A helpless cat Dear Editor, Sometime between Tuesday evening, March 5, and Wednesday morning, March 6, a crime was committed in the Warren City Parking Garage. Oh, it wasn’t the kind of crime that gets splashed all over the evening news or makes nationwide headlines. Not the kind of crime that calls for high security, a constant police presence, or anything quite so exciting. But it was a crime all the same. A low profile, no police required, crime against a little young cat that was no doubt dumped in the hopes that some kind soul would give him a fur-ever home and a family ...

Danger in ‘power’ Dear Editor, I am a believer in Jesus. I study the Bible. Jesus taught about love, compassion, and forgiveness. Does this statement reflect those teachings? “The national government will maintain and defend the foundations on which the power of our nation rests. It will offer strong protection to Christianity as the very basis of our collective morality. Today Christians stand at the head of our country. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit. We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, ...

Another gospel Dear Editor, I concur with the letter in the Feb. 10 edition. However, I am one who does not put much faith in polls, because they are not dependable and sometimes far from accurate. We rest our faith in the Holy Scriptures, and the Scriptures alone. He’s absolutely correct, a vast number of churches are endorsing sin in favor of an act of love. In just one more day after this newspaper edition, whoever watched the Super Bowl would be treated to the “He Gets Us” commercial, which is a perverted gospel that is vastly different from the Gospel of Christ. This, ...

Groundhog, Election Day Dear Editor, In February, we remember Abraham Lincoln and George Washington for excellent service to the U.S. as Presidents. They were known for their honesty and good leadership ability. It is unlikely the current or previous president will be remembered as Honest Joe or Honest Don — or cause kids to miss a day of school for a national Holiday. Phil, the groundhog, somehow inspired a movie about repeating a bad dream. It seems there is a good chance we will see a repeat of the same two unsuitable candidates in the upcoming Presidential election. A ...

Outrageous fee Dear Editor, I recently bought a house and have been preparing a move across town from my present apartment. I parked my moving van on Market Street overnight. Bad idea. I woke up to a parking ticket. Looked up the codes and found I was in violation. But I digress, that is not my point. When trying to pay online, I found for the $15 ticket a $3 “credit card processing fee.” There’s a big problem: 3/15 is 20%. Anyone charging 20% to process credit card transactions? I run a business. The typical processing fee is 25 cents + 4% or so. That amounts to 90 ...

Global effort Dear Editor, I am writing to thank Warren County residents for sharing the true meaning of Christmas with children around the world. In 2023, churches, groups, businesses, families and individuals in Warren, Crawford and Erie counties donated 17,725 gift-filled shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, a project of international Christian relief organization Samaritan’s Purse. Over 2240 were sent from Warren County folk, contributing to a total of 40,125 shoebox gifts sent from Northwestern Pennsylvania. Shoeboxes from Warren, Crawford and Erie counties were sent to ...
