Don t Sligo coat i know it s hard for you to print every letter that Cornel across your desk but please print this one. It s a rebuttal to the person who wrote that she could t be Tice that you printed the pictures of what happened to the servicemen in Mogadishu. I know we Are All sorry for what Hap pc did to them and looking at it made me realize How much we take our lives for granted. Viewing something like this is a Shockto reality and i realized How truly Lucky we arc to be americans. My problem is How can she honestly think by Only print ing the Story that i would have been bet Ter i think by showing us everything you had on the Story your were doing you duty to us who count on what you put in the paper. This is the 90s, and there is no Way you can sugarcoat the news. I want to see what s going on in every aspect no matter Hov bad. I think the stars and stripes should be commended for its work and not change a thing because a few people Don t want to see what s going on. Deolece my lick a Schaffenburg Germany this is your world a picture is Worth a thousand this old saying could never be More True when describing the photograph of the slain Soldier being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu no writer could Ever put into words the feelings that photograph evoked. I would like nothing More than to open a newspaper and see nothing but Good news but that s just not the world we liven. Soldiers Are being killed in Somalia children Are being slaughtered in Bosnia and Herzegovina tourists Are being gunned Down in Florida people Are being beaten and burned alive because of the color of their skin and people Are starving to death All Over the world. We have seen All of these images in the Media and each one is disturbing but it s these disturbing images that prompt us to take action. We can choose not to look at what is really going on in the world but that will not make the problems go away. The stars and stripes like any decent publication has the responsibility to present the news As it is. If the photograph made you angry direct your anger to those responsible for the atrocities in the photo graph. Getting angry at a newspaper is simply blaming the messenger for bad news. Staff sgt. George r. Macbeth _ Bamburg Germany big shoes to fill i am a family child care provider in Hei Delberg Germany and was an acc provider stateside for five years. I often read and hear of people thinking that providers make Large incomes not True and have easy jobs def merely not True. To be a provider you must have extensive background checks by the criminal investigation come Cid attend a 40-hour Orien tation program which must be renewed every three years be currently certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation car and first Aid have your Home inspected by fire and safety inspectors environmental specialists and your i cd director outreach worker education specialist Community health nurse and or nutrition specialist and attend a monthly training As Well As Workon 13 modules correspondence courses. Your family must be interviewed and in full agreement to opening your acc Home. I make $6.76 per hour and after expenses such As food supplies and strollers is reduced to around s3 per hour. We do not get paid sick leave or paid vacation. If we take leave of any kind it comes out of our pock ets. Many providers Burn out after a year or two not because of caring for the children but because of the red tape Low respectability level and lower pay As providers we do recede a Small monthly subsidy from the government which is different in every army Community in Europe based on the need for care and available funds. As i speak this May be in jeopardy with some of us standing to lose in a big Way. The tragedy to All of this is will be a big loss for the children. So the next time you hear of a Day Cate provider making big Bucks at his or her easy Job just offer to fill those shoes Forone Day they la be Way too big. Germany. Be coverage please Here is another request to the armed forces network management to seriously reconsider their policy of delaying College football telecasts each saturday evening. The College football season lasts approximately 12 weeks each year and every autumn weekend features a number of important games. Several years ago we had no Opportunity to receive live sports coverage from the states. Now we do. So How about taking another close look at this policy one More time Rick Kearney Wiesbaden Germany �. Admiration grows i read the article South Korea rejects Jackson sept. 11and i fail to under stand Why . Business and government leaders have written letters on Michael Jackson s behalf suggesting a rejection could adversely affect . Korean relations. This would not affect my appreciation of korean culture. It enhances it. If a country docs not accept a performer who wishes to perform in their county Why should they not say How can businesses and the . Government make such a threat South Korea or any country certainly has this prerogative to choose without condemnation How they wish their citizens to be influenced. I say this is not considering the personality of any performer. If South Korea rejected Gail Gilmore or Shirley Verrett intelligent and truly talented persons for a performance again i would not understand. But Noone especially . Government leaders has the right to threaten any country for choosing those considered not appropriate for their culture. Should the singers mentioned above be rejected for a performance i would merely think that country s culture is lacking. I have a great respect for South Korea now More than before. It s All a matter of taste. A. Williams Vicenza Italy videos Are
