Letter: Books needed to help students continue to expand their brains

2012-01-28T02:25:22-05:00

We are fourth-grade students at Brookwood Elementary School. Most students have a passion for diving into a good book. Some students at our school do not have books to dive into. Other students, who have books, need new ones to read.

Letter: ‘Made in China’ not appropriate for King memorial

2012-01-21T04:21:43-05:00

What begin with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity of Boston University and their endeavor to memorialize their frat brother, Martin Luther King Jr., became a phenomenal success. Initially, the estimated $120 million was to be funded by individual and corporate donations. However, these were not the major contributors.

Letter: Stop SOPA

2012-01-19T05:51:10-05:00

I would like to urge everyone to contact your elected officials and ask them to vote against the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) bill. This bill is an abomination and a stench in the nostrils of true Americans. We have never condoned censorship in this country, and find it repugnant in the extreme.

Letter: Extreme partisanship has no place at the local level

2012-01-19T03:50:00-05:00

This letter is to commend the Murray County Board of Education members for their decision to request our local legislators to introduce legislation to allow the board to become nonpartisan. When I was a member of the board we discussed this, but never acted on it. I’m glad they have pursued it.

Letter: Tim Tebow isn't the one who should apologize

2012-01-14T04:17:32-05:00

A lot has been said and written lately about Tim Tebow, the Denver Broncos quarterback who has recently led the Broncos to some impressive victories. Many take issue with his public displays of his Christian heritage and his faith in Jesus Christ, both on the field and off. Therefore, I would like to add my voice concerning Mr. Tebow.

Letter: Support groups can be a lifeline

2012-01-05T06:04:10-05:00

As anyone could imagine, grief and sadness are normal after a stroke. Depending on how severe the stroke is, it can have an enormous impact on a person’s life and the families. People who used to lead independent lives before their stroke, and now rely on outside help, will have a lot of adjusting to do, both psychologically and in the practical aspects of their day-to-day lives.

Letter: What Kelly taught me

2012-01-05T05:02:15-05:00

Perhaps you’ve heard the saying “A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.” In a world of darkness, it seems only natural that everyone would choose to be near that light and to pass it on to others. My world, like countless others, has been made brighter by a wonderful woman, Kelly Bock. Her time in this world has been cut short, but her light will shine on in all of us who were blessed to have known her.

Letter: Support group to help disabled individuals

2012-01-05T05:01:00-05:00

A new support group is starting in Dalton-Whitfield County named Citizens with Disabilities Association of Dalton-Whitfield County.

Letter: To Shaw and beyond

2011-12-26T22:45:47-05:00

It is time for the city of Dalton and Whitfield County to celebrate the strong history of carpet and textiles. This would mark the historic points of discovery and build tourist interest.
