Utility bills, gasoline prices, and Ukraine

Ron Martin4 years ago3 mins

Dear Editor, Most of us simply want peace in our lives, nation, and world. We enjoy resting in a warm or cool house with something to eat, free from worry and stress. Peace is not always easy. This winter, chances are that your heating bill was chomping on your checking account and taking a huge bite out of your income. You may have turned your thermostat down and wore extra layers hoping to cut back on literally burning up your money. People have reported gas and electric bills from $500 to over a $1,000 for one month of trying to…

Ukrainian and American pain: We must unplug from Russia and China

Pam Wanner4 years ago3 mins

Dear Editor, America is no longer buying energy or vodka from Russia. Russians can no longer buy a McDonald’s hamburger. They can’t pay for their gasoline with a Visa, Mastercard, or even an American Express card. One thousand Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants have ceased operations in Russia. How tough can life become? For a better picture of a tough life, watch some of the news clips played daily on most television stations. See what the Russians are doing each day to Ukraine. Hospitals are bombed. Babies are murdered. Cities no longer exist. Tens of thousands have been killed by the Russian…

Is Vladimir Putin the Devil?

Pam Wanner4 years ago3 mins

Dear Editor, There is nothing good to be said about the Devil. If you don’t believe me, check out the Bible. Or just turn on the television for a reporting of the evil he spreads throughout the world. You will likely see his picture: Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia. Some people say they don’t believe in the existence of the Devil. I do; his name is Vladimir Putin. Look at the face of Putin. You will see the Devil. Look at his dark eerie eyes and his pointed ears. When he attempts to smile, you’ll notice his tongue rolls out…

You can at least say howdy

Pam Wanner4 years ago3 mins

Dear Editor, “Howdy” was a common everyday word where I grew up. Raised on old Stidham, now known as Milo Road in rural Appalachia, I spent a lot of time at my Grandpa and Grandma Hinkle’s store. People came and went buying gasoline, sandwich meat, snacks, or groceries for the week. There were cane bottom chairs in the store and often people would sit and chat for a while. Regardless of how many times during the week I walked down the road to that store, the opening salutation was typically “howdy.” People were in and out of the Hinkle store…
