Thanks for dog park

To the editor: Congratulations to Clarkesville City Council for the speedy erection of a dog park behind the square. This will give a great place for our furry friends to meet and mingle. Water and waste disposal facilities are still required but I understand these are coming.

In loving memory of Larry La Prade

To the editor: “Dear God, Don’t Tell Larry I Miss Him” As I sit here all alone today I just wanted to talk to you and pray. Please tell Larry I love him so. I was so sad when he had to go.   But I know he’s happy there with You. Don’t tell him how much I miss him.

Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week. However, we believe the entire month of May or school year should be set aside to celebrate our teachers. As they partner with parents, year-after-year to raise the future generations of community, state and world.

County had its serve broken

It has been several weeks since the end of Pickleball-Tennis War I, and all fronts are quiet, for now. The truth is, it wasn’t really a war. In fact, the two factions did not even want to oppose each other.

Biden is less than desirable

To the editor: OK, people, do you believe Joe Biden is ahead in the polls? I don’t believe it for one minute. The polls are lying just like Biden. The border is wide open and we are getting rid of anything that stops illegals from entering the U.S.
