Words cannot express the appreciation I feel toward the citizens of Danville for choosing me to serve as their treasurer.

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.

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.

Here’s the last word from our readers on Tuesday’s election

Readers sound off on Tuesday’s election

Reader letters about the presidential, congressional and treasurer races

Why did they attack Palin?, Obama wants what we want, Kate Berger is a solid choice and Going down the wrong road

This letter is in response to Mr. Anthony “Tyrone” Scales’ letter regarding the Morehead High School football program

Haymore would hate to lose Easley, but he endorses her, Turner backs David Giffen, So what if he visits our state?, David Giffen for city treasurer, One is ‘uniquely qualified’ and Why can’t they just fix this?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Goode was able to get my medal, We need a man like Sen. John McCain and Vote Chad Miller for county treasurer

Wasn’t theft the real story?, A new burden for the county, Voting McCain for my family, Vote Easley for treasurer, Easley is the best choice, So much for their promises, Save our county from uranium mining now and Berger for treasurer

What were we fighting for in Iraq?, How can anyone really like Palin? and McCain tried to warn us about this

We’re on the wrong road, Who’s ready for this change?, A case of yellow journalism and Our system wasn’t set up to run on feelings and emotions

A matter of bad judgment, Why destroy Obama signs?, What will happen in court? and Pray for our next president

Anti-abortion, but will vote for Democrats this year, Support Veterans for Virgil, What kind of change is it?, Fisher is right about what we all need to do this year

It doesn’t take a lawyer, Bravo to Tom Perriello, Berger is the best choice, Vote Easley for treasurer and Why spoil it with uranium?

Where are they coming from? and Bring sanity to the markets

We’re all stuck on the sidelines, Not proud of what’s happening, Berger is the best choice for us and The GOP lacks any ideas this year

I want to thank all the folks who were associated with Madison’s Third Annual Heritage Festival this past Saturday. It was a huge success.

Berger for treasurer, No ham in my coffee, They just can’t do it, So that’s what it took, There were better picks, Better plans ignored and We’ll have to watch this

Three years after being attacked, Amy sends out thanks, good news and Understand what they really want

You can fool some of the sheeple ... and What did they do with $2 billion?

I take issue with the last two editorials that have appeared in the Media General newspapers because of accusations of the provincialism in each municipality and their alleged unwillingness to work together.

America — don’t buy it!, Here’s a change we need, So much for the whole truth, Only Obama gets this right, Palin has been a bright spot, We have to get off the bad path we’re now on, It could happen to you, A doctor says goodbye, This is just plain dumb and The best we can do?
