To the Editor: The Lord has instructed me to pray then vote. I am not moved by opinions of others not even my own opinion. We could entirely miss God’s plan for this nation during this time of turmoil and division among we the people due to much misinformation presented...
Editor, Captain, the Ship is Sinking! I feel like a blue fish in a red sea, but I urge you to help me elect a new president. The latest reason is Mr. Trump’s insistence that to have a fair election, “We have to get rid of the ballots. Then there...
Dear Editor, It is very important we all get registered to vote if we are not already registered. Being a citizen of the United States gives us the privilege to vote for righteous officials that support our Constitution. As you know, our forefathers formed the Constitution according to the Bible....
Editor, This is in support to Dave Ruediger's letter regarding "Democrats Hated Christians and President Trump." What we hear and read in the next six plus weeks must be taken with "A Grain of Salt." This saying means that what we see, hear, read and have repeated to us must...
Editor, Reading through posts by teachers, parents and care givers. What a tumultuous, frustrating and troubling time we live in. The problem is compounded due to a lack of leadership from the top down. This pandemic has been, and continues to be, a perfect opportunity to revolutionize our educational system....
Editor, I recently saw a post on Facebook that stated, “Democrats hated Christians long before Trump came along”. I am neither Republican, nor Democrat. I have, in the past, been a member of both parties, and I share convictions of both, but more than that, I disagree with parts of...
Though in my heart I have long felt the convictions behind this letter, I was not, until this morning, going to share my thoughts publicly. I am not one to brandish my religion or patriotism. But, today, after watching the two political conventions and witnessing the last four years of...
Dear Editor, Knowledge is power. My purpose is to impart knowledge and truth. Isn't that why we hold court, to get the truth of the situation? For those who read the Bible, Pilate asked Jesus, "What is the truth?" The Son of God replied, "I am the way, the truth,...
As a Veteran, and West Point graduate, I am encouraged by every citizen who celebrated our Nation’s independence on the fourth of July. Now we need to continue that patriotic spirit by registering to vote. Voting to elect our government is one of the most fundamental, patriotic duties of every...
Editor Since the northern-most trailhead of the Allegheny Highlands Trail is in Parsons, the town is well on its way to becoming an even more bike-able community. As a cyclist, it is your responsibility to ride safely and considerately, and as a driver, it is your responsibility to share the...
During times of stress many of us turn to nature to find peace. Maybe it’s taking a walk to clear our mind in a town park, or finding tranquility on a wild river. A hike along a trail surrounded by spring wildflowers brings hope for a brighter future. Many of...
Dear Editor, Senator Capito is up for re-nomination in this year’s primary. This letter is for the republicans who may not actually know how Senator Capito stands on some major issues. There are a couple things that she isn’t exactly conservative on and it’s a big deal for many of...
Dear Editor, For those who are familiar with the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), you perhaps know that as an organization we honor our American heroes on a regular basis. At a recent meeting, The Blackwater Chapter decided to honor our local heroes who are helping us through this...
Editor, Our family has watched with horror as racist acts against Asian Americans, some violent (including a knife attack in Texas seriously injuring several small children), have increased dramatically. While our President initially insisted on calling the coronavirus the “Chinese virus,” this has since changed and, to his credit, he...
Editor, This letter is an appeal related to the current COVID-19 pandemic as it affects Tucker County. I have a home and other property in Davis and have discussed this matter with quite a few full time residents, as well as property owners and property managers. My conclusion was that,...
Like most people I am concerned about the health and well-being of my family (two and four legged) and my friends. As a Veterinarian I must be concerned for my clients and their pets. News, social media and television programs are filled with stories and impressions of COVID-19. The danger...
Dear Editor, I recently read the article about the music therapist at Cortland Acres singing West Virginia's un-official anthem, "Country Roads", with the residents. My great-grand daughter lives in Nashville, TN but loves to sing me that song through video. I used to be a volunteer (and resident) at Cortland...
Editor, Residents of Parsons shared the true meaning of Christmas with children in need this past holiday season. Because of the generosity of donors in Parsons and surrounding cities, Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, collected more than 9,500 shoebox gifts at drop-off locations serving the Morgantown WV...
Dear Editor, As residents of Tucker County, we have a sincere appreciation for the great outdoors and enjoy getting out and exploring nature's playground. Luckily, we have an abundance of options in our state. West Virginia boasts 8 incredible national park sites perfect for hiking, biking, camping, fishing, and more....
Dear Tucker County business owner/Community Partners/Residents, North Central West Virginia Community Action is conducting a community needs assessment to gather information about local needs, and you have been identified as someone who can speak to current local needs within your community. We would like to have your input about your...
