Extra Points: Sept. 14

    This year’s NFL season started this past week, finally, and there has been a lot of controversy around the NFL players and other athletes who are now choosing to take a knee or sit during the National Anthem.
    While I agree they have every right to do that because the soldiers who have fought, been injured and even lost their lives did it for us to continue to have our freedom. We all have the right to free speech and I think it is good that people exercise their rights.

Not mowing brush anymore

Bedford

    The town of Bedford is a great place to live.  My family moved here 28 years ago and this is “home” to us.  I take pride in saying that I live in or am from Bedford, Virginia.
    With that said, I come to the point of this letter.  From time to time, I hear of or read an article concerning the need for more tourism in Bedford.  It is at this point that I have become frustrated and/or confused as to a possible cause for this.

Stopping DOJ’s slush funds

It sounds like something out of a television drama. Settlement money from organizations that broke the law is being funneled to left-leaning activist groups. But, unfortunately, it’s not a fictional drama – it’s true!

 

Some good ideas

    Bedford County Public Schools is in the process of updating its strategic plan. Dr. Douglas Schuch, the school division’s superintendent, unveiled a draft at this month’s regular school board meeting.

Trump supporters ‘deplorable?’ Oh, yeah

    The big news in the presidential race last week was Donald Trump’s admission that, yes, Barack Obama, our 44th president, duly elected twice by the American people, was actually born in this country.
    Apparently, Trump is now willing to let Obama and his family stay in the country, since he’s determined, once and for all, the president’s origins. It remains a mystery how and why he thinks this holy mission fell upon him, but, you know, we’re dealing with Donald Trump here, so who knows?

    Tom Garrett is the only candidate who will preserve my 2nd Amendment rights.

    “I do not feel we are playing to our potential,” said JF Coach Bob Christmas.
    Magna Vista took over the football game quickly last Friday leading 21-7 at halftime. Forest  came back in the second half, but was unable to get that last score for the win.

    Where will Liberty High School’s (LHS) baseball team practice and play home games while the new competition gym is being built? That’s what was on the mind of the folks who spoke during the public comment session at Thursday night’s school board meeting.

Republicans made a good choice

    Cheers to the Republican Party of Virginia for voting for a primary rather than a mass meeting to select their 2017 candidates!
