Letter to the Editor
To the Editor:
Doug Jorrey’s letter last week (Oct. 6) should inspire all of us to stand up to the foolishness that has gripped our county. I have been a resident and voted in Weston County my entire life, including absentee during my secondary education and military service.
I guess I’m an old...
To the Editor:
I want to thank you for your excellent coverage of local issues. There are other local folks that could use some community support as well.
We need to notice when people do a good job, and perhaps say thanks. For instance, Weston County Senior Services employees and volunteers daily...
To the Editor:
Before I discuss aggressive poll watching by the Weston County Republican Party, let me first establish my bona fides. For my entire adult life, I have been a registered Republican. For a significant part of that time, I had to vote by absentee ballot because of my military service....
To the Editor:
School shootings, mall shootings and other mass shootings generate a large volume of publicity and sorrow, but the numbers are relatively small compared to drug deaths.

To the Editor:
I attended the Newcastle City Council meeting last eve, Sept. 6. The chicken ordinance was discussed a bit with input from the very few folks in attendance who were pro-chicken.
I very strongly suggest if you are in favor of backyard chickens that you go to the city office and ask...
To the Editor:
Liz Cheney calls the Republicans sick. Has she opened her blinders long enough to look at the Democrat leadership? I have always liked Dick and Liz, but she seems to have jumped the traces now.
I am not a strong fan of Trump but the Jan. 6 issue is small potatoes compared to the...
To the Editor:
I am writing this on the Saturday before the primary election
on Tuesday.
Win or lose, I wanted to thank the voters of Senate District 1 for their support and help through the years. I truly did (do) the best I can to represent their views and wishes. It is a tough job making many...
It is time to replace them
To the Editor:
It is time to recall how you felt when you learned your Weston County Commissioners and the county clerk had held a secret vote to replace Hans Hunt. (Was that the only secret vote they
had held?)
The reason for the secret vote was the commissioners...
Make your vote count
To the Editor:
What is a free lunch? A concept that considers half of the equation. It may indeed be free to the recipient; however, it is certainly not free to the provider. Who benefits from a free lunch? A starving person, certainly; an obese person, not so much.
What is a...
