Election could be fixed again To the editor:    Once again, I hear the call to alert our community, state and nation to take heed of our White House occupant. I dislike calling Joe Biden our President because he does not deserve this title.

No-ties movement a good move, even for retired guys

For nearly all of my career in newspapers, I wore a tie to work. Now that I’m retired, ties are usually not required inside a newspaper office, at least for most folks. The dressed-down look came too late for me.    Today, I keep my ties in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.

Cheers and Jeers

THUMBS UP to the organizers of the Downtown Clarkesville Christmas for moving the parade. No one wants to watch a parade in the rain, and very few folks would have come off their couches during the SEC Championship game to be wet and cold, even with Christmas spirit abounding.

Economy in trouble To the editor:    Have you ever thought about this? The ad in the paper shows a new car at an incredible price drop – $12,000 off MSRP. You are led to believe that the poor dealer is going to take a huge loss.

I’ll be here for Christmas, you can plan on me

You never feel more blessed to live the small-town life as you do when you come back from someplace busier after Thanksgiving.    Pinellas County, Fla., has nearly a million people living in it, with another 1.4 million across the bay in Tampa.

Find your Christmas spirit

Christmas celebrations are upon us in Habersham County, even as the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers are leaving everyone’s refrigerator.    Cornelia lit up its tree on Friday night to start the festivities, and there is plenty more yuletide joy to go around Habersham County as December dawns.

Party for the elite To the editor:    Knowing that this is the 200th birthday of Clarkesville, I expected a big celebration on the Fourth of July this year.    Instead, I read in the newspaper that there was a celebration at the beautiful homestead – the Charm House – last week.

Thanksgiving: Savoring and making memories

Thanksgiving.    How does this holiday resonate with you?    For me, it’s savoring memories and making memories.    As a skinny boy with buzz-cut hair, I squirmed for 175 miles in the backseat of our family’s first new car.

What a birthday celebration

Clarkesville planned for a long time to celebrate its 200th birthday with a yearlong string of events in 2023, and it is easy to say that it was a major success.

Jesus is Lord To the editor:    I would like to respond to a comment made by Mr. Tim Garvin-Leighton, campus minister and assistant professor of religion at Piedmont University, in an article concerning the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
