Me thinks the lovely Miss Nieuwsma ought to remember that, as a new employee and not a peace officer, it likely isn't up to her to help recruit for the LCSO. One could even suppose that it's a tad presumptuous, and one might perhaps wonder if finding good Christian men to aid in the fight against evil is an endeavor best not taken up by dispatchers nor focused on Christ Church.<br><br>keely<br><br><br><br>"Were I to be again reduced to the chains of slavery, next to that enslavement, I should regard being the slave of a religious master the greatest calamity that could befall me. For of all slaveholders whom whom I have ever met, religious slaveholders re the worst. I have ever found the meanest and basest, the most cruel and cowardly, of all others. It was my unhappy lot not only to belong to a religious slaveholder, but to live in a community of such religionists."

"It<br>> would be great to see them filled with Christian men. The Lieutenant of the<br>> jail, Jim Loyd, is a strong Christian and so are several of the detention<br>> deputies. Other perks of working in the jail include unlimited access to the<br>> jail kitchen (which can have very tasty food) and there is a good amount of<br>> free time between jail bookings and rounds in which you are free to study,<br>> read, etc. Also, if you are interested in someday hitting the streets as a<br>> patrol deputy, the jail is an excellent place to start, giving you an<br>> advantage over other applicants. The closing date is soon: August 24, so be<br>> sure to get your applications in if you are interested. Jail shifts are five<br>> days a week, eight hour days."<br>> <br>> Nieuwsma goes on to mention in addition to the detention positions, there<br>> also are two openings in patrol and you don't need any experience to apply.<br>> Not only does the sheriff's office put new people through 12 weeks of<br>> training and pays for attending the Peace Officer Standards and Training<br>> Academy (10 weeks for detention deputies) at Meridian, Idaho, patrol<br>> officers are issued a "take home" car, which Nieuwsma explains as allowing<br>> the officer to "check on from your driveway and check off in your living<br>> room."<br>> <br>> But there's more!<br>> <br>> "You are issued a handgun and rifle, and you get to work for Sheriff Wayne<br>> Rausch, a wonderful Christian," she continues. "Working as a cop is an<br>> excellent opportunity for Christians to be at the forefront in the battle<br>> against evil." <br>> <br>> If it were not for age restrictions, the INKster would be tempted to apply.<br>> Free food, cars, paid reading time and guns, not to mention the opportunity<br>> to battle evil in the name of the Lord, sounds like the dream job to her."<br>> <br>> Commissioners, can you please clarify?!?!?
