Dear Editor:

They say pride begins in your own hometown, and among many we have to be proud of here in Pomeroy are the village workers. It is these hardworking men who come out in pouring rain and in water up to their waists to keep open our storm drains and sewers to try to provide the terrible damage and destruction that has been caused, especially in my area by flash flooding in the past. Thank you so very much.

These are also the men who come out on bitter cold winter days and nights to put salt and ashes down on the roads to keep them safe and open and to try and prevent accidents that could injure or even kill us.

So to our village workers I say, thank you, and may God bless you and your families always.

David Edwards
