Hunting has many benefits

EDITOR: I am writing in response to the recent letter from Diana Peach which expressed her opposition to hunting. Although I personally haven’t hunted deer, I have hunted ruffed grouse and many of my friends and family hunt deer and other wild game. There are many aspects of hunting that non-hunters may not have considered. According to scientists who study animal behavior, intelligence and brain function, animals such as wild game animals don’t experience pain in the same way that humans or other primates do because they don’t have the same type of self-awareness. Their fear ...

Community coming together

EDITOR: Every day, there are amazing people who change the world by doing something nice just to see someone smile. And there were lots of smiles to go around as all area veterans were honored for their service to our country at the Veterans Day Celebration that was held at the Delta County Chamber building and sponsored by the Delta County Veterans Council and the U. P. Military Museum. The Delta County Veterans Council, the Steam & Gas Engine Association and the U. P. Military Museum want to thank local businesses for their help to make the day special for our veterans. Thank you ...

Opposed to hunting

EDITOR: The Daily Press is complicate in the whole sale slaughter of our grandiose front page exploitation of dead deer posing with some pea brained hunter. Hopefully, there will be other subscribers to your newspaper who also threw their Daily Press in the trash with the other garbage and refused to bother reading possible other intelligent newsworthy events. Exploiting this yearly slaughter to sell more newspapers is beyond disgusting. You have lost all credibility and decency. What about elevating your reporting by representing the interests of those who hate this slaughter ...

Quick to listen, slow to anger

EDITOR: As I sit here during my morning devotion time, I anticipate the Thanksgiving holiday this week. It is truly a time for giving thanks for all we have...and how blessed we are. My prayer is for peace amidst all the divisiveness that seems to prevail. I will be 80 this coming year...and I’ve never experienced such division in our country...ever! Oh...we’ve had our moments, but never to this level. It’s hard to read the news. I usually read it and research it and then come to my own conclusions, because in most cases...it’s written not to inform but to express one side or ...

Concert praised

EDITOR: Once more Escanaba was reminded of God’s goodness. Last Sunday evening the Escanaba Baroque ensemble performed Handel’s Messiah at the St Joseph Catholic Church. This performance, I am sure, was as astonishing as when it was first performed in Dublin, Ireland on April 13, 1742. Cheers, whoopings and applause never stop at the concert in Escanaba! The size of the audience was amazing. The entire sanctuary of St Joe’s Church was filled. All this is a testimony and effect of the story of Jesus’ life and resurrection it still has on us. Not just did the concert prepare us ...
