Letters to the Editor

Reader thankful for efforts of editorial staff members

To the editor: I would like to commend the staff of the Salem News and Morning Journal for their outstanding coverage of area high school graduations. Recent issues of the newspapers have been filled with photographs of these special ceremonies. Not just a picture or two, but whole pages devoted to our area senior students. Graduations usually happen on weekends and many at the same time. The willingness of our local newspapers to cover them so completely and thoughtfully is one of the reasons that you “just gotta love local newspapers.” How the staff is able to cover these ...

Honor our flag and its meaning

To the editor: It’s a privilege to honor our flag, our men and women in uniform and those who have fallen for our country and our way of life. On Memorial Day we need to remember and honor our vets who were wounded or gave their lives while fighting under the Stars and Stripes to preserve our freedom. On My 30 we need to keep in our hearts and give thanks to all the men and women who made it possible for us to live and worship as free people. American disrespecting the flag, through acts of arrogant protesting for causes going against our principles and our flag, do not represent ...

East Liverpool needs a ‘house cleaning’

To the editor: To my East Liverpool friends and classmates: whenever we are going to have company, as our mothers taught us, we need to clean our house to get ready. Lou Holtz is probably the most famous of our visitors and on May 21, 2022, a bronze bust of him was unveiled at the East Liverpool High School, along with a barbeque dinner in the cafeteria. Five were inducted into the Hall of Fame: Hans Dietz, Robert Herrington, Dru Joyce, Mike Turk and Bob Duffy. It would be nice if we could house clean our little pottery town. Maybe some high school students could clean the Broadway ...

Thankful for service provided by Rep. Johnson’s office

To the editor: Thank you to Representative Bill Johnson and Maria Bova from his office for all of their help in securing military records from WWII for our father, Robert Miller. Rep. Johnson’s office was instrumental in obtaining files we were told may have been lost in a fire in 1976. We now have a great story to share with our family. We are so grateful for the help and compassion we received from their office. Ron and Debbie Miller, Salem

You can help support CC Humane Society

To the editor: After having recently joined the volunteers at the Columbiana County Humane Society, I wanted to write a short summary of what the agency is doing. Each and every day, they care for dogs, cats and a menagerie of other animals at their small home along state Route 45, south of Salem, next to the Circle K. The building is the former business home of Dr. Thomas Liggett, longtime area veterinarian. While the building lends itself somewhat to animal care, it is quite small for its current needs. Board members, employees and volunteers talk and dream about being able to ...
