Letter to the Editor

Editor, In response to Davis Mayor Tomson’s LTE, I’ll address what he conveniently left out. I admire Mayor Tomson; he’s dedicated to his community. He’s working to address the housing crisis being caused by second homeowners who drive Corridor H often. It is commendable. I appreciated his article about the...

Letter to the Editor

 Editor,   A few weeks back I saw a bumper sticker on the way to a beer festival that read, “FOSSIL FUELS ARE SO LAST CENTURY” and had to stifle a laugh. Aside from the riotous irony that the owner of that KIA had to fill up at the pump,...

Letter to the Editor: Corridor

Editor, It is Now Time to Build Corridor H Greetings. There was a letter to the Editor by Rachelle Davis. Unfortunately, the letter sites a petition signed by over 5,000 people that is based on outdated information, personal opinions, and erroneous information that misleads the public regarding the Revised Original...

Letter to the Editor: Petition

Editor, Over 5,000 individuals have now signed a Change.org petition advocating for a northern route for Corridor H between Parsons and Davis. Thomas resident and Tucker County native Rachelle Davis initiated the petition titled A Better Route for Corridor H. Davis said that she started the petition to make it...

Letter to the Editor

Editor,   Disclaimer: this document is not speaking for Davis’ Corridor H Committee. I reiterate my earlier position: DOH should be required to newly consider a Corridor H, northern alignment. Reasons: read on.   During a recent town council meeting attended by citizens of both Davis and Thomas, DOH representative...

Letter to the Editor: House Bill 3554

Letter to the Editor House Bill 3554, originating in the Committee on Economic Development and Tourism, has been introduced  to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, by adding thereto a new section designated as §8-12-5h; all relating to prohibiting a municipality or the governing body of any municipality from...

Letter to the Editor

Editor, New WV Bill Welcomed by Davis Property Rental Rights Group The WV House of Representatives Committee on Economic Development & Tourism introduced a bill limiting the ability of municipalities to regulate short term rental (STR). This bill arrives amidst controversy in Davis regarding its own announced restrictions on property...

Letter to the Editor: Older Adults Technology Services

Editor, According to a study by Older Adults Technology Services (OATS), 42% of older adults lack access to the internet, which often translates to less access to information regarding healthcare and community services, social connections and financial management resources. Additionally, a social survey conducted by WVU in 2020 found that...

Letter to the Editor: Bugs

Editor, Bugs. They’re the latest craze, they say. The greatest thing since Wonderbread, we’re told. Delicious and nutritious! Sustainable. Best of all, they’re eco-friendly, require far less farming land, and possess the carbon footprint of a jigger flea. All this from an obnoxious minority of self-appointed environmentalism minders. Any say...

Letter to the Editor: Senate Bill 429

Letter to the Editor: My name is Chris Davis.  I am a proud resident of Tucker County.    Over the years I have been able to help with coaching basketball, volunteering on the Parsons Parks and Recreation board, and also currently volunteering as the Tucker County Ambulance Authority Treasurer.  As...

Letter to the Editor: WV State Legislature

Dear Tucker County Citizens, As WV Senate Bill 429 makes its way through the WV State Legislature, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage the residents of Tucker County to contact their WV State Senators, and Delegates to encourage them to vote in favor of this bill.  While...

Letter to the Editor

Editor,   The U.S. Forest Service is on the brink of making the same mistake they did 50 years ago: clear-cutting the Mon. What they’ve forgotten is in 1973, citizen protests stopped them  as we are trying to do now. The U.S.F.S. plans on clear-cutting close to 3463 acres –...

Letter to the Editor: Things Have Changed

Let’s be clear: suggesting DOH should re-examine Corridor H going north is not the same as saying Corridor H should go north. These are completely different positions.   When the ROPA was put forth some 20 years ago, and northern routes were considered, DOH suggested the ROPA was the shortest...

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor, Parsons​​-area residents shared the true meaning of Christmas with children in need this past holiday season. Generosity throughout contributed to a successful shoebox gift collection season at drop-off locations for the Samaritan’s Purse project Operation Christmas Child. Across the U.S., the project collected over 9.3 million shoebox gifts in 2022....

Letter to the Editor

Editor,   It was a sad day for all of us in Tucker County when we recently lost our EMS Director and Assistant Director after many years of dedicated service!  The unfortunate reasons will remain unspoken at this time.   Rather, it is my pleasure to be able to offer...

Letter to the Editor: Davis and Thomas—Let’s Get Together

As Corridor H approaches, consider the many benefits of Davis and Thomas agreeing on what is best for both communities. Let us present a strong, collective message to the WV Division of Highways (DOH)–a combined agreement of both Davis and Thomas. The alternative: DOH decides for us: “Well, let’s see,...

Letter to the Editor

Editor,   The Spark Of Life.  There was a recent study, six years or so back, where researchers and scientists were floored by the discovery of a phenomena, inexplicable in its origin, that occurs in the womb at the moment of conception. A bioelectric flash emitting from the female egg...

Letter to the Editor

Editor,   “The squeaky wheel gets the grease,” or so they say. For context, refer to the January 4 and January 11, 2023, letters to the editor in The Parsons Advocate. You will find three letters opposing the current route of Corridor H between Parsons and Davis. After considering the...

Letter to the Editor

Editor,   It’s hard for me to grasp that our mountaintop will be filled with trucks … not only going east and west over or under Rte 32, but also traveling north and south along Rte 32, which will be turned into the “Truck Route.”  When DOH chose the ROPA...
