No, it is not only men who are controlling

I am addressing the response to the letter about domestic violence in a February issue of The Valley Press. Of course it is not only men who are controlling and abusive. Statistics indicate that women are the abusers in about 5 percent of all cases. Exact stats can be obtained from the local organization you refer to SCCFF, as well as NOW (National Organization for Women) to name only two. Any mental health facility can provide those statistics, as can law enforcement agencies. One could argue that because 5 percent of abusers are in fact women, both genders should be referenced when discussing the issue of domestic violence.

Letters to the editor - Jan. 23, 2013

Why does it seem that every taxing body in this County needs a ‘keeper’? At a time when the very nation is in crisis mode about money, why are there even Preliminary plans for another giant boondoggle here?  Do we have to make it a law that every meeting of Any Taxing body here HAS to have a big Sign there saying “Mineral is among the poorest counties in Montana- GET IT? ACT LIKE IT!”  Just do your Job Better and forget about these monstrous ‘Pipedreams’ that occasionally ‘come up’ to Tax us All.  Doesn’t our School Board have anything better to do than plot to tax me out of my house?
