Letters to the Editor

A tribute to Bill Nagel

Dear Editor, There are people who cross your path in life and leave you with a new window on the world. Their friendship and influence brighten your perspective and illuminate the path you seek to follow. In my sixty-eight years on this earth, I can name a handful of those kinds of people. Bill Nagel was one of them. When the Colerain Presbyterian Church hired me fifteen years ago to be their pastor, Bill and his wife Nancy made sure I knew they were in my corner. During that first year of ministry at Colerain, my wife Judy and I went to Red Lobster on a Saturday afternoon to enjoy a ...

Sign Stealing

Dear Editor, I would like to comment on a disturbing trend that is taking place in our area during this election season. That would be the stealing of political signs. As Chairperson of the Executive Committee of the county Democratic Party, I am enraged at what is happening to our campaign signs. I have planted signs for our candidates alongside our Republican candidates’ signs and somehow, ours mystically vanish while the others stay intact. I have sat in our headquarters and individuals have come in wanting to get candidate signs to place on their property but fear they will ...

Trump not what America needs

Dear Editor, Losing the 2020 election for Trump was an ego busting experience. How could anyone not vote for him! So, he took matters into his own hands to STILL make it happen. Which we know didn’t happen. Thanking God for that! Now, in 2024, he is running again, this time “to stay out of jail.” For people that have rubbed shoulders with him to not be supporting him should be enough evidence for those who have never looked upon his face to know he is not what we want for president! As if his lies, contempt, bigotry, etc., etc. aren’t enough! Shirley Saffle Woodsfield

Research Harris before casting ballot

Dear Editor, For those liberals who continue to say the FAKE NEWS isn’t in bed with democrats, a recent survey of Democrats revealed that 71% didn’t know she (presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris) supports reparations to atone for slavery, 86% didn’t know she supported the rights of death row inmates to vote, 73% didn’t know she cosponsored the Green New Deal, 81% didn’t know she is in favor of eliminating private health insurance, 71% didn’t know she was in favor of defunding the police, 78% didn’t know she helped set up the bail fund for protestors that ...

Why we need to vote Moreno and Trump

Dear Editor, Why we need Bernie Moreno in the U.S. Senate and President Trump in the White House: Putting everything on the line, Moreno steps up to defend freedom and our U.S. Constitution. He’s in this for Ohio. He’s in this for his posterity and ours. And so is President Trump. Slick political “scientists” Sherrod Brown, Biden and Harris, have almost ruined the land of the free and the home of the brave. ...

Unwanted children

Dear Editor, Supporters of Choice and “Abortion Rights” tend to focus on the rights of a woman to control her body, to protect her physical and mental health, and to guarantee her right to medical care when needed. These are all very valid demands. One more very powerful element and an important issue that needs to be seen by all is the fate of unwanted children. Some people shouldn’t be parents. They might try their best to not conceive, but failures happen. Imagine being told you were not wanted. If balanced by love and care it may not hurt, but without that it can be a ...
