Staying close to home Dear Editor, When I was growing up in Sheffield during the ’50s and ’60s there were two grade (elementary) schools, one on each side of town — Lincoln and Washington. Most of us walked to school and were familiar with the neighborhoods and its residents. If I got in trouble at school, I also got in trouble at home. There was always good-natured banter between the schools as to which had the prettiest girls, the toughest guys and the best athletes. When I was in the fifth grade, part-way through the year 1962-63, both schools were closed, and the ...

Nation a ‘fiasco’ Dear Editor, It’s time for Socialist Dems to shed the scales on their eyes in order to see the reality of the President Joe Biden administration. They thought they were getting a unifier; how mistaken they were in what the election produced. He wants to “finish the job.” That sounds like a threat—not something positive in my opinion. Do we as a nation have to endure more of this fiasco after 2024? I certainly hope not. Looking at the country now, we have: ¯ Open borders with chaos and corruption running rampant. ¯ Inflation. ¯ Energy ...

Caring ways Dear Editor, This is a public “thank you” to the Warren Manor Skilled Nursing and Rehab Center, to the doctor, nurses, aides, therapist, cleaners, maintenance, office, and kitchen staff. I know that health care facilities get bad comments. I’ve made them myself and yes I heard a number of times, “Get me out of here, I hate this place.” My dear husband was one of them. It can be excused; many are there for long periods of time. My husband has been in the hospital and rehab for over five months. It has not been easy for either of us. And he still has a ...

How long can this nation withstand evil forces? Dear Editor, Since the founding of our nation there have been many, many changes. Miraculously by the Lord’s timing of my entrance (birth) into this world I have seen, experienced and been blessed by many of these changes. I have also seen the opposite side of the coin so to speak with some changes not so good. I do believe we all see both side of the preverbal coin in our lives. The question is, “what do we do or how do we handle these changes, do we address them or ignore them.” As we entered the 21st century there has been a ...

Fitting the bill Dear Editor, Seven symptoms of a sociopath according to Google’s WEB MD are: ¯ Ignoring right and wrong ¯ Telling lies to get the advantage ¯ Not being sensitive to or respectful of others ¯ Using charm or wit to manipulate others for personal gain or pleasure ¯ Being unable to admit mistakes or quilt ¯ Having a sense of superiority and being extremely opinionated ¯ Having trouble with the law, including criminal behavior Trump’s base cares not, the Fox News misled party faithful remain party loyal and the party office holders fearful of ...

‘Embarrassing’ behavior Dear Editor, Our city bulldozed through the process of hiring a city manager and pushed through a lease without notifying impacted businesses. We ignore our public when they disagree and speak up at meetings — over and over again. Emails from Bent Run and Allegheny Outfitters have been ignored. Our city’s strategy seems to be, ignore it and keep moving forward. And it works, until it doesn’t. In the Times Observer article (Feb. 22) “Council moves ahead on staging lease amid opposition, questions” John Wortman referenced fiduciary ...
