Two days to get out of home I would like to Sound Off about the fact it isn’t just the school district that is all about politics. A friend of mine lives in government assisted housing and she was...
Weather too hot for school Who’s idea is it to send children to school in 100-plus degree weather? It has been way too hot to send children to school like this. I think parents should hold their ...
Ms. Vergie called week before last to say that if I’d get to their house as close to six as I could on Saturday morning, her son Gary was going to conduct an expedition down to the bottom fields. H...
Supporting our community All of the recent “Shop Corinth First” Sound Offs got me thinking. “Shop Corinth First” is just a program that reminds people to shop in your hometown first — not only. ...
Coming unglued I have never heard such howling about how awful this president is doing. He’s trying to straighten out the mess right wingers made so it might be better for them to sit down and shu...
We had one son who was horse mad, three who were more or less indifferent, and one who decided that horses were dumber than dodos. I found myself having rather strong opinions about them, too, las...
Shopping where job is Corinth and Alcorn County need to get busy and get some jobs in Corinth because taxes keep going up for its residents. What is sad, is how many who are having to work out of ...
Is another ‘Depression’ coming? I’m wondering where all this “’Change’ we can believe in” is going to take effect. President Obama has been in office nearly two years and the all the change I’ve s...
Do not donate garbage As a volunteer for the Alcorn Baptist clothes closet, I am very proud of the people who want to help, and make sure the clothes are good enough without holes and dirty sta...
Whose to blame, now? I’m sick and tired of hearing nothing is being done about the oil spill. President Obama turned down help from 13 nations because he refused to drop the Jones Act. Bush droppe...
As I arrived at our cabin a couple weeks ago, almost the first thing that my brother greeted me with was the story of his big catch. A whopper, it weighed eight pounds. He’d gutted it, scraped off...
To the editor: It seems a shame to me that people feel they have to speak poorly about Corinth during election years. I guess if you don’t have something to complain about, then why should people ...
Canine control I want to comment on “Unwanted dogs.” We also live on a county road. I cannot tell how many times we get unwanted momma dogs and puppies and tore-up males and cats. One time we ev...
Sodom and Gomorrah? I’ve been reading the Sound Off section and it seems people are waking up to a few things. First, so many people don’t have the right idea of what “Christianity” really is. Peo...
Lower prices needed In response to the Sound Off, “Making a living” on July 12: I do try to shop here first but most of the time I can go to Tupelo or even other towns and find the same things far...
I’m heading over to the family cabin for The Fourth. Reluctantly. The readers of this column must think I love to hit the road. I’m always writing about making a dash into Memphis to spend the n...
Let's go green Let’s go green — to the idea of planting trees in parking lots and at intersections. Yes, this will help cool the parking lots and streets. Most cities/towns where people like to vi...
Vote to ‘clean house’ To everyone complaining about the road conditions, the business closings and everything else wrong in this town, remember to vote. It is time we cleaned house in the city gov...
Hard work is appreciated I would like to publicly commend Dee Dee Brown, who has worked fervently to find local students jobs as part of the Three River Planning Development District this summer....
Update with trees Corinth lets plants and trees go. Go to coastal cities and shopping centers — all have trees throughout the parking lots. Temperatures are higher there and trees help to cool the...
If there’s anything I enjoy, it’s a hot cup of coffee. And I mean hot. Which means that I think the microwave is one of the best inventions ever. Well, not quite up there with the wheel or microch...
Our oldest son, who lives in Switzerland, has a housekeeper spruce up his place every couple of weeks. While he was hospitalized last month in an ongoing fight with cancer, he asked me to let her i...
