Deborah Daniels: This is the worst time to let down our pandemic guard
It’s starting to get cold, and I fear what will happen when coronavirus fatigue meets winter. Gov. Eric Holcomb’s first executive order declaring a public health emergency was issued March 6, with spring right around the corner. But winter presents a new challenge. By Sept. 30, the virus had reached all 92 Indiana counties, with […]
Dennis Sasso: What will the pandemic do to congregations?
Accustomed to coming together in assembly, we have learned to promote a sense of community from our separate living, dining and family rooms, from our patios and back yards. This outreach has been of immeasurable value, particularly to those who are unable to be together physically.
Letters: Republicans should unite against Trump
Donald Trump is a disgrace to the Republican Party and a threat to American democracy.
Letter: Numbers don’t back Trump economy claims
Donald Trump hasn’t told the truth about the economy. No wonder Mike Pence doesn’t want people to look at the statistics.
Letter: Keep religion—and hypocrisy out of government
I take offense at Curt Smith’s insertion of religion into any discussion having to do with our government.
Letter: Doctor’s numbers shouldn’t be trusted

Garrett Mintz: Leaders often underestimate their abilities
As a society, we assume the most prominent business leaders have it all together—that they are brimming with confidence and are unshakable. We have conditioned ourselves to believe that leaders must be ever confident—that an organization’s CEO must have the answers, whether that’s because he or she is at the top of the organizational chart or because the leader has control.
Editorial: Race for governor keeps us in dark
Granted, Holcomb and his campaign have nothing to gain politically by introducing creative policy proposals in the midst of a safe race. But how about January? He’ll have four years and little to lose by making bold proposals that can help those who are struggling, shore up our weaknesses and make Indiana more economically competitive than ever.

Letter: Thankful for Mutz’s courage in opposing Trump
I hope other traditionally Republican voters follow his lead and vote to remove this toxic presence known as Trump—who has done so much damage to our country at home and abroad—from the White House.
