Encountering Kindness on Trails

Editor, News-Register: My daughter and I planned a biking trip from Coraopolis, Pa., to Weirton through the Montour and Panhandle trails. The ride was fabulous — we passed by streams, small towns and beautiful nature. When we pulled into Weirton, it was already getting dark. While trying to figure out how we would bike safely from the trailhead to our hotel, we met a human angel. Sheila, a lovely life-long resident of Weirton and schoolteacher, who saved us by getting us a ride from the trail up to our lodging. Her neighbor, Dave, was our chariot of safety, transporting us.

Some Words We Should Live By

Editor, News-Register: Born in 1935, father dies in 1941. Five brothers fought in World War II, all made it back home. Fear of death for a loved one, not understanding the time will come when pain’s too great for everyone to negotiate one’s heavenly fate. Never fear, Jesus is near. If not, things will get hot.

Editor, News-Register: I am writing this on the 16th anniversary of my admission to Trinty West ER where my recovery was deemed a miracle facilitated by Dr. Edgar Sanchez, MD in cardiovascular & pulmonary medicine … and other medical professionals at Trinity.

The instrumental evidence only reaches back as far as 1850 at best, and most records are limited to certain regions. The fact is that over the past 60 ...

Vaccinating Life’s Inconveniences

Editor, News-Register: Remember four years ago, when doctors and scientists ignored natural immunity and couldn’t be in the media enough wearing masks and highly touting the just invented and conveniently profitable pharmacuticals were the only answer to every single life inconvenience? And the current president mandated them, and the bloodbath continued. Chris Cuomo is now taking the long established ivermectin and so many doctors who pontificated that the injectables were safe and effective suddenly have gone into retirement. With a very busy hurricane season rapidly approaching, ...

Some Thoughts for Donald Trump

Editor, News-Register: No, Donald, Judge Merchan is not corrupt, he is meticulous and honest. But you wouldn’t know how to recognize honesty. No, Donald, the trial wasn’t rigged. It followed prescribed procedures for giving attention to actual facts and the real requirements of the law. But you wouldn’t know true facts since you spread thick and widespread lies to cover up your felonies. No, Donald, this wasn’t political retribution, although that is what you keep promising if you ever set foot in the White House again. It was bringing you to legal ...
