Justice

Editor, Times-Union:
This letter is concerning unfair justice. My questions are as follows:

1. How can a person continue to be arrested on possession, OWI, battery, etc.?

2. How can a person be on probation having more than one felony charge pending?

3. How can a person be arrested on some of these same charges again recently, bond out again and walk the streets?

This is why so many people are being hurt. I think it's pretty sad when, charge after charge, this person is slapped on the hand.

Someone is really laughing at our judicial system.

Animal Welfare

Editor, Times-Union:
We're writing about the situation at the animal shelter in Warsaw. Wednesday, of this week, my daughter and I took dog and cat food over to the shelter to try to help with the problems at hand. It was a sad sight. The volunteers at the shelter do as much as possible with the tools they have, but only so many animals can be kept at a shelter of this size for any long period of time. After reading the article called "Humane Society," I was appaulled at how three people (Cathy Teghtmeyer, John Bauman and James Butts) could take from these poor animals. The money was NOT meant for their personal needs, but the needs and welfare of the animals that come to the shelter were what the Putts had intended for. We all need to avoid having any contact with these three individuals, let them eat cake. The community needs to pull together and support this shelter.

Michael Helton, Heather Helton, Warsaw
