Dear Editor:
In the dark of night, the touch-and-go planes are flying over our house. To be exact, it is 8:15 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 14, less than two weeks since the crash of a similar plane near Bloxom on its way from Virginia Beach.
This is disturbing to say the...
Dear Editor:
As September turns to October, the leaves begin to fall, and the marsh turns to an increasingly golden yellow, we find ourselves in one of the more contentious election cycles in recent memory. Politics aside, it is imperative we all fill out the census.

Dear Editor:
I support the 1% sales tax initiative proposed by the Northampton County Board of Supervisors.

Dear Editor:
During this pandemic period when we have to stay home I would like to thank some of the places that stayed open and/or had food that we could pick up or have

Many thanks to Bill’s Restaurant who stayed...
Dear Editor:
To all those wondering, I am the 60-year-old Painter woman who was stabbed the night of Aug. 25.
I want to address this issue because it was my daughter who wielded the knife, yet it was not my daughter. She has a mental illness that led to this and...
Dear Editor:
2020 has been a year of unprecedented events impacting the globe in a way that many of us have never seen. In a time where one would imagine people rallying together to overcome our common plight, instead we are seeing amazing shows of divisiveness. Reaction has overtaken listening,...
Dear Editor:
This letter is in response to Ms. McGuire’s letter of Aug. 28 (“Trump Hasn’t Evolved”).
