To the Editor:
God bless you for taking a stand against a "woman's right to choose" to dismember her unborn child (March Gazette). Even after 34 years of abortion being legal, I still find it surreal in a nation of "Christians" this grisly proce-dure, this crime against children, is allowed to continue.
In this nation of well-fed bodies and truth-starved souls are those who continue to look the other way and pretend not to notice as our tiniest citizens are being led to their death, with scarcely a word of protest, and seldom from the ones who have charge of teaching and speaking out.
The time has come to dispense with the sanitizing euphemisms such as "choice" and "life issues." Call it what it is: a blood bath.
It's way past time to put an end to these wrongful deaths and extend the Golden Rule to God's tiniest children. Thank you, Sue, for your editorial.

Hi, Sue. I am the person who runs the soundboard at St. Victoria from time to time. We've met several times. I just wanted to say that you do a wonderful job with the Gazette, and I have found the fishhook many times. I just have never spoke up about it, but I see this month the fishhook is on page 13 in the clover for the Metropolitan Ford ad. I don't want any reward, but to just reward you with a compliment on a great newspaper. Say hi to Jamie Moore and the choir for me.
Sincerely and best wishes to you on excellent work.

Excellent editorial on the "gabilla" and partial birth abortion. I will attach it to our church bulletin board.

My name is Ashley Sukhu. I am in 6th grade. I am 12 years old. I found the fishhook because my mom gave me the newspaper. I will give you my address.

The fishhook is on page 13 in the shamrock. We only send in the fishhook guess when we pay for the paper, but we look for it every month. Good job.

To the Editor:
Thank you for your faithfulness in bringing the news of Victoria and the area to all of us. I enjoyed Ethel Ausink's column in the March Gazette. This is good news. Our freedoms we have were not won sitting on our hands complaining. A new spring is on the way. Enjoy it.

To the Editor:
I suspect many of your readers do as I when receiving the Gazette, and turn first to the editor's comments to see what is on her mind these days. These tend to be both entertaining and quite informative.
The March editorial I thought was particularly powerful, contrasting the life of a young child with the death industry that is out there and threatens to become part of our culture. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us.
It's interesting how momentum is beginning to change on the abortion issue, both in Washington (Supreme Court appointees), in the states (South Dakota law, Positive Alternatives Act in Minne-sota), and in ordinary conversation (abortion is no longer politically correct as perhaps just five or ten years ago).
With the education taking place through the pro-life billboards that are out there on our highways, letters to the editor, and, yes, editorials such as yours pointing out the basic immorality of taking the lives of the smallest and most helpless among us, people's hearts and minds are being changed.
Our society may have some hope of stepping out of this dark period of our nation's history (even as it did after that greatly flawed Dred Scott decision of a century and more ago).
Thanks for helping to clarify this for many who may be confused on these critical life issues, or may simply disagree at this time. Your editorial has to make even these friends of ours think more deeply.

Hi, Sue. You made me chuckle by adding an "s" in front of the word "tories" in my letter last month, and turned it into "stories." If you recall your American history, a Tory was a person who sided with the English during America's War of Independence.
I also liked the information about Elizabeth Diethelm, and the photo of her with Father Bob was super!
And thanks for your great explanation of how Krey is pronounced. The Krey family would have found it to be most amusing.
Regarding the recent death of Ken Diethelm, one of his first jobs when he and Jerry Diethelm started in the carpentry business in the early 1960's was to raise the roof of our house and make a 27-foot dormer. The total cost was $3,000 and the top wage of the crew was $3 per hour. I do recall also that he sought the advice of his uncle Henry Diethelm regarding the best way to do some of the work.
