Road Trips to Waterfalls, Small Towns, and Unusual Hoosier Locales
Waking from its nap Spencer used to be a somnolent town where the parking meters took pennies, and it didn’t matter if you fed the meter because no one ever seemed to check them. But Spencer is coming out of its trance, and its renaissance is a passion project for many residents and local entrepreneurs. New businesses include a cozy coffeehouse, a candy store, and shops offering carefully curated wares, all of which make Spencer’s spirit of pride feel truly special. Literally.
Limestone Post’s Top Stories of 2020, a Most Unusual Year
Even though we published it last year, M.J. Bower’s photo essay, “The Murals of Bloomington — Photos and Trail Map,” has been popular all year long, because of her comprehensive photo gallery and because people have used the trail map for outdoor excursions during the pandemic. Bloomington and beyond Laurie D. Borman is among the writers who had to postpone or kill at least one of their articles due to the pandemic. But Laurie still turned in two articles.

Letter: Reyes is part of Trump’s cover-up
In “Utah A.G. Reyes joins GOP colleagues urging Trump’s acquittal” (Tribune, Jan. 23), Attorney General Sean Reyes says, “Unfortunately, the Democrats never set out to ascertain the truth and have weaponized a process that should only be initiated in exceedingly rare circumstances.” Sean Reyes, I wonder: Who do you work for? It is very concerning for the state’s top lawyer to be making such statements that are knowingly and provably false.

Indiana Democrats and the Politics of White Nativism
Since the election of Donald Trump to the White House in 2016, much of the journalistic and academic spotlight has been focused on how Trump’s ascension to the presidency is reshaping the national Republican Party and the degree to which the nationalist and nativist forces unleashed during the 2016 campaign will reshape American politics in coming electoral cycles. As president, Trump has become the de-facto leader of the GOP.
Letter: Stewart made it easier for the mentally ill to get a gun
In your Wednesday front page story, “Romney, Stewart and Curtis back ‘red flag’ laws,” Rep. Chris Stewart said: ”For two years, I have supported legislation that would have taken weapons out of the hands of those who are mentally incompetent.” Perhaps the report should have mentioned that on Feb. 2, 2017, Stewart did exactly the opposite by voting “yes” to a bill co-sponsored by Reps.
Hoosier Lawyers, Voters Owe Debt to Antoinette Leach
After ridicule at Indiana’s statehouse in 1911, Leach must have enjoyed the energy and uplift of the NAWSA convention with likeminded women from across the country, which included Jane Addams, Emmaline Pankhurst, Anna Howard Shaw, Alice Paul, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Dorothy Dix, and Katherine Hepburn’s mother, Katherine Houghton Hepburn.

Letter: Become an ally to marginalized people - commit to stopping hate today
Hate speech is being normalized in this country. We simply cannot let it happen. Since 2016, hate crimes are rising, and it is a sad trajectory. Most Americans are not violent hatemongers. Yet normalization creeps into our society when our national leaders fail to condemn intolerant behavior. We normalize hatred with our silence. Too often, we are witnesses to behavior that is unacceptable. If we are not the target of intolerance, it is easy to look the other way.
Letter: LDS women must make themselves heard on Bears Ears
Americans of faith would probably tell you their preeminent concern today is freedom of religion. This issue is especially poignant for Mormons, whose ancestors experienced religious persecution.
