YOU work for the American People (Citizens), not illegal criminals, just do your JOB.

Dear Editor,This explains the Democrat roadblock better than my short piece.Regards, John Stiegelmeyer By Newt Gingrich“Every American who has been recently delayed at an airport should thank Georgia Sen.

Dear Editor, Four terrorists attacks with fatalities in two weeks time.  To democrats who hold up funding for the coast guard and TSA and other law enforcement.
