Check out Soul Station in Tunnel Hill
To the editor:
There’s a store in Tunnel Hill called Soul Station, a nonprofit place for people who need help. It is run by a preacher, Mike Watkins. He and his wife have given to the community for many years. They give out food on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He is assisted by Samantha, his daughter-in-law and volunteer.
You should come in and look around. There are books, crafts, clothes and shoes — both new and used — and diapers and formula.
If you need Halloween costumes for your children, there are plenty, plus bags for trick-or-treating and party supplies. There will be a lot of Christmas decorations, also. If you have donations, you can drop them off. All profits go to buy food from the food bank.
If you need to counsel with a good Christian man, this man can be trusted. He is a true man of God. My two sons think so much of him that their families donate to the store, also.
So, go in and look around. You will find something you can use and the money goes to a good cause. If you do not attend a church, there is a service on Sunday at 11 a.m. at the store. The store is in the middle of the shopping center on Highway 41 between the barber shop and Cindy’s Diner.
Families are going through so much with all the layoffs and little money. We have to help each other. I am on a fixed income and don’t have money to give, but my donations can help a family who needs food for their children.
This store is the only one like it in Tunnel Hill. You could save time from driving to Dalton or Ringgold. Come in or just make a donation at the cash register. You could be helping your neighbor or volunteer to hang up clothes or put out things on shelves. Anything is appreciated.

Letter: Paper treated Deal unfairly

Letter: Students are fighting to protect higher education
The nearly $600 million in budget cuts proposed for the University System of Georgia struck a chord with me when I learned how the budget cuts would affect my region.

Letter: A road solution
I am not a rocket scientist nor an engineer, yet I have come up with a very simple solution for a bypass for the Highway 225 and the Alternate Highway 52 congestion. And I wasn’t paid $750,000 to do it, nor have I been influenced by any landowners along the way.

Letter: Say no to health care taxes
President Obama has put online his own proposal for health care. This time he cannot point his finger at the House, Senate, Republications or even Democrats when it fails. He will have to face the music for his legacy alone.

Letter: Become a marrow donor
A dear friend of mine, Mindy Blackwell, lost her battle with leukemia this past October. Mindy needed a bone marrow transplant and, out of millions on the registry, there was not a match for her. She lived six days short of a year from her diagnosis. Mindy is the inspiration for Studio One Hair Designs hosting a Bone Marrow Donor Drive. It is our goal to help grow “Be The Match Registry,” the national bone marrow donor registry, so that one day anyone in need of a transplant will have a matching donor.

Can someone help get the lights on
Christmas morning, 2009, wake up, Merry Christmas. Oh, no! There is no electricity all day long, no power. It’s nothing new. I got up this morning, Feb. 19, 2010, to go to work and yup, once again, no power.
