Wednesday, February 13, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 23 LETTERS Continued from page 15 who uses race baiting constantly, who uses race as a tool to divide, who runs elections focused on race, and who manages the largest cities where poverty and crime have the most nega- tive effect on people of color? Who are the real racists then? Maybe it hasn9t changed at all; like spots on a leopard. Jeff Mackey s s s To the Editor: Hats off to President Trump on his State of the Union address! I am one of many who is deeply appreciative to this administration for all the good they have done for the citizens of this country. His speech was outstanding, and I deeply respect the Office of the President. He9s got a tough job, and he9s doing it well. Jordan Pope s s s To the Editor: Well, actually I do think highly of my neigh- bors and the Sisters schools, which are known for excellence. I9m impressed by the many students who9ve been highlighted as Student of the Month, by activities such as the Sparrow Club, the Seed to Table program, the talented athletes and others gifted in art, music, science, etc. And my com- ments were not meant to suggest that those who choose the LGBT route are not also talented in many ways and worthwhile, loving people. Our own extended family has members in that community. But nevertheless, I and many others are very concerned that many of our young peo- ple all over the country are being led into a lifestyle that is detrimental to them 4 in increasing numbers as it is being presented to them as being a normal choice, even becom- ing something of a fad and a cool thing to do. Also it is detrimental to female athletes who have worked hard to excel in their sport, only to be beaten by <girls= who are biological boys! The arguments in support of this are argu- ments with God, not with me. For <In the begin- ning God created them male and female.= Psalm 139:13-16: <You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother9s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together... your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were writ- ten in your book before one of them came to be.= God is not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. It is up to you whether to believe God or fallible humans. Lorene Richardson s s The Cascades in winter... PHOTO BY MITCHELL GRIFFIN Sisters High School junior Mitchell Griffin caught the winter’s light on Broken Top last week. s To the Editor: On Friday, February 8, my son set down a new black tote bag with a Veterans symbol on it, at the outgoing bus stop in Sisters near the library. He was looking at a map and had to hail the bus, forgot the bag. Inside were birthday items; a small car- rot cake, a loaf of hobo bread, a box of gra- ham crackers, various articles, jokes from The Nugget, a birthday card with a gift card inside, a weather instrument. The tote bag was new, also. On the card was the name Geof or Feffie and on the cake container, also. If anyone has any information, please con- tact Linn Watson, 541-549-0892. Thank you.
