Car seats are key to saving our most precious local lives

   The stats are tragic and sobering.    In 2022 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that on average a total of 756 children were killed in passenger vehicles and over 120,000 were injured.

Letters to the Editor

In response to ‘DNC’ article To the editor:    In response to the article entitled ‘Local delegate reflects on ‘joy’ of DNC’ in the Aug. 28 edition of The Northeast Georgian:    How sad is this article about a bunch of devils.    If the Democrats win in November, we will be under communism.

I can see clearly now

   One of the first things most people mention when they get glasses is their amazement at being able to see the individual leaves on trees. I always thought the statement seemed outlandish.

It’s everyone’s job to help our children

   The tragedy that happened last week at Apalachee High School in Barrow County was unimaginable.  And in the wake of that tragedy, we have seen a concerning series of events. Many teens are being arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges related to potential threats against their schools.

   Few of us will forget the morning of September 11, 2001. Most of us will remember where we were when we heard or saw the news the United States of America was under attack. Three hijacked passenger planes were crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.

Letters to the Editor

DNC, Harris must be clear about policies   To the editor:    In response to the Aug. 28 article entitled “Local Delegate reflects on the ‘joy’ of the DNC:”    My hope was to read about policies the DNC is presenting.

Stunt double for ‘The Rock’ also has a soft side

   It seems appropriate that the popular American Ninja Warrior is showing on television when Myles Humphus telephones me. Humphus is not a Ninja, but he’s certainly a warrior. He could pass for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the actor.
