Grateful for our doctors

To the Editor, In recent weeks, I experienced several severe and profuse nosebleeds that required multiple trips to the emergency room. After being told by several ENT offices that it would take three weeks to get an appointment, I was fortunate to be referred to Dr. Jeffrey Banyas at Weirton Medical. From the very first phone call, Dr. Banyas’s office staff was exceptionally helpful, kind, and accommodating. They were able to schedule me within just two hours of my call — something almost unheard of these days. Dr. Banyas himself was personable, understanding, and demonstrated ...

These claims might make ...

Regarding the Urban Mission

To the Editor, Surely, the Urban Mission was aware in advance of the lack of funds it needed to continue to keep the shelters open. Somebody, anybody and nobody. There was an important job to be done. Everybody was sure somebody would do it. Anybody could do it and nobody did. The bottom line is that everybody blamed somebody when nobody did what anybody could have. Well, somebody get busy. Open the church basement — take the beds from the shelter and Martha Manor and set them up in the basement. Memory serves there’s a kitchen there. You have that box truck — use it to move ...
