Time for Change in Ohio Marijuana Law

Dear Editor, My name is Matt Saxton. I live in Knox County. I work in IT and was a journalist prior. I also was in an SUV crash at 3:16 p.m Sunday, Aug. 10, 2003. Since then, I have suffered from degenerative disc disease. I also have chronic radiculopathy. A few years ago, I took opioids for pain relief. Fentanyl. Oxycontin. Some I do not remember. In 2019, I moved to Canton for a career change. My physician recommended I see a medical marijuana specialist. I went. Hesitatingly. I was raised conservative. I was told it was bad. Dr. Steven Davis made me feel comfortable. I got ...

Thank you volunteers

Dear Editor, St. Clairsville Area Council of Churches Food Pantry thanks all the volunteers that helped with the Christmas Giving Services held at the First Presbyterian Church and Food Pantry held on December 3rd an 10th at 9:30 am and 1 pm.

Fascism: A major threat

Dear Editor: I was about 12 when I first learned about the holocaust — the slaughter of 6 million Jews — and I have wondered forever more how the German people, a supposed civilized people, could allow a madman like Hitler lead them to commit the greatest crime in the history of the world? The first book I read about the Nazi dictator was Alan Bullock’s Hitler: A Study of Tyranny, the standard biography of Hitler. After reading Bullock’s book and many other Third Reich books and watching many related films, I still can’t understand how the German people, and their ...

Time remains

Dear Editor, The founders of this nation wisely provided measures for a time such as this. Given three possibilities, honesty, courage, and reason will be necessary for the rectification of this brazen attempt through the election process to overthrow the United States as founded! State legislatures, the Congress, or the Supreme Court all have the power to uphold the pillars of our founding. If none do, then a successful judgment will have been rendered where all previous enemies of the United States including the multi-million dollar Mueller attack based on the fake Steele ...

Reader reacts to letter

Dear Editor, One of your self-ordained religion experts recently shared his Bible research concerning present day events; this has allowed him to determine the November election was stolen. He is distressed that 50 or 60 million people voted to murder babies, to “deny” Israel, to allow unknown people to censor our free speech, to destroy our law enforcement. The obvious question is, which version of the Bible prompts him to make these judgments? The Alternative News Bible? The Revised Delusional Version? Perhaps the King Donald Version? Time spent “researching” ...

Trump lost

Dear Editor, Being a Republican used to mean being rational. We were more concerned with facts than feelings. But there’s one fact some Republicans are having trouble with: Donald Trump lost this election fair and square. Now he seems hell-bent on bringing our party and country down with him. Trump tweeted that he wanted a list of the Republicans in Congress who acknowledged, correctly, that Biden won. The fact that only 10 percent of Congressional Republicans can state that simple fact is both pathetic and revealing — Trump will pressure Republicans to deny reality even after he ...
