The horrible crash on Monday of a Rushville/Industry school bus and semi-truck has not only shook up Schuyler County, but all of the surrounding area, including Cass County.
While we may never know what happened, we know the Illinois State Police, Schuyler County Sheriff’s Department, Rushville Police and other law enforcement agencies will do a thorough investigation to piece together this horrific nightmare.
Dear Editor,
Ms. Gibson, Starkey, and Brasel’s attack on Adrian Deloche’s opinion piece is filled with lies, innuendos, and half truths.
The fact remains that record numbers of illegal immigrants are entering the United States at an alarming rate. All occuring while a democrat party president sits in the oval office. He is not in charge of the country direction. Large corporations and multi-millionaire/billionaires do that.
Dear Editor,
I respectfully request to reply to the three members of the Cass County Board that implied that I am a liar and not to be taken serious for anything I say.
This is the typical response of left wing, counter culture, authoritarians. Unlike these three pillars of intellect, I do my research before I make a public statement
If what I presented in my last letter was false or inaccurate, the board members did not bother to point out a single word or sentence to that issue. By their own words, they did admit that they had a meeting considering bussing illegal immigrants. I did not state one way or the other as to their decision. I challenged for an answer of their intentions.
I believe that every legal USA citizen still has freedoms. Our country’s founders all had personally experienced repression and no rights under the King George III regime. The first ten amendments in the Constitution guarantees us, “We the People” our rights in the Bill of Rights.
How many times daily do you look at your watch? I’m guessing quite a few. We live in the day and age where time seems to be slipping away and we get so impatient about everything. Patience is so difficult in our culture because we feel like we have so many things to do. We are always trying to figure out how to cram more and more things into less and less time. And that means that we allow less and less time for things that are important. We don’t want to waste time because we feel the pressure of all we think we have to get done.
“Hi there, I am a little bat. I do not suck your blood and I definitely don’t want to get stuck in your hair. That’s just gross! If I should accidentally fly into your house, please don’t hit me with cricket bats and brooms, it really hurts and I am so scared! It was an accident. I didn’t mean to scare you! I am just as scared as you are. I am fighting for my life and you are just scared. It is not a fair fight.
On February 14th we embarked upon the period known as Lent. During Lent Christians all across the globe sacrifice something to symbolize what Christ gave up in His desert testing.
Scriputre says in Luke chapter 4 that Jesus was “led by the Spirit” to go into the wilderness immediately after His baptism.
Luke’s gospel also says he was tempted by the devil for 40 days and he ate nothing during those days. At the end of those days, he was hungry and exhausted and now we find beginning in the 3rd verse of Luke chapter 4 the devil engages in a time of severe testing of Jesus.
I was glad to see Democrats and Republicans working together at the Cass County Board safety committee meeting Monday night. Most board members were present due to a contentious ordinance on busing, which was passed on to the full board for consideration at the March 11 meeting.
Adrian DeLoche is completely wrong about the Cass County Board proposal. No one wants busloads of migrants dropped off here. The board is trying to stop this practice before it comes to Cass County. DeLoche starts off his arguments with complete misinformation and goes downhill from there.
Here I am, humbly eating my crow. Yep, I did it again!
Last week I wrote a column about a mysterious electric toothbrush that had been living at my house for a few weeks. Checking all my sources, I decided it belong to my grandson, Mason. Mason and Tarra were here a couple of weeks ago and I reminded Mason to take it home. That’s when he announced to me that it wasn’t his.
