Enchanted Elements: More Than Tarot And Palms Thank you so much for featuring Enchanted Elements in your January issue. As a long time fan of outlook, we appreciate your support of the local community. The article was great, but did omit a very important part of our business; our third partner, Sarah Alley. Sarah is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who offers counseling in a unique and wonderful way.... 

Cooper Tire Needs to Share the Wealth Dear Readers and Editor: I am writing to express my concern for the employees of Cooper Tire as well as my anger with this “American company”, who has millions of dollars in profits, taken free utilities from the city of Findlay, and how many other state or federal incentives over the years. Now, they want to deny these loyal, hardworking employees quality... 

Congratulations and Great Job To the Publishers: First guys let me say CONGRATULATIONS on the wonderful unveiling event that was done last night. I was so touched and moved that I could share the evening with one of my family members. My sister was most impressed with the entire evening. Secondly, I was able to pick up a copy of the December issue last night and upon getting home I was able to read... 

Ask for Whom the Bell Tolls (The Salvation Army Is an Anti-LGBT Church) Where a man and a woman love each other, sexual intimacy is understood as a gift of God to be enjoyed within the context of heterosexual marriage… Scripture forbids sexual intimacy between members of the same sex.

Dear Editor of Outlook: Although I’m a major investor in the Ibiza development with more to lose than probably all of the condo depositors combined, I didn’t bother to read your original story or subsequent “coverage” about the development. Everyone is aware of the hard-on you personally have for the developers and that you never attempted to talk to any of them as the flawed piece... 

To the Editor: It was with great sadness and disappointment that I read Abbey Marie Miller’s feature article titled “Find Fraud” in the September issue of Outlook Magazine. As a former banker and commercial loan officer, I have had the pleasure and honor of working with Michael Council for 25 years. In our numerous business dealings during those two and a half decades, I have always... 

DADT Experts: Federal Courts Must Protect Gay Troops by Diane H. Mazur and Aaron Belkin After “Don’t ask, don’t tell” (DADT) is repealed on September 20, it would be difficult for any future administration to reverse the change. Most of the country supports allowing gay men and lesbians to serve openly, including a majority of Republicans, and it will be operationally and politically... 

Open Letter to LGBT Parents and Supporters: My name is Julie Rowell. You might recognize my name from an article in Outlook published in June 2010. I’m writing today to express my sadness and frustration at the impact of the Ohio Supreme Court’s recent decision upholding a Cincinnati judge’s decision to end her relationship with the child she had helped raise since birth. The decision is especially... 

Bridging the Communication Gap in a Conservative World by Abby Dees Sometimes it’s tempting to give up on people. I routinely despair that Conservative America will ever come around to embracing LGBT rights, despite those ever-hopeful Log Cabin Republicans. At least this is what it feels like when I accidently tune in to Fox instead of the Weather Channel one number away. However, when I’m face...
