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...
Protect your right to own guns Dear Editor,
President Obama is about to begin to overturn your right to own guns.
His plan to do this through “Fast and Furious” backfired. He has one way left to overturn the Second Amendment—through adoption of a foreign treaty.
Many liberals believe a treaty is higher law than the U.S. Constitution though this is not the original intent of our founders. At least four U.S. Supreme Court judges believe this. So, the President is going...
Mason residents applaud Rutland festivities Dear Editor,
We live in Mason. We were invited to Rutland, Ohio, recently to enjoy their July 4 celebration. First let me say, the volunteer fire department really put on an excellent Fourth of July. I was amazed at how the firemen, EMS and their families all worked like a well-oiled clock. Rutland as we all know is a very small place, but they really outdid themselves. The fireworks were spectacular. Fire department, EMS and all who worked...
Reader pays tribute to Bob Robinson Dear Editor,
Many years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Bob and JoAnn Robinson through Dewey and Pauline Horton and saw how much they cared for them and the respect they had for each other. Bob did the eulogy for Carolyn Heines, my oldest sister. And he did a fine job.
Bob was a good and true Christian who loved God and Jesus with all his heart and soul. He is up there now with God and Jesus who he served so very well.
May God and Je...
What about the employees after the storm? Dear Editor,
I had some thoughts about the effects of that voracious storm our area had on Friday, June 29. So many lost electricity and water. There were precious few businesses operating where one could buy food or gas.
I am wondering about the employees who soldiered through the non-stop lines of people who needed supplies.
Those few businesses that were up and running had the monopoly on the market, so to speak — as no one else coul...
Jackson County resident disappointed with representation Dear Editor,
I thought maybe our State Representative Ryan Smith might read your paper and catch a glimpse of this, since I’ve called his office several times and received no response. What I wanted to ask him was why nowhere in the 93rd District during the aftermath of the June 29th storm that left most all of his district without power, was there not even one National Guard member in the area? I may be wrong, but I was under the impressio...
Holzer Health System says ‘Thank You’ Dear Editor,
Holzer Health System would like to officially say ‘Thank You’ to the overwhelming number of staff who assisted our health system in some way during the past storms. With the power outages across our service area, our dedicated health care workers have continued to provide top-quality services for our communities, both at our facilities, and in volunteer situations for their friends, family and loved ones.
Holzer has long prid...
