Letter to the Editor

To the editor: Recently there was a question as to why people are moving out — well, I think the current wages and a generation gap is part of the problem. The wages are between $9 and $13 an hour, give or take.   Anyone that is a single female or male without kids can’t live on those wages or even...
To the Editor:   Tonight (Wednesday, April 12) I tried to speak during Mr. Brad LaCroix’s superintendent report. The Weston County School District No. 1 Board was speaking about the four-day school week, and how that would affect the concurrent classes for those students trying to gain their...
To the Editor:    Boy, am I getting tired of this ongoing turf battle/splitting contest between the city, county and sheriff’s office on the dispatch issue.    It seems like there needs to be much more honestly/openness/transparency and adult behavior from all parties involved in the squabble. I...
To the Editor:    “Not too happy with the News Letter Journal,” he said. “They’re suing me.”    What my fellow snowbird was lamenting last week is the same thing that worries me: any time a newspaper sues a government entity, that “we the people” are being sued.    And yes, it is true that the...
As a resident of Newcastle, I am disappointed with the plan to kill our city deer. I love Newcastle. I love my family, friends, and neighbors here in Newcastle. I love that I live in a state and a community where I can still trust our leadership. I know that in Newcastle, I am still a free American...
I have never found your “Gwamma” cartoon to be humorous at all but in your January 19th I found it to be offensive, disrespectful and down right terrible. I can’t believe you would publish such an unpatriotic cartoon. You owe your readers and your country an apology. I hope I never see such garbage...
To the Editor: On Tuesday, county elected officials were sworn in to their positions. Three new county commissioners were among the ranks, chosen from a packed field of eight candidates on the ballot and one write-in. People obviously wanted change. What we got, however, was more of the same. The...
The history class I want to take   In Morgan Robertson’s fictional novel “Futility,” a fascinating story unfolds of an indomitable ocean liner called the “Titan,” which strikes an uncanny parallel to another famous vessel by a similar name.  Robertson’s tale describes his Titan as the biggest, most...
To the Editor: In my Halloween excitement I forgot to mention even more Halloween festivities that were offered in Newcastle! Mondell Heights offered their first Annual Spooktacular Halloween for trick-or-treaters to come on up and enjoy the cupcakes, goodies and trick-or-treat with the residents....
To the Editor: Good morning, I am an outsider, which means I have no axe to grind. After reading two articles in the News Letter Journal, I am writing my first letter to the editor.  Smart people in the past thought it was a good idea to have a joint dispatch center to save money and help with the...
