Letters

So, let me get this straight. The animal shelter manager was unaware that the Humane Society was interested in a specific dog.
This same dog that they promptly euthanized was pictured the weekend before in The Gazette. One would think that they would keep dogs that have been featured in the paper for as long as possible.
The shelter claims it had to make space for seven dogs that were “supposedly” being turned in to the shelter. We need specific answers from the shelter manager.

 The family of Audrey Hope Gillespie would like to extend heartfelt thanks for the kindness and generosity extended during Sunday’s [Feb. 3] benefit held at First Baptist Church in Galax. The response and attendance was very uplifting.
To the many individuals, businesses, churches, musicians and volunteers who contributed, as well as the hundreds who attended, we say “thank you!”
The family would especially like to extend gratitude to First Baptist Church of Galax for hosting the benefit.

Todd Jennings’ Jan. 25 column about power outages was a corker, catching the sentiments of many of us.
Appalachian Power is failing to hire contract crews to keep trees trimmed back from the pole-to-pole power lines, according to a neighbor of mine who works for a tree trimming service.
On Jan. 25 I finally got through to an AEP outage man in West Virginia — they no longer have any local responders to these calls, he said — after getting nothing but 15-minute waits and then a bunch of static from the 800 number listed on my AEP bill.

There is a saying, “There is none so blind as those who will not see.”
These words are just what America has become.
President Obama has sent millions of taxpayer dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt.
He has now sent them 20 American fighter jets.
I wonder why he wants to build up Muslim countries. It is not hard to figure out. They hate Israel and will attack it sooner or later.
But isn’t Israel our ally?
