How we respond to these challenges will not only determine the future, not only of this nation, but the world as a whole. A major factor in determining the direction of this nation and what its worldwide influence will be; “if people examine political policies based on their religious faith, or is their religious faith influenced by their political views” …?

Excellent leadership Dear Editor, Jan. 26 marked the final day of the tenure of Kim Holt as the executive director of Family Services of Warren County. She has led our agency since August 2019.

It does speak volumes. “Like many citizens, I’ve wondered and tried hard to understand why Donald Trump has such a remarkable following. (It’s obvious why he probably should not!) Then a friend sent me this raccoon story. It makes no difference about your political leanings, this is just a good explanation of WHY... (or it’s as good as any I can come up with). “If you really want to know how the majority of people feel? This applies to both Democrats and Republicans; ...

Grateful for police Dear Editor, The beginning of each new year brings something exciting for every person — whether it’s a life milestone such as a wedding or maybe a relaxing vacation.

National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day is held each year on Jan. 9, and was created as a way for the community to show their gratitude to all law enforcement officers across the country. Dozens of officers give their lives in the line of duty each year, making law enforcement ...
