Supports Sylvester

    I’m writing to express my support for Fred Sylvester who is running for the District 2 seat of the Bedford County Board of Supervisors. 

Do something
positive

    It is always amusing when someone who has no children attempts to advise parents on how to raise their offspring. It is equally ludicrous when someone outside the faith assumes the position of advisor to Christians by telling them what they and their churches should do in response to racism.
    On the Opinion page of the Bedford Bulletin, last week, a regular columnist appeared to think that his perception of Christians was more important than reality.

Taken care of

    I want to thank The Bedford Life Saving Crew for a job well done on August 8, 2017, for getting me to Bedford Centra Hospital and I want to thank all the staff on 3 a.m. shift in The Emergency Room for the quick efficiency work they did for me.
    I don’t believe I would be here today if it wasn’t for each and everyone of them and the good Lord pulling me thru my sickness.
    I want to thank all the staff in the I.C. unit on my stay afterward.

Give an hour a week

    As the new school year begins, I’d like to make our community aware of a wonderfully meaningful experience that has been in our area for several years: The Big Brothers Big Sisters Site-Based Mentor Program.
    It is designed to pair a caring adult with a child in need of extra support.  They meet once weekly at school for about an hour during the child’s lunch/recess time.
