Bad manners belie Christian attitude
From Dianna Fay Rose
Selma

While having breakfast at one of our valley restaurants, there came loud voices from another table. The man, a local here, was talking about church things, so we knew he went to church somewhere here.

He was very loud so all could hear, and blasted the young man waiting on him for bad service and would not leave him a tip.

If that was not enough, he blasted him again while paying his bill about why he was not tipping him. If he was so unhappy he should have talked to the owner, who was there.

I would like to know where are the manners of Christians who profess the love of God? It is no wonder people do not want to go to church if this is the way Christians behave, not to mention the youth of our community. We wonder why they do not want anything to do with church and the values of their elders.

The man should go and apologize to this young man and search his heart as to why he would do such a thing. People are watching us Christians, and our lives are a story. Is it a nightmare or showing the love God has for all people?

 

Immediate past sheriff critical of tax proposal
From Dave Daniel
Grants Pass

Last year Gil Gilbertson spent $70,000 to tell the people about his plan to
increase patrols in the valley, and add more jail corrections officers. 

After a mere one week in office he wants to raise our property taxes
by several hundred dollars a year to pay for it. 

What a plan.

‘Global warming’needs debunking
From Robert W.Van de Walle
Granada Hills, Calif.

It is amazing that so many people believe global warming is real and is caused by humans.

This myth has been largely promoted by the major media that gives much attention to those who support it and very little to those who debunk it.

For example, in December, U.S. Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma chaired a “Climate Change and the Media” meeting. He said that global warming is a hoax. The meeting received almost no major media attention.

During this meeting, Dr. David Deming, a geophysicist at the University of Oklahoma, stated, “I was contacted by a reporter for National Public Radio. He offered to interview me, but only if I would state that the warming was due to human activity. When I refused to do so, he hung up on me.”

Deming also said that he received an astonishing e-mail from a major researcher in climate change that read, “We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period.” From about 800 A.D. to 1300 A.D. we had the Medieval Warm Period when it was as warm or warmer than it is today. But, it is an obstacle to those maintaining that current warming is abnormal.

People who want to hear the other side can go to www.oism.org/pproject for a scientific debunking of global warming. Also listed are the names of more than 17,000 scientists, meteorolgists, and other technical people who have signed a petition stating that there is no convincing scientific evidence to support global warming.
