Boardman concert was a great show

DEAR EDITOR: On Wednesday, I attended the Boardman Schools’ spring choir concert. It was outstanding. They presented the program in true Broadway fashion. For the finale,they did “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” accompanied by the Boardman High School high Band. It was AWESOME! It brought the audience to their feet. Well done, Boardman!

Let’s discuss Trump’s shortcomings

DEAR EDITOR: I admit that while his whispering of “well, guess what” during several speeches creeped me out, I never believed Joe Biden was too old for the job until I read Bob Woodwards’ account, in his book “WAR,” of the President’s failing mental acuity. The cover-up, in my opinion, was by his campaign staff. Mistake made, lesson learned. MAGAites, however, won’t ever admit Trump has any shortcomings. They prefer “doubling down” to “measuring twice and cutting once” thus explaining how corrupt 45 gave way to blatantly corrupt 47. Yet he commands blind loyalty ...

Don’t just criticize, solve a problem

DEAR EDITOR: This is for the person responsible for criticizing the Democrats in a recent Sound Off item. If you’re so intelligent and all-knowing, why not sign your name and let all the rest of us know what you propose to do to replace something that is working? What? DONNA NASSER Sharon, Pa.

Sound off!

Last weekend I attended my 4-year-old granddaughter’s dance recital. At intermission, I went to the lobby and there was a group of people who smelled so bad of marijuana that the whole lobby stunk.

I can’t believe that people can be so inconsiderate to expose children to their bad habits. If you want to smoke dope, do it at home. — Hubbard A Hubbard writer wondered why some Sound Off writers, “apparently Democrats,” have to ...

Why are we importing white South Africans?

DEAR EDITOR: How about a follow-up on the 49 white South Africans brought to the U.S. by a private charter plane? Who is paying? What will their status be? Where are they located? What benefits are they entitled to? What relations are they to Elon Musk, or are they just another distraction by Trump and Musk so they can continue destroying America while they continue to make private profits for themselves all over the world? Make what is going on front-page news instead of burying it where most people don’t ever read it. Start doing your job to protect us by providing the facts ...

Fight against park tyranny isn’t over

DEAR EDITOR: I think it is clear that Aaron Young is trying to deflect growing efforts to reform how Mill Creek Park board members are selected. They realize there is a movement for changing the selection of “them” by a given vote of Judge Rusu and will continue if not stopped. Under Mr. Young’s leadership, Mill Creek Park has become a place where politics and secrecy thrive. They do not allow anyone to ask questions at meetings. When questions were allowed, people were never answered. Transparency is nonexistent. There used to be a citizens committee, but Mr. Young likes ...
