Dine & Donate for Wallace House
EDITOR: Are you looking to combine a good cause and a good meal? If you treat yourself to a meal at Mary’s Pizza any time Oct. 10, you’ll also be supporting the Wallace House Emergency Shelter, a vital service to our town of Cloverdale. If you bring a flyer to the restaurant that day, the Wallace House will receive 15 percent of your bill, including any gift certificate you purchase. Flyers are available at Low Knob Press, the Mail Center, the United Church office and on our Facebook page. It’s very important that you bring the flyer so that Mary’s makes the donation.
Since opening in 1982, the Wallace House has provided many tens of thousands of people with a range of services and case management, often collaborating with the VA and Vet Connect. By receiving help from the Wallace House many have had their lives turned around to become productive members of our community. If you’re interested in finding out more about the Wallace House, visit www.wallacehouse.org, or on our Facebook page “Wallace House Community Services.”
Please come to Mary’s, enjoy a good meal, and feel good about supporting this important cause.

Science and religion
EDITOR: I’d like to offer a couple of comments on Bob Jones’ piece in the Reveille of Sept. 21. First, I find the title (“Science versus religion, again”) unnecessarily provocative; plenty of scientists are religious, and plenty of religious people are scientists.
Second, the piece seems to suggest in its ninth and tenth paragraphs that in order to behave morally and ethically, you have to be religious. Not only do I reject this suggestion, but it’s quite obvious that being religious provides no guarantee of moral and ethical behavior. The Crusaders, the Spanish Inquisition, and the KKK are or were all Christian.
