ANDERSON, Ind. —
Scott Hall, head softball coach Butler University. Sounds like a winner. Of course, looking at his record, the wins stand out. A couple hundred victories, and lots of scholarship opportunities for his players.
Scott’s footprint in Pendleton doesn’t stop with the record. He continually challenged and engaged the parents to help create what is arguably the best facility in the state. Being blessed with great talent coming through the system, the needs of the team always eclipsed the desires of the parents and maximized the potential of the unit on the field.
Trust me on that point. Team rules weren’t compromised, regardless of the talent involved. As a teacher, “kinda hard” is what I’m told, but fair and approachable.
In his wake he leaves a great facility and an unbelievable record. He also helped nurses, educators, singers, midshipmen, U.S. Army cadets, police, physical therapists, marketers and accountants get a head start at the next level. Scott doesn’t deserve this opportunity. He’s earned it. We wish him well and are glad we participated in his success.

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt
To save America some money — by acclimation of course — let’s not have a presidential election in 2012. We already have a good president who will do his best to kill all Republican bills (DOA) and, consequently, create more good-paying jobs in the $30 per hour range.

Letter: Gingrich cashes in on political amnesia
Rasmussen says that Romney has flattened nationally. Why?
Two reasons seem to tell the tale. Gingrich has shown that he will fight, and Romney is a Mormon, believed to be a “cult” by a majority of evangelicals. -
Letter: Hiring Winkler not wise spending
As a taxpayer I want to know that my taxes are being spent wisely. Hiring Greg Winkler at a salary of $126,000 is not wise spending.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.

We are now getting the results of putting people in the gutters. We need to take a second look at our government and its policies. It’s not working.

Letter: Blame the voters for our Congress
Why is insider trading legal for Congress and illegal for the rest of us? They make and enact laws for all of us, but then exempt members of Congress. Somehow this doesn’t seem to pass the smell test.
