Letter to the editor: Ever-increasing surveillance state
I’d like to thank the electric company for their service. They have been sending me emails once a week, patting me on the head when I use less electricity, and chiding me when I use more. With their newest surveillance system, they were able to determine that the water heater...
Letter to the editor: Will Fetterman represent our best interests?
Under the Wolf-Fetterman administration we witnessed a covid shutdown with crippling effects to businesses and households.

Dennis Roddy: Queen’s death sends Britain into muted mourning
LONDON — Queen Elizabeth’s death came off flawlessly, a passing anticipated for so long that it was code-named for a landmark the British sold to a wealthy American who moved it to Arizona and turned it into a tourist attraction 50 years ago. London Bridge still stands, albeit in Arizona....

Doug Mastriano’s security bubble insulates him from prying eyes and dissenting views
On a weekday afternoon in late August, Doug Mastriano’s campaign bus pulled up outside Gatsby’s Bar & Grill in suburban Philadelphia just after 1 p.m. The words “Restore Freedom” were emblazoned on the side over a red outline of Pennsylvania. It had been billed as a meet-and-greet. Enthusiastic Republicans were...

Letter to the editor: Time to open federal lands, waters to energy development
Natural gas is fueling our economy and powering our energy needs. However, our country has yet to reach its full energy potential thanks to unnecessary government roadblocks and policies that hinder, rather than support, energy growth. It’s time for the federal government to allow for energy development on federal lands...
Letter to the editor: Ruins Project a hidden gem on GAP trail
Riding along Great American Passage south of Smithton on my bike I came across an unusual sight — what appeared to be a jewelry store along the trail in the middle of nowhere. Next to it was a sign that said “Keep Out.” I had to see why. A man...

Letter to the editor: Better ways to discipline than hitting
As a retired parent educator, I was disheartened by the article “Missouri school district reinstates corporal punishment” (Aug. 26, TribLIVE). With so many alternatives to use, parents and educators can choose nonphysical forms of correcting inappropriate behavior. Studies have consistently shown that spanking as a form of discipline has many...

Letter to the editor: John Kasich would make a great Pa. senator
If anyone should have “moved back” to Pennsylvania to seek the Republican senatorial nomination, it was former Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Granted, he hasn’t lived in the commonwealth since he went to that college in Columbus that thinks “The” is the first word in its name, but being the son...
