    CASA is good choice

     

    According to Google, there have been over 4,000 studies that show that men and women who were abused as children wind up in prison. Prison and court costs amount to at least $25,000 per year that Kentucky taxpayers must pay. A better way is to use the free volunteer services of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) to reduce the huge number of incarcerated men, women and children detained in jails, prisons and juvenile detention facilities today.

    Police fitness story was absurd

     

    I must confess I seldom read this newspaper, and the front-page article on police force fitness is one more justification as to your complete ineptness and me saving my dollars (“Police officers not held to fitness,” Dec. 7). If, in your infinite wisdom, you intend to rewrite police department policies and procedures, please know you must add Shelby County Dispatch to your task.

    Accolades for Herb Kays

     

    You could not grow up in Shelbyville and not know a member of the Kays family. The children had great hard-working parents and each one made a contribution in school and in church. Comments from the University of Kentucky Tennis Boosters about the passing of Dr. Herb Kays reflect the type of individual he was – and it reflects the entire family, in my book.

    About the shooting

     

    I just want to start by saying these things shouldn’t happen, but in the real world they do (“Teen killed in battle with police,” Nov. 23). I also want to say that the Shelbyville Police officers in question, Suzanna Marcum and Frank Willoughby, are respected in this community, especially Marcum.

    Where are those jobs?

     

    The headline “Are there really 400 open jobs in Shelby County?” (Nov. 18) jumped off the page at me. I was especially intrigued by this article since my son, a recent graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, is having a difficult time in finding a good job. I read the article several times, and if there are 400 open jobs in Shelby County, you couldn’t prove it by anything I read. One actual job opening, at Family Video, was mentioned in the article.

    Is this Christianity?

     

    For months I have read the war of ideas between Ms. Linda Allewalt and Mr. Chuck Souder. That’s what it was – a war of ideas – not personal attacks like letter writer Mr. Sonny Malone (“Misguided passion,” Oct. 26).
