Letters to the Editor

A problem with overgrown trees

To the Editor, The City of Weirton has turned their back on this ongoing overgrowth. Driving up Cove Road, you just cannot miss all the weeds and trees overgrowing the road. Marland Heights Road is another sore eye with limbs overgrowing the street lights and going up the hill. It’s getting so hard to see. The worst area by far is Route2 going to New Cumberland with actual trees falling into the power lines at the exit from Rilley Road to Route 2. Trees have overgrown power lines all along this stretch of highway. Next time traveling out of Weirton heading towards KingsCreek look ...

Democrats ruling out of hate and thirst for power

To the Editor, Do you want Big Government running your life? Since the Democrats won the Presidency in 2020, through a most controversial election, they now have a majority in the House and Senate. Every decision made is about controlling our lives. In other words, Socialism. Remember when Chuck Schumer said, “If we win this election we will fundamentally change America.” This Socialistic plan or “New World Order” has been in the works for years. Donald Trump just interrupted it for four years. That’s where the hate began. Now Congress, with their puppet, Joe Biden, is ...

There is still hope

To the Editor, In one’s last hour, just before one’s last breath, surrounded by family, no matter what can be said, remember these equalizing words. “The poet with his pen, the peasant with his plow, it makes no difference who you are. It’s all the same somehow.” By Edward Heyman’s “The Bluebird of Happiness.” There is hope, more than just a fantasy. It’s called creation. A theory that produces a spiritual link to a supreme being that promises everlasting life. Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you.” Behave yourself. Trust in Jesus and live the ...

Let us seniors help

To the Editor, Some seniors would like to go back to work, but some schooling is needed for seniors. Being an ex-machinist, I would love to get back into the workforce, into a CNC area, but need training and would love to get into the workforce again if the younger generation refuses to go back to work. Hours of work may need to be changed but that would be a small gap to change easily. Seniors with money offered today I believe would be of great help, but looking around our area there is no training or help getting back into a position. We have plenty of room for schooling in the ...

The importance of a mother

To the Editor, Quoting Cardinal Joseph Mindszenty The most important person on earth is a mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built the Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not to. She has built something more magnificent than any Cathedral. A dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body. The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God’s s creative miracle to bring new saints to heaven. Only a human mother can. Mother’s are close to God the Creator than all other creatures. God joins forces with mother’s in performing ...

Exemptions are acceptable

To the Editor, To prevent further spread of the coronavirus, we should require everyone to get fully vaccinated, including a possible third dose - unless exempted by a sincerely held religious belief or medical condition. We should write to our legislators and executives at all levels of government. Alvin Blake Weirton
