Letters To The Editor

Trump supporter addresses columnist

To the editor: I read an article by Connie Schultz asking us how we are now after three years of President Trump. The article was very anti-Trump with no facts. So Connie let me tell you I am after three years. I am someone who is thankful that the president loves this country and cares about the American people. I’m thankful he wants OUR country and OUR economy to prosper. I’m thankful he values lives. From the unborn to the senior citizens. I’m thankful he has put America first and has made it know that God watches over us. Most leaders in the world put their own countries ...

It is time to reopen America

To the editor: The danger has passed, the curve has been flattened, peaked, plateaued and is on the decline. Given the dire forecast models that our leaders were faced with at first drastic measures were the correct course of action. Thanks to those measures the hospitals and medical system are not overwhelmed, extra hospitals built by the Army Corps of Engineers were under used or not used at all. We need to reopen the America, not so the President can brag about his economy, but because people are hurting. The worst-case scenario never came. The highly contagious Covid-19 is not ...

Try looking at past tragedies and hardships

To the editor: As we watch the evening news and the talking heads present us with the doom and gloom that this virus is causing us in 2020, I’m sure we all feel more than a little concerned. After all we are watching — according to everyone from “entertainment ,” talk show hosts and news anchors — an unprecedented disruption. We are experiencing (according to the “experts”) a world crisis no one has ever seen. Economies are cratering, jobless rates are skyrocketing, and as of May we have over 50,000 deaths in American alone. “MORE THAN THE VIETNAM WAR” – OMG!! ...

As we celebrate Earth Day, let’s preserve Little Beaver Creek

To the editor: No matter what any of us are going through right now because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is comforting to know that just about anywhere across Ohio we can still get outside and enjoy this beautiful time of year. It is a time of renewal for most of us spiritually, as well as a renewal of life itself in our natural world. This time of year I always reflect on Earth Day and what it means. On April 22 we will be celebrating an important milestone, the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. On April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans — 10 percent of the U.S. population at that time ...

Thank you for supporting the Fleming House

To the editor: On Saturday, March 7 the Fleming House of Family Recovery Center in Lisbon hosted a spaghetti dinner fundraiser. The event was to assist in raising funds to benefit the women and children who reside in the housing units. Overall, the fundraiser was extremely successful, not only because of the funds raised, but the amount of community involvement and support was quite heart-warming. We would like to personally thank all of the community members who played a part in making this event a successful one. Especially our local vendors for providing food, supplies and ...

Michael Bloomberg’s defeat

To the editor:  Imagine the bitter disappointment Mike Bloomberg must now be experiencing after his dismal performance in the Super Tuesday primaries. Except for the American Samoa caucus, he did not see a single first-place outcome. During his brief campaign, this Democrat spent enough to buy everybody in the USA a lunch. Did you get one? "Mini-Mike," as Donald Trump calls him, rebutted his detractor by claiming the true size of a man is measured from his neck up. In other words, how much brainpower is stuffed in that head. Bloomberg is certainly not without smarts. As one of the ...
