Editor, Far from light pollution, West Virginia's state parks and forests offer some of the best stargazing spots on the east coast. If you look at a light pollution map of the US, West Virginia is dark! In 2021, Watoga State Park, Calvin Price State Forest and Droop Mountain Battlefield...
Dear Editor: My heart did a flip-flop when I saw a picture of the building that was the first to be torn down. When we moved to Parsons, it was the first place we lived in while we were building our house. It was a lovely apartment, large living room...
Editor, They’re doing it again. Dinosaur mainstream media, working in perfect synchronized lockstep with world governments, are drumming up fear and hysteria over the new Pirola Covid variant. And of course, you know what that means. It means the return of lock downs, the return of mask mandates, the...
Editor, Greetings fellow residents of Davis. As I continue to learn about local government it is apparent to me that governing is a team sport. Whatever the project, when the community gets involved, the outcome only gets better. Our draft zoning ordinance is a perfect example. Today’s version, after four...
Letter to the Editor I am very offended by the Pride Sign along the road in Canaan Valley. It is about time individuals keep their opinions and beliefs to themselves. We have a lot of visitors and tourists who come to West Virginia for vacation to get away from the...
“Virtues, when taken too far, become vices.” Can’t remember where I heard this. Aristotle maybe? Or YouTube perhaps, where some 50 plus year old dating coach is coping with their own past failed relationships in the form of dispensing “advice”. Not really sure, to be honest. Regardless, wherever it came...
Editor, On June 15th, 2023 an employee of TC EMS was given permission from the Interim EMS Director to use the State Highway fuel fob to access and obtain fuel to put into their personal vehicle which had been used excessively that day in support of TC EMS business functions. ...

I am writing this letter to let you and the people of Tucker Co know what I observed on the evening of 15th of June and about the conversation that I had with an EMS employee on the morning of the 16th. My name is Harry Hardy and I live...

Spessert and Christine A. Spessert, Licking District, 1.60 acres to Todd Wayne Spessert, $0. Sarah Kelley, Parsons...
Editor, Recently, there has been a lot of discussion within our local communities regarding a can of Bud Light that was produced for a social media influencer. We want to provide some clarification to our local business partners and friends as there is currently an abundance of unclear and false...
Editor, To the Tucker County youth, whether you’re grade school, middle, or high school, may this message find you and find you well. Especially now with Prom just around the corner for a lot of you. Chemical warfare is being waged on us in the form of fentanyl, and you...
Dear fellow Citizens of Tucker County. I would like to take the time to let you know the state of EMS funding in Tucker County. Prior to the beginning of this current Fiscal Year, Tucker County had an EMS Fee of $50.00. This fee allowed Tucker County EMS to replace...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
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...
Short-term Rentals and House Bill 3554 There has been and continues to be much discussion about short-term rentals (STR). Some people like to say how good STRs are for town. I say that is nothing but misstatement, and in some cases, lies. It is all about money. Most short-term rental...
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...
