  • Thanks for East Union road improvement

    To the Editor:
       
    While educators are always concerned with academic progress and student achievement, they must also be acutely aware of student safety. Parents want to know that their children are safe at school. The East Union administration recently proposed a plan to relocate the school bus loading and unloading zone. The purpose for this proposed change was to minimize safety risks for our students.

    Dear Editor:

    Ever once in a while something happens that just blows your mind and last

  • Support the museum

    Dear Editor:

    Several weeks ago I undertook a task for New Albany Garden Club that would normally have involved countless hours and miles of travel. I began researching William Faulkner’s first edition novels for his mention of local flowers and plant life to be used in the Faulkner Garden.

    Dear Editor:

    To little fanfare, by 2010 Mississippi had met its five year goal of decreasing highway traffic deaths by 10 percent two years early.  A major part of that decrease was enacting a Primary Seatbelt law in 2006 and the public education campaign about the new law, “Click It or Ticket.”

  • Bye, Bye, Birdie praised

    Dear Editor:
       
    Once again, New Albany High School has put on an outstanding production!  
    Bye, Bye, Birdie was really a first class production from A to Z.  The students all did an excellent job of singing, acting, and dancing the night away.  Fred  Astaire and Ginger Rogers would have been proud to see you all dance and sing

  • Honoring Eli Whiteside

    Dear Editor:

    One of the incalculable benefits of living in a small town, albeit one as great as New Albany, is the opportunity to exalt the accomplishments of its fellow citizens. One such point of pride for the city is inevitably Eli Whiteside’s attainment of a World Series championship as a member of the San Francisco Giants baseball team.

    Dear Editor:

    Having worked for years in a business that allows smoking, having been associated with the American Cancer Society for 13 years, and as someone allergic to smoke, I was thrilled to read your Dec. 30 editorial, “Toyota and tobacco,” and learn that all tobacco use will be banned at the new Toyota plant in Union County.
