Truck bill could damage roads

To the editor: As a county commissioner, those who elected me to serve have entrusted me with many responsibilities – from helping ensure their health and safety to being a good steward of taxpayer dollars.

Finding balance for local growth

It’s a true example of a vicious cycle when it comes to housing in Habersham County. “We don’t have enough housing,” some say. “We don’t want more people here, there will be too much traffic.” “But what can we do to keep our students from leaving for jobs outside the county after they graduate?”

Businesses are lifeblood of community

THUMBS UP to Habersham County’s  businesses and industries, which are honored in today’s edition with the “Best of Habersham County” section. These businesses and industries serve us every day and are the foundation and pillars of our local economy.

Stay true to values

To the editor: Does my opinion matter? I hope it does, so hear me out. I grew up in the 50s, came to the U.S. in 1961 when I was 18. I have seen a lot of changes in our life since then. But I have never experienced what is now occurring.

Keep fitness center open

To the editor: I have lived in Clarkesville now for over 25 years, and my husband and I have been going to Total Fitness since I retired about four years ago.

Keep fitness center open

To the editor: Not having ever written a letter to the editor during my 94 years in Clarkesville, I believe now this is the time.

Fitness center vital to seniors

To the editor: Since 1996, Habersham Medical Center has operated Total Fitness, first at Piedmont University and the Ruby Fulbright Aquatic Center. We value physical fitness and believe our participation at Total Fitness since 2006, has contributed to our overall wellness as we age.

We still need fitness center

To the editor: Those of us who attend Total Fitness at the Aquatic Center were devastated to hear that “our” exercise place was being closed.
