  • Wishing bad things for tractor thief

    To the editor:
    Someone stole my 8N Ford tractor in the past couple of days.
    I’m sure it was a poor man needing money, but I want him to know two things: 1. You stole from a poor man. 2. It was my dad’s tractor that he bought new.
    After he died, I fixed it because it was his. You not only stole it from me, you broke my heart.
    I hope bad things happen to you as you have caused bad things to happen to me.

  • Make time for loved ones

    To the editor:
    Were you too busy to take the time to read this letter?
    We all live in a rush and have busy lifestyles these days, but do we really have to live that way?
    We somehow find time for the things we like to do, so why can’t we make time for the loved ones in our lives?
    As we go through life we forget what is important. Then, as we get older, we finally learn the important things, but sometimes it’s too late.

  • Nero’s not fiddling on Main Street yet, but he is warming up

    To the editor:
    I just had to write and let everyone know about my recent visit to town.
    As a former Anderson Countian, I was pleased to find friendly people still living there in Lawrenceburg. I ate lunch at a Main Street café — like found in New York City — and was offered a free dessert for waiting for my food.
    I hadn’t realized I had waited and I was enjoying the atmosphere and staring at the delicious desserts.
    At the local bank I was warmly greeted and a recently paved street brought me into town.

  • Community outpouring for Cody Ramsey was tremendous

    To the editor:
    I would like to thank so many of you in this community for the outpouring of support that was offered to the family of Cody Ramsey during the difficult and trying time following his death.
    It was refreshing to see the small-town values that still exist within our growing community.
    Brian Ritchie was so caring and professional and he, along with his staff, did an outstanding job with the visitation, funeral services and arrangements for Cody. Death is never easy for a family, but a sudden death can be overwhelming for a family.

  • Remembering the flag

    To the editor:
    I am writing this letter in regard to a photo and writing project I recently completed.
    I had some close friends recommend that I submit the picture with my writing to my hometown newspaper, possibly for publication on the Fourth of July.
    Thank you so much for your time and I hope you consider printing my work in your newspaper.

    The Flag
    He looks at the flag waving in the air, too young to know the meaning it bears.

  • Recycle bins a questionable idea at best

    To the editor:
    I see the big picture for Anderson County Environmental Committee’s recycling program to become not only profitable in terms of the environment and landfill waste management, but at the very least cost-neutral for taxpayers or even become self-sustaining.
