Letters 07-03-19

Sure Is quiet

    If you haven’t read Doug Mayhew’s letter of 2-13-19, you certainly should.  He made it clear as to how the inter-circle of the Sheriff’s office works.  This is only a small part of the operation. 

County’s Treasurer’s Office...

    The Bedford County Treasurer’s office recently received its accreditation from the Treasurer’s Association of Virginia (TAV).
    The certification was presented to Treasurer Kim Snow on June 14 as part of the Treasurers’ Association of Virginia’s annual conference in Arlington.

Council honors Rev. Henderson

    Bedford Town Council honored the Rev. Henry Henderson last week. The Rev. Henderson has been pastor of Washington Street Baptist Church for 50 years.

    The proclamation that Mayor Steve Rush read mentioned Rev. Henderson’s accomplishments over the years. He had a radio ministry on WBLT and was a leader in the work to establish the Shepherd’s Table. He counseled youth and adults as part of the Prison Ministry Team.

Water Safety Council thanks boat...

    The Smith Mountain Lake Water Safety Council, together with SML-area law enforcement, thanked all boat operators who honored the No-Wake Protocol while traveling into and out of Independence Day weekend fireworks viewing areas.
    Very few instances of boats making wakes as they arrived and departed were observed at fireworks events on July 4 at Mariner’s Landing, July 5 at Mitchell’s Marina and July 6 at Saunder’s Parkway Marina.

War with Iran?

    A couple of weeks ago, Rick Howell entitled his Liberal Agenda column “There must not be war with Iran.”
    Of course, we know from his past columns that, like other denizens of the so called “Democratic” Party’s extreme left, he hates the military and hates President Donald Trump. We also know that the Iran nuclear deal, which president Trump pulled out of, was the final act of his god Barack Obama’s foreign policy.

Our immoral shame at the border

    It’s become clear that all Americans should be ashamed at how foreign nationals at our border with Mexico are being treated, and that such treatment simply cannot be justified because they were trying to get here illegally.
    The tragedy of Donald Trump’s presidency first began when he branded all illegal immigrants as “rapists and killers.” He didn’t say “some,” or “a few,” he spoke in general terms.

Warren, Harris shine on campaign...

    Former Vice President Joe Biden continues to be the front-runner among 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, but there are two women in his rear-view mirror who are gaining fast.
     Two members of the U.S. Senate, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, and Kamala Harris of California, are winning notice, raising money, and rising in polls because of highly effective, even inspirational, campaigning.

Their social agenda is important...

    Liberals like to criticize conservatives for the importance we attach to social issues such as abortion and homosexuality. They like to accuse us of wanting to fight culture wars instead of focusing on real issues.
