Reader impressed with man’s integrity Dear Editor,
Each day we are bombarded with stories about people treating other people badly, but my story is just the opposite. Mason, W.Va. resident John T. Kearns, Jr. is someone who went out of his way to treat others well.
Last weekend, he found some of the contents of a wallet along the road, including cash, gift cards and a check with my name on it. These valuables had been blown out of an open convertible driving along the road. R...
Summer of 2012 should illustrate climate change reality Dear Editor,
This summer of 2012 should be sufficient evidence to persuade skeptics that climate change is a reality. Literally thousands of heat records were broken in our country alone.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration notes that the spring of 2012 “marked the largest temperature departure from average of any season on record for the contiguous United States.”
As Leonardo da Vinci observed, Nature doesn’t break her ...
Sen. Brown helped preserve military family’s heritage Dear Editor,
Dad would not talk about Korea. My wife’s dad did not talk about what he did in the Korean War. Like many solders that had seen the front line action, there are memories they would rather suppress for a lifetime. But unfortunately, he never talked about it. To our loss, he died, and we may not have ever known all he had done for his county.
My wife wanted to know more about her dad’s service in Korea, so his kids and grandkid...
Obama campaign attempts to block early military voting Dear Editor,
The Obama administration has targeted our state for allowing a time-honored tradition regarding the military vote. In a move that could have an impact on the final result of the presidential election, Barack Obama’s campaign has sued Ohio to block a measure which extends early voting for members of the military. The action brought quick responses from Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and as many as 15 military groups.
DeWine...
Reader responds to Rep. Bill Johnson’s article Dear Editor,
I would like to respond to an article that appeared in the Gallipolis Daily Tribune on July 24, 2012. The article was written by Rep. Bill Johnson called, “Empower, Don’t Punish, Job Creators.”
Mr. Johnson, you are very naive or else too dumb to see the truth when it is laying in front of you. You took President Obama’s message about job creation completely out of context. Listen to the whole message. You might fool some of y...
Car damage and vandalism — Why? Dear Editor,
This letter is in reference to an incident that happened in Pageville, Ohio.
A few weeks ago, some people went to my parked [vehicle] and took clubs and beat all my windows out, including the windshield, headlights and mirrors.
I don’t know [who] they were, but they know. I have never did anything to anybody to deserve this. I am 75 years old and on Social Security. My insurance won’t cover it, and it is costing over $1,000...
Reader says we must return to God’s ways Dear Editor,
Now that the Supreme Court has failed the American people, we must take our case to the court of the Most High — the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. Man will fail us but God will not if we confess our unworthiness and pray that He will give us leaders who rely on His Word. The Bible tells us in II Chronicles 7:14, “If my people who are called by my Name will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked...
Reader disappointed in Kasich’s handling of WCS Dear Editor:
For keeping quiet about a child molester, the NCAA fined Penn State $60 million, took away future scholarships, imposed a four-year bowl-game ban, and invalidated 112 wins. Those who knew about the child molester were fired and Joe Paterno’s statue was removed out of disgrace. Lawsuits will surely follow, and people will likely be prosecuted for child endangerment, criminal negligence, deception, cover-ups, etcetera.
Worthing...
Reader addresses officials of Ohio, Gallia County and BREC Dear Editor,
I am writing regarding the storm of June 29 and its aftermath. The fact that we had a disastrous storm on June 29 is no one’s fault. It is also no one’s fault that there were so many who lost power during this event. It is the lack of assistance to the community that I question. Our family was one of the fortunate ones, who had the resources to acquire ice, food and the other things we needed to survive the more than five and a...

Buildings detract from otherwise lovely town Dear Editor,
Recently I was in town for my 50th high school reunion and noticed many changes. Some, such as new schools, a larger hospital, the river museum, amphitheater, and art gallery showed that local folks cared for the area. Unfortunately, others did not.
A house badly in need of paint near the road in the English Court area and several houses in dire need of repair on Viand Street near the heart of town severely detract from the o...
Grandfather doesn’t appreciate Playboy story in newspaper Dear Editor,
In a day and age where we as a nation are concerned about the image that we convey regarding our young women; the Point Pleasant Register places on the front page of its newspaper a story concerning a graduate of Point Pleasant High School becoming a Playboy “Playmate of the Month.” From the tone of the story, this is something to be desired as it is quoted, ”Being a Playmate has always been a dream of mine.”
In order for a...
Visitor concerned about perceived lack of Likens’ support Dear Editor,
I am always amazed when I come home to visit and read the Register. Tuesday’s front page has articles on the American Queen visit, Sweatstock and Paul Doeffinger. I was privileged to see a wonderful last-minute concert performed by local talent Chase Likens! He is so talented and treats his fans so well, yet you never mentioned him or even included one picture. I thought maybe you may have saved it for Wednesday’s paper — still...
Suddenlink subscriber tired of paying to surf Dear Editor,
I’ve had Suddenlink expanded basic cable for several years. It was around $32 per month when I first started on expanded basic. Now after several yearly increases I pay $76.66. In May 2012, Suddenlink management decided to remove TV Guide Channel from its lineup. Now I have no idea what is on, what movies or what time they start. When I was paying my monthly cable bill, I asked why it was removed. I was told they had their own ...
Right to Life shares emotional note Dear Editor,
As many of you know, Right to Life had a fund drive with the Baby Bottles for Mother’s Day with 51 churches and one organization participating. This involves over a thousand Bottles. Abortion is usually kept quiet. Just because women smile doesn’t mean there is joy and peace in their hearts. Many women carry the scars all their lives. We received a note in one of the Bottles this year that we believe the writer would like for u...
