A message from Dem Party Chairman

In the past few weeks, the county prosecutor’s race has seen the introduction of stories that focus on everything except what the county prosecutor does.  I can understand that because the last thing anyone running against John Gamble would want is for this election to come down to qualifications.  For 30 years John Gamble has represented the people of Columbiana County by putting the most dangerous criminals in this county in JAIL.  Why haven’t we heard about his opponent’s cases?  His opponent has not listed one case he has tried and won.  For 30 years when this county had ...

A message from GOP Party Chairman

For weeks now there have been reports that Columbiana County Chief Assistant Prosecutor John Gamble was party to an incident at Pinky’s Lounge in New Garden, Ohio involving serious breaches of confidentiality and just plain inappropriate, illegal behavior by one in his position. This breach in confidentiality concerned highly sensitive and confidential information contained in an active Coroner’s Investigation relating to the tragic death of a local young lady, who in fact died of natural causes. A letter was sent by the mother of this deceased young lady to the County Prosecutor, ...

We need to change our hearts

To the editor: How can we as human beings be so conceited that each time something happens we always try and blame someone else rather than look inwards? We as a species are beyond judgmental in how we go through our lives. These people aren’t beautiful because they aren’t skinny. Or these people are beneath me because they have a different skin tone or faith. Whether we choose to be a part of the solution or the problem is totally up to us. But we have become a people that are numb to the truth because if we actually wanted to do something about it we would have to change ...

Medicare for all is unsustainable

To the editor: As a medical professional who serves patients each day, I know the importance of access to quality care at an affordable cost. As the debate about health care continues, some are proposing new health insurance systems that would be run by Washington politicians. This is a risky approach and I believe our leaders should instead be improving our current system—not creating new one-size-fits-all systems from scratch. Researchers warn that new government-controlled health insurance systems like Medicare for All or the public option would lead to unsustainable revenue ...

‘If you want this, you gotta vote for Joe Biden’

To the editor: Major events have perhaps turned the tide for Joe Biden. What would his chance of winning in November be were it not for the China virus and the “peaceful demonstrations” on behalf of Black Lives Matter, initiated by the death of George Floyd at the hands of a policeman in Minneapolis? Practically nil. It would appear Biden’s path to the White House is providentially ordained. Never mind the pre-COVID booming economy, tax cuts, the defeat of ISIS, significantly securing our southern border and the restoration of manufacturing jobs from China to the USA, all wrought ...

Mother of 9-11 victim expresses gratitude

To the editor: I want to express my appreciation to both the Evening Review and the Morning Journal for the stories on 9-11-01. I felt that you covered it with journalistic professionalism. Mayor Nancy Murry and Police Chief Wilson did an excellent presentation of the wreath. I was also pleased to see Barry Podwell — a classmate of Cathy’s. Later I watched the ceremony at Shanksville, Pa. Even with the COVID-19 restriction the ceremony was outstanding. The speakers reminded us of the heroic people on that plane. They brought home to me the fact that those people had time to try to ...
