Drawing the lines Dear Editor, This is in regard to Main Avenue heading to Pleasant Township. I called PennDOT last year about re-painting the lines and/or arrows on Main Avenue, the part that is over the tracks and on the highway and bridge. The lines have never been re-painted — they are fading and can barely be seen in the daytime, but especially at night. If there is fog, the lines are not visible. I hope the good people who are to take care of Main Avenue can get this done before winter. Thank you for your assistance. Mary Leo, Pleasant Township

Lost U.S. ‘integrity’

Dear Editor, It is extremely discouraging to see our beloved country being torn apart and demoralized by the government that was sworn by law to protect us. We have an administration that continually lies about everything that is done. The lies from the media and government have been focused on Donald Trump for years and are still continuing. We have a President of the United States who spends more time outside of Washington than anyone in 20 years and can’t handle the problems confronting the nation. Is this what a career politician is, someone who has lost touch with ...

Why history matters

Dear Editor, My friend, Jimmy D, is an emotional guy. His wife is from Czechoslovakia. Her family had personal experience with German and Russian atrocities in World War II. No surprise they visited Auschwitz on a European trip. Some 1.1 million people died there. They weren’t alone. The museum draws many visitors, including students from Germany. Jimmy, of course, struck up a conversation. The students told him study of the Holocaust and German atrocities in World War II is mandatory. Every German student must visit either a concentration camp memorial site or a Holocaust ...

Unhealthy debate

Dear Editor, The Warren Times Observer carried a front page story about “Dr.” Oz “taking on a sharper tone” in attacking the health of John Fetterman (Aug. 24). Since when is attacking anyone’s health considered proper in a political campaign, or any other time for that matter? A serious candidate for office can find plenty of other things to talk about — their own previous experience and professional successes in contrast the the experience and professional achievement of the opponent. Comments on health should be out of bounds, but were made acceptable when the ...

Overreach continues

Dear Editor, Considering the narratives around the polar opposite views of the 2020 election and with the 2022 midterms in view I have come to a rather disheartening conclusion. If the election was indeed stolen, then the Democrats won a coup, and we are now experiencing the end of Constitutional freedoms and suppression of political dissent and opposition. Or, if the Democrats legitimately won, we are now experiencing the end of Constitutional freedoms and suppression of political dissent and opposition. So that argument is now truly moot. I would like to hold out a shred of hope ...

Scary lessons Dear Editor, Many thanks to Josh Cotton for his timely article on the 77th anniversary of the atomic booming of Hiroshima. It was chilling to read that some considered the bomb to be one of the greatest scientific advances in history. Seventy-seven years later we live under the threat of nuclear annihilation. It is estimated that the nine nuclear nations have a combined 13,000 nuclear warheads in their arsenals. Experts agree that the only reason we haven’t experienced a nuclear explosion is luck. Luck can change. We the people need a grassroots groundswell of ...
