Letter to the Editor Dear Editor,
acknowledgment of reality is a good starting point.
I read in last week’s paper that upgrading Hwy 10 is not in the state budget for the next 3 years. Without doubt Mayor Linville, as well as the rest of us, needs to be concerned for the blatant disregard for the safety of our citizens. We need to be represented by solutions and actions and not just photo ops.
In two of the last three elections, Macon County ran a dedicated...
Letter to the Editor Ms. Dillehay,
Your editorial last week was insightful and needed. I agree that the “Reach your dreams” speech can produce wannabes who are reluctant to do a day’s work, I believe that what we really need is a sense of balance. I believe that we need to encourage our students to reach their goals, but that we need to encourage them to ask WHY they want to enter into a certain career. Also, we need to teach them to be flexible and to realize ...
Real Life 101 - for graduates Graduation looms large in my mind just now; it probably does for most of you, too.
My husband will receive his hard-earned Masters of Divinity degree this week. Our high schools are turning out this year’s batch of young, energetic minds.

To the Editor Happy Mother’s Day
Along with our beautiful Spring flowers comes another Mother’sDay. Emerson said it best: The day out of the year is not enough to say thanks for all they’ve done for us. God Christian mothers that took their children to church and raised them in a Christian home are so important. Teaching them to love God and their fellow man. “Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. She openeth her mouth with wi...
To the Editor Dear Editor,
Our father purchased a Regal guitar in 1939 in Kentucky. He played music in the region with Art Driver, Noah Green and others during the 1940s. The guitar even went with him to Germany during his years of service in the US Army. The fret board is worn down at his favorite chords.
Earlier this month he sold it to a gentleman who came to a garage sale on Oak Grove Road in RBS. His daughters would like for the gentleman who purc...
Letter to the Editor Dear Editor,
In the near future a museum for Red Boiling Springs will open. It will be located in the old bank building at the corner of Main Street and East Main Street. This building dates to circa 1928 and is the oldest commercial building in the downtown area. It is in the process of being renovated back to its original status. Vision 20/20 has dedicated itself to revitalizing Red Boiling Springs and making it once again a historic dest...
The ethics of a good newspaper Ethics are a tricky business in the newspaper world. They’re tricky for reporters, for editors, for advertisers, for publishers, and for readers.
Thankfully, a set of standards has been developed over time to help us sort through these issues. Any reputable news source is part of a press association, and a press association generally has a set of ethical guidelines, which the paper agrees to stand by.
