Political action, the hospital and spreading wealth
It didn’t stop on Nov. 4, Danville Regional was already ‘there’ when it was sold and By all means, spread wealth

Nelson Cole responds to letter about tax statements
Recently, a letter to the editor appeared in the Eden Daily News and the Reidsville Review regarding remarks that I supposedly made at an October meeting of the Rockingham County Partnership for Economic Development and Tourism. The information that has since circulated with respect to this meeting is simply incorrect. In this letter, it is my intention to correct the confusion created by an uninformed interpretation of the Vehicle Miles Travel tax (VMT), and of statements I made pertaining to it.

Where are the flags?
Hopefully next year, the Leaksville merchants will take the time to pay respect to all the veterans who have so proudly served their country!

Helping with the search
Our objective was to bring Red home safe to his loving family. Even though we did not meet our objective, I believe Red is home now and safe in God’s arms.

Freedom for voters
I am starting a campaign called “Freedom for the Voter.”
Moving forward with baby steps
I read, “A problem we can’t ignore,” (Oct. 19, page A11) with great interest. I am one of the new physicians who have been recruited to Danville Regional Medical Center. I came here not because I needed a job, but because I felt that this facility was a diamond in the rough with many good people who want to see this hospital succeed, a good subspecialty base — which is unusual for a hospital and community of this size — and the desire to be a highly functioning provider of health care.
Setting the record straight
I was featured in, “Marine mom in new battle,” (Nov. 2, page A1), and I am here to correct all the wrong information.
Thanks to those who voted for me
Words cannot express the appreciation I feel toward the citizens of Danville for choosing me to serve as their treasurer.

Nelson Cole and the vehicle mileage tax
In the Oct. 16 Eden Daily News, State Rep. Nelson Cole, a Democrat along with some state Transportation Department people, met and discussed with the Economic and Tourism Development group the hardships of the DOT in not having the proper funding to do the proposed projects in the coming years.
No down-home values here
There was no enlightening news in the story “Opie, Andy back Obama…“ which ran Oct. 30. Many people enjoy the old “Andy Griffith Show” reruns as I do, but our citizens are smart enough to know that these actors are not the characters they played on TV more than 40 years ago, and they never were.

Let’s compromise on awning
Like most ordinary folk, I do not understand the thought process that goes into making most government decisions—be they federal, state, or local. The rhyme and reason usually escape me. With that said, would someone please explain why the Reidsville city manager and mayor seem bent on causing the closure of one of Reidsville ‘s most prominent, beneficial and long-established businesses—Settle Street Station.

Morale down at Morehead
Thursday and Friday night football through the eyes of players and supporters of Morehead High School is depressing. Morale is as far down as it can get. There is talent on these teams.
Supporting Coach Smart
In response to the letter written by Anthony Scales, better known by Eden residents and Morehead football fans as Tyrone Scales, I would like to give a different view of the current program and its staff.
The election, the hospital and jail time
Kushner makes some good points, but ..., What’s behind that ranking?, Powell’s endorsement makes a big difference for Obama, Barbour is the best choice, Don’t let race stop you, Under the microscope, So much for jail time, Vote for ‘Lyn’ Barbour and Berger the best choice

Infringing on free speech
Someone is taking Obama/Biden signs in my neighborhood of Courtland Park in Reidsville. While I am not a supporter of the Obama campaign, I would like to urge the persons responsible to stop infringing on the free speech rights of others.
Turning the Morehead program around
The Eden community had very high expectations for the Morehead High School football program this season. Over the years, the attendance along with community support has been great in coming out to a Friday night football game.
