Do your job with ‘grace’
Do your job with ‘grace’
To the editor: Letters to the editor attacking personnel committee chair, commissioner Ross are meant to divert attention from the “toxic” label put on commissioner Lautner. The board of commissioners does not need “leadership training.” They desparately need a governing workshop. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

To the editor: The headline article “Patriot group gets on agenda” (02/02/24) was misleading and disappointing. In my opinion it was written with a clear bias couched in “argumentum ad hominem.” This term usually is used to refer to a rhetorical strategy in which the writer unfavorably portrays a character, motive, or other attribute of the individual(s) making the argument, rather than addressing the argument itself. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

To the editor: It has been three years since the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol of the United States. As a fiscal conservative Republican, I believe people who planned and participated in this assault should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

To the editor: I think we can all agree that when employers ensure a positive work culture for their employees, everyone benefits — both employees and those they serve.

To the editor: I am writing to correct an assumption about the status of The Maritime Heritage Alliance located on M22 in Greilickville. The plan to construct a Freshwater Research Center in this location will necessitate our vacating our present shop and storage facilities as they will be torn down. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Civility is gone
To the editor: I’ve come to admire the Brits’ ability to refer to the political other as the “Loyal Opposition.” In doing so it endows the “other” with valued recognition and respect. I’m sure at times all of us have been perceived as the opposition. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM
The Old Art Building in Leland is looking to possibly expand its campus and secure access to a waterfront property just adjacent from its current location. The proposed acquisition at 204 Cedar Street, which is priced at $3,100,000 (includes additional closing costs and fees), is 1.14 acre...
OAB looks to expand, secure waterfront property
The Old Art Building (OAB) has an unexpected opportunity to secure access to a waterfront property just adjacent from its current location. While the organization is in its early information gathering stage to assess if the community supports the potential new project, Executive Director Sarah Mills said the chance to buy land so close to where they are now is rare and would support both their mission and long-term goals of the OAB. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM
