    A question of partisanship

    To the Editor:

    David Kaiser’s assessment of politicians, attorneys and ministers was certainly interesting, but I have noticed that when he doubts the integrity of a politician, his chosen subject is always a Democrat, in this case our president. I would like to ask him if there are, in his view, any Republican politicians who are guilty of the same practice.

    He doesn’t have to name an individual; a simple yes or no would suffice. The question is not a bear trap, and I am not asking him to bare his soul, or any other part of his anatomy.

    Hospice Home Tour

    To the Editor:

    Dear Friends,

    Who needs SCVH? Maybe you do! I did. I just needed a loan of a cane for a fewweeks and discovered the Santa Clara Valley Hospice- Home Support Group.

    The SCVH Home Support Group serves the rich and the poor. There is no charge for their services. They cover their overhead costs with donations and a few fund raisers throughout the year.

    What can they do for you?

    1. They have trained volunteers who can give a caretaker a hand or a rest. (Some bi-lingual)

    2. They have sources in the office who can direct you to services available through other organizations, medicare and medical. She will, also, help with paperwork needed for these services.

    3. They have a stock of medical equipment loaned, at no cost, when needed.

    4. They have a van with a trained driver that will transport those in need to medical appointments. Scheduling is imited to time and space available.

    These sources are offered to those who have had surgery, are ill, or have an on going health problem. If they can help in any way with a terminal situation they can be there.

    They are not a medical hospice.

    The SCVH-Home Support Group is here for the whole community from Santa Paula to Piru. As they offer their services free of charge, they need your support to keep their doors open and hopefully expand. They are located at 133 N. Mill, Santa Paula, (805) 525-1333.

     Please attend the upcoming Home Tour: The Oaks of Santa Paula, Saturday, May 4, 10 a.m.  to 4 p.m. Tickets $30 including lunch at Rabalais.

    See you there,

    Mike Cossid
