Letters

I would like to thank everyone for the dedication of the open-air theater in the dell behind the Galax Public Library.
To have the theater named in my honor was beyond my expectations. I am proud, and at the same time, humbled, by the honor, since so many of my friends were instrumental in the conception, initiation and actualization of the Galax Theater Guild and its many productions.

King Barack Socialism for America? No way.
Barack Obama knows that government ownership of all property has never worked, and never will work.
A graduate of the prestigious Harvard University knows enough of history to understand that private ownership and enterprise does indeed work.
The answer for America in our time of great need? Neo‑benevolent executive control of everything — private and public — a neo‑monarchy.

The Galax varsity boys’ football team would like to thank this community for supporting us on our journey to the state championship playoff game.
Although we came up short in the final game, we are honored to be the state runner-up for the first time in Galax High School history.
This experience has been awesome for us, as so many records have been broken and history has been made.

A few years ago we “adopted” our road, committing to maintain at a neat and clean standard. The initial clean-up was a major undertaking, but we accomplished it and took pride in the results.
But every year at this time we are confronted with a very unpleasant task: removal of deer remains. This time is the worst ever.
Recently, while out on our daily walk, we happened on the carcass of a doe. She was apparently killed here, a few choice pieces were harvested, and the remainder left to decompose in our neighborhood.
