Perhaps there should be a job fair for the homeless
We have had a really incredible year! Incredibly fun.
Several people told me Don Wilson responded to my accusatory letter of Dec. 2. It took me some time to track down his reply (Dec. 17, The News-Review) and survive the Holidays. Here is my response to Mr. Wilson’s reply.
The tenants of the holidays to be continued into the new year:
This is a multiple part letter concerning America's endless political crises. Illegal immigrants who got into the U.S. should never have voting rights because they broke the law getting here in the first place. America doesn't owe law breaking migrants anything. The communist-loving Democrat…
Thanks to those who came to Roseburg to set up our vaccination tent. Friendly efficient service.
As I type this the medical community in Douglas County is ramping up quickly to respond to the omicron variant of COVID-19. Like many of you, we are tired of how disruptive this virus has been over the last two years. Just. Plain. Tired.
A new topic in Glide is whether or not to lease the Glide middle school property to a recently created nonprofit called Glide Revitalization for 99 years. The nonprofit currently leases building space from the district on a short term basis and pays no rent. The rent is supposedly paid in bu…
At my house, we will be skipping the China Winter Olympics that will be starting in a few days.
Community kitchen thrives because of public
About a year and a half ago I took up running. In this short time I have had numerous encounters with off leash dogs; in every instance the owner claims the dog is nice. Many have simply interrupted my workout. One ran under me causing me to trip and hurt my knee. That incident made me stop …
Of the 21 new laws listed in a report Jan. 1, 2022, in The Oregonian, 16 were approved by an overwhelming majority in both the state Senate and the state House of Representatives. The new laws address everything from public meetings law to affordable housing, racial equity to police reform a…
Reality is a thinking man's challenge. Bumper sticker on an electric vehicle parked at a Roseburg store the other day — "My car is powered by the sun!"
Eighteen years a widower. I remember the day I became one so clearly. Oct. 30, 2003, early in the evening. Everybody Loves Raymond was playing on our 13-inch television. Heart attack. Aneurysm. Stroke. No one knows for sure.
What’s our future look like with ongoing pandemic?
COVID-19 has changed our lives in many ways over the last couple of years. I would like to suggest doing some research and reading some alternative sources of news. Did you ever wonder why it is considered misinformation to list the survival rates of COVID? I also posted that Oregon is one o…
As we celebrate the birth of the most well known progressive man in 2,000 years, I wonder how many who love Jesus realize what a progressive force he was in his own time. He taught love and forgiveness, while the consciousness, societal agreements, and the Old Testament called for an eye for…
Can we please come together and realize that we have more in common than what divides us. I truly would love to see a common ground of discussion over our points of view. I will refrain in this place as I have committed thrice. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a free night. 🧡
Is Tiller being overlooked by big city Roseburg?
Kudos to my state senator, Dallas Heard, for recently standing up to the Democrat left wing progressives who currently dominate the Oregon Legislature. ("Heard again removed over mask;" The News-Review, Dec. 15.)
Thank you to David Grotkin for his very informative Dec. 12 letter to Public Forum (The News-Review) on the subject of the "so-called" greater Idaho proposition. Mr. Grotkin has presented some serious issues to take into consideration regarding the proposal to add some of Oregon to Idaho.
The Oregon Health Authority plans to enforce compliance and restrict access by:
You have to wonder about the decision to start a major construction project in front of Costco during the holiday season. The traffic backups are a mess.
We were driving north on I5, one recent rainy, foggy morning. Convoys of trucks rolled south and north. I sometimes smile at the drivers as they go by. I know those drives must get very long and lonely. Human contact is important, even if the trucks tower above and drivers must focus on ever…
In response to Mr. Chasm (Dec. 8, The News-Review), I'll take being called an agitator by him as a compliment. Thank you. A malicious liar? Not so much.
Dallas Heard received appropriate treatment for being removed in the Oregon Senate for refusing to follow state and national CDC health and safety guidelines for the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jim Harroun's Sunday sermon, published in The News-Review on Dec. 9, was not only inappropriate in a general newspaper such as this, but has zero chance of achieving his goal (that we all now turn to the God he worships).
Everyone is going crazy over global warming and the green deal. Sorry folks, but the only way to save the planet is to reduce the population. The earth can only sustain so many people.
They should have a National End of Medicare Enrollment commercial day on Dec. 8.
I've been reading The News-Review for 40-plus years. It's always been my main source of local news and events.
