There have always been conmen. As in Ecclesiastes, “Nothing is new under the sun.” Thus, one might think the American people would have learned to spot and resist conmen’s schemes. Yet, conmen continue to fool us.
This is written with regard to the recent article and photo submitted by Jill Colvin of the Associated Press. The one with the fist in the air.
I'm responding to Mr. Myers' Nov. 21 News-Review letter about recalling sheriffs who ignore Measure 114's "new & improved" gun law. I lit a cigar over the endless supply of material fueling his overheated keyboard about shootings that are so hideous yet another gun law is needed to elimi…
This is an open letter to United States Senator Ron Wyden:
Winston TOPS group OR 1196 held a gift basket and doily art fundraiser at Sherm's Thunderbird Market in Roseburg on Veterans Day. The group decided to donate 25% of its proceeds from the sale to the family of the 12-year-old Winston boy who was injured in the Sept. 14 bicycle accident.
State law enforcement must enforce Measure 114
The Murphy family would like to thank the following for their unselfish and gracious support in regards to the recent passing of our mother Katherine "Kitty" Murphy. This includes St. Francis Altar Society, Gail Francis, Douglas County Hospice care nurses, Oak Park at Avamere staff and the c…
I applaud the vision of The News-Review for real time front page coverage of Glide Fire BBQ and Craft Fair (Oct. 16) and Fall Craft Fair (Nov. 6). Surely exposure to the most beautiful creative minds of our community will result in prosperity for us all.
The Stearns Family has been and still is very grateful for your thoughts, prayers and continuous support for Bill Stearns.
All people who work ought to be able to prosper
Thank you to The News-Review for great coverage of the Lions vision screening. However, I didn't give enough credit to the Lions in the areas where the schools are located. The Elkton Lions are very helpful in helping screen students at Elkton, Drain and Yoncalla. The Sutherlin Lions are als…
By getting us back on the “straight and narrow,” do we mean as Jesus taught?
In 2015, Russia was using social media with the goal of people losing confidence in U S elections. They crafted social media posts targeted at both Democrats and Republicans. The aim was to create divisiveness and extremism. During his career in the Russian intelligent service, Putin special…
I completely support Dennis Olds’ position, regarding the mistake made on the recent property tax statements, in his letter that appeared in the Nov. 3 edition.
This letter is in regard to the article in The News-Review on Nov. 2 regarding a virtual meeting of the Oregon Mayors Association to discuss the homeless crisis: Funding stream sought for fighting homelessness.
While the 2020 election results really strained credulity, the 2022 results that are being foisted on the electorate are so far beyond the pale as to be totally unbelievable, for all but the most gullible.
Veterans are not receiving ‘soonest and best’ care
Elections are over, time to restore the public’s trust
On Dec. 26, 1985, David Lewis Rice was arrested for the Christmas Eve murders of Charles Goldmark, his wife Annie and their two sons, Derek, 12, and Colin, 10. Rice, an unemployed drifter, was obeying the urgent voices in his head, which told him that Goldmark must be killed out of patriotic…
Trump’s claims that the election was stolen didn’t start on Nov. 3, 2020. For months before, Trump was saying the election was rigged and that it would be the only way he could lose.
Some headlines you may not see on your nightly news:
I can’t for the life of me understand how the Douglas County Tax Assessors Office could make such a huge mistake sending (wrong and inflated) property tax bills out in error. And also why The News-Review didn’t make a bigger deal of it. Printing Error — really? Where is management oversight?
Each year, our nation sets aside Veterans Day to remember all the men and women who have defended our liberty through their honorable military service. American cities big and small celebrate with ceremonies across the nation to honor their service and their sacrifice.
The Winchester Dam has been around for decades and during this time upgrades have been done along with maintenance and repair. With the past upgrades to the ladder fish, passage has been improved and has provided adequate passage for our various fish species. With that being said, does curre…
All is well at the Douglas County Clerk and Election's office.
I read the front page article in the Oct. 18 edition of The News-Review: "The pros and cons of Ballot Measure 114." It piqued my interest so I decided to read the full text of the ballot measure along with 'Arguments in Favor and in Opposition' which can be found in the Oregon General Electi…
We can't afford to be fooled by a Trojan Horse. Betsy Johnson is NOT an alternative progressive candidate for governor. She is a pawn of Phil Knight put on the ballot to draw votes from the true progressive Tina Kotek. Knight used her to blur the clear choices that would have been available …
We have arrived at a moment in the history of this nation where traditional political parties serve little purpose other than representing money interests, radical ideology, political office power, governmental employment benefits and a home for radical elements of the political spectrum.
In explaining the errors in everyone's property tax bills, the county clerk placed the blame on "Printing Error" which was echoed by the NR. I disagree and my opinion follows.
Measure 114 has many provisions that destroy our Second Amendment Rights. It creates an unprecedented, dangerous bureaucratic state system designed to impede and prevent law-abiding citizens from purchasing firearms.
The complete dominance of Oregon politics by Democrats has made Oregon:
Salmon hatcheries have existed in Oregon since the late 1800s. They have never lived up to their promise, yet we have become addicted to them.
Our founding fathers trusted God and established our Democratic Republic using their God-given wisdom. Over the past 80 years, many self-serving American citizens and politicians have been progressively and incrementally destroying the foundations of our great nation. The driving force has n…
