SAINTS PERSPECTIVE, SCCC President Brad Bennett

This Friday, Seward County Community College will host a 10 a.m. ribbon-cutting for our on-campus Student Health Center. I think it is fitting that we scheduled this event on what the rest of the world celebrates as Valentine’s Day.

Don’t worry, I’m not presenting the overlap as some type of “either/or” choice. I am sure my wife will not interpret the ribbon-cutting as something I value more than our marriage. Like me, she knows that love is not just about words and gesture. It’s about how we show up in everyday life.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR, Reita Isaacs, Liberal

The strangest thing happened this morning before I could settle down and share some new happenings: even though I hadn’t started writing the date on my articles, I remembered there was one that covered much of what’s happening today, so if it’s okay with Earl, I’d like to copy the first part.

‘How did we get to this breakdown in our country? It started many years ago and took a plan and strategy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR, Janeth Vazquez, Liberal City Commissioner

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has shown support for my recent efforts to protect families in our community, particularly those who may be vulnerable during times of deportation. The response has been overwhelming, and I am deeply grateful to be a part of a community that cares about the safety and well-being of all its members.

As a City Commissioner, my primary concern is the protection of hard-working families — those who contribute to our community every day, no matter their status. My recent social media post on my PERSONAL page was intended solely to provide guidance and ensure that families, especially children, are kept safe in uncertain times. This is not about supporting criminal activity but about ensuring that people know how to protect themselves during a difficult situation. The focus has always been preserving the safety of families, especially the most vulnerable, and not creating division.
