Letters To The Editor

Locker room talk

Dear Editor: The primordial beast of carnality and lust strikes early and often at practically all males of species Homo sapiens. Few are exempt. The beast never lets up — when fulfillment is not forthcoming, one must sublimate his carnal desires. Richness of source material abounds — the most convenient outlet takes the form of ribald humor that is oft-times coarse and vulgar. Whether it be a downright crude joke or some juicy gossip concerning sex, you can bet that guys will listen close and that hearty laughter will be heard. Men’s predilection for ribaldry that begins ...

‘Walk for Women’ a success

Dear Editor; On behalf of the Hancock County Health Department staff and the West Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program, I would like to thank all walkers and sponsors for making “The Walk for Women … Take a Step Against Breast Cancer Awareness” walk a success. Our T-shirt sponsors included Weirton Medical Center, First Choice America Community Federal Credit Union, CHANGE Inc.  and Stuff With Attitude. Thanks also goes out to Mountaineer Casino, Sparkle Market,  Fox’s Pizza  Den, Sheetz, Eat N Park, Tudor’s, Walmart, Ted’s Plaza Pharmacy,  ...

Inviting anarchy

Dear Editor: Has it not been the media informing us for the last 30 years that America is no longer restricted by some outdated moral code? Instead of putting women on a pedestal because it’s sexist, they are sent to become special forces. This is nothing but feign outrage by the media to further their agenda to elect Hillary. As well, it is unrealistic to believe that lewd and vulgar language is a rarity amongst men or women at any level of society. Consider it the same as masturbation. Claim to do it, you are a damn fool, but deny that you do, you’re called a ...

Vote Cowey

Dear Editor: Paul Cowey is the only person running for Hancock County commissioner who cares about the issues. I say this because he attends every commission meeting and takes notes. None of the other candidates have done so. He talks to people attending the meetings, asks questions, and listens to concerns. No other person running for the Hancock County Commission has. Not one other candidate has shown any interest in speaking to the public about his vision for the county. The Republican candidate running for office moved to Hancock County just in time to meet the requirement ...

Get out and vote

Dear Editor: Let’s talk about Donald Trump, everybody’s doing it. Traveling through the area I see Trump stickers on cars and signs in people’s yards and I’m wondering, Why Trump? People are saying they want change. President Obama got millions of people medical insurance that couldn’t be gotten previously; he saved millions of jobs with a crippled auto industry; and he lived up to many of his promises, and would have done much more if the majority Republican congress didn’t hold him back. So, what’s to change? Some changes you’ll see for sure with a Trump ...

Why continue to aid addiction?

Dear Editor: Can we take a minute to discuss the ongoing, drastically growing drug epidemic going on in our communities? How ridiculous is it to you that drug addicts who choose to ruin their lives, continuously, have a free drug given to them, and then the ones who have no choice to be stung by a bee or ingest a peanut cannot afford their live saving drug? Can we talk about that? I seriously don’t understand how as a community, we can allow for multiple revivals done for drug users who choose their lifestyle! I guarantee everyone will say, “Well, you don’t understand ...
