Letters

This is in response to the editorial in the Saturday, Oct. 6 edition by Editor Charlie Smith (“Police make progress in drug battle”). I wrote a letter earlier (“Expertise required for mental commitments,” Sept. 20) expressing concern about Chief Michael Kelly’s statements about handling the mentally ill.

Dear Editor,

In response to the article on Sept. 13, page 4A, concerning the Columbia Police Department handling the mentally ill: The direction Chief Michael Kelly is going on handling those people could very well bring a question of liability to the city.

Dear Editor,

Wednesday, Aug. 25, 2018, was the 13th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. We remember so well the day Aug. 29, 2005, when Katrina hit.

Gales started at 10 a.m., which brought down a tree on our den in our rental home at 1302 Willow Drive. An hour later came a large limb through the center of the master bedroom.

Dear Editor,

I am from Columbia and my husband is from Sandy Hook, south of Columbia. We both moved on in multiple ways a long time ago. Yesterday, I was reading aloud the list of newspapers that printed editorials stating that they are not the enemy of the people.
