Opportunity is the key

Rushville Republican

RUSHVILLE — Dear Editor: Governor Mike Pence has signed a proclamation declaring March to be Opportunity in Indiana Month.

I am very honored that the governor would approve this proclamation that I had created. The goal of this is to recognize that the pursuit of opportunity is a core Indiana value.

As part of my work as an AmeriCorps VISTA at United Way of Madison County, I’m working to advance the common good by creating opportunities for a better life for all.

Every day my work focuses on education, income and health, the building blocks for a good quality of life for all.

I’m working to recruit people and organizations that bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to get things done.

This is why I created a partnership with Opportunity Nation. Opportunity Nation is a national bipartisan initiative, working to build a national dialogue on opportunity as a core American value that desperately needs to be injected into the public conversation.

I invite all citizens to work to improve opportunity in your community. You can volunteer, support your local community organizations, determine what skill deficiencies you have and set a plan to gain needed skills, and get involved in the political process.

Travis Doto

  • Parade should be on Harrison Street

    Dear Editor:
    There was good reason for not moving the parade back onto Main Street after the third lane was rammed through: we learned Harrison Street is a better route for both the participants and the spectators.

  • Fondly remembering favorite teachers

    Dear Editor:
    If it wasn’t for my high school teachers Mrs. Gulde, Mr. Blair and Mrs. Perin, I might think that Chekov was only a starship pilot on “Star Trek,” Seymour Glass was the name of an Indiana glazier, and Romeo and Juliet was only a movie that starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Clair Danes.

  • A few words of thanks

    Dear Editor:
    Bob Hope once said, “If you haven’t any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.” I would like to report that we have so many wonderfully kind people in the community who are very “heart healthy” and completely free of this type of “heart trouble.”

  • Library should be county-wide

    Dear Editor:
    I read with interest Paul Barada’s column proposing that the Rushville Library should become a county facility.
    Way back in 1990, shortly after I became publisher of the Rushville Republican, I approached the director of the library, informing her that I wished to put the entire resources of the local newspaper behind a drive to convert the city library to a county library.
