Letters to the editor

Killing Canada geese

Dear Editor: For years, the Canada geese have been coming to our Lake Wawasee shoreline. We don’t feed them but they congregate on our lot to preen and rest. In summer, tourists come up in boats to photograph them as it’s a beautiful sight. They trust man as they’ve been protected for years. Suddenly, in autumn, with no warning to the lake people, shots ring out at dusk from hunters hidden in boats in the marsh. A goose plummets to the water wounded or dead. It is difficult for non-hunters to comprehend what possible satisfaction there could be in the killing of tame geese. Provisions for the handicapped? Dear Editor, I appreciate the donations of time, energy, and money being given by the Friends of the Library so that the Milford Public Library can be redecorated and refurbished. It is good that the invitation to help with financial donations has been given to the Milford Community, and I hope the response will reach the desired goal. In our Library the books, magazines, the variety of materials and services, including the inter-library service, and the programs and activities are for EVERYONE, including young and old, the able bodied and the disabled. e I have this question: Are any provisions being included in the renovations to make the building more accessible for the handicapped? I hope so! Sincerely, Naomi Waggy Ducks on the channel Dear Editor If we love God, we should love all his creatures. We learn through our faith that God made all living creatures, including the animals. He expects us to be as kind and protective toward them and less fortunate human beings. Moreover, we should teach our children this lesson in character and unselfishness, so they should conduct their lives with love and respect for all of God’s creatures, whatever they may be. Won’t someone be concerned enough to feed the ducks at the Ward Park this winter? We, Joe Baumgartner, Herbert Lang, my wife and myself have fed them for 20 years but due to our health are unable to continue. Everett Ketering

The hunter claims his rights because he purchased a S2O license, expensive gun, and expensive ammo. What are the lake residents rights? Should we not have been informed of the fact they would allow shooting on our lake? Some hunters are very knowledgeable and careful, but we all know that others are not. These are the ones we are concerned about where there are children playing and homes nearby. Why not keep the hunting restricted to the game .preserve where there could be some control? If there is a concern about the over population of the geese that could lead to eventual starvation, who knows what would happen? They could move on to other waters. The hunter s thrill is in the killing. Our thrill is hearing the approaching honking of these magnificent winged birds as they fly in formation and fill the sky with their beauty.
