A reader retracts a claim about St. Ludmila's Catholic Church hosting a beer tent at the Kolache Festival. The church did not apply for a beer license and no alcohol was sold. The writer commends the parish for drug prevention efforts and urges constructive dialogue with church leaders.
A June 24 letter lauds the Americans with Disabilities Act as a landmark civil rights bill with broad congressional support. It notes two years of planning and talks between business and disability groups and acknowledges concerns for small businesses while praising Sen. Harkin and bipartisan backing. The author is attorney Michael H. Irvine of 417 First Ave. SE.
Gloria P. Egli argues that flag burning politics distract from issues like homelessness and veterans care. She questions U S leaders response and accuses flag designers and lobbyists of exploiting the symbol for private gain.
A reader argues against the Avenue of the Saints proposing it will worsen traffic pollution and crime. The writer envisions more congestion and nuisance from transient traffic and questions benefits like extra stores or motels. The message urges preserving the local, quieter community character.
A lighthearted note thanks readers for coverage of Senator Tom Harkin and his properties. The writer jokes about surprising details like oceanfront homes on an island and a candy-striped lighthouse, contrasting with public perceptions of populists.
Opinion by Susan Kretzschmar argues that government should require parental notification for sexual intercourse by minors rather than abortion. She asserts parents must accept responsibility when their child is sexually active and cites her Iowa City address.
A reader thanks Tom Tauke for addressing inequities in Social Security rules that reduce benefits when women leave work to care for children or aging parents. The letter argues rules lag social changes and applauds Tauke's effort to reform them, contrasting with other politicians.
A letter from William R. Jurs of Decorah argues a political candidate who seeks a flag burning amendment is like a man who burns his own house by mishandling a grill and gasoline. He urges voters to show concern by bringing officials home after two terms.
The writer claims Sen Harkin often blocks Sen Grassley’s stance and aligns with Kennedy Metzenbaum and Dodd. They argue Iowa has had little influence in the Senate for 52 years and urge Tauke to win to restore two Iowa votes.
