  • Scare tactics on aliens?

    Editor, Daily Press:
    I just finished watching scare tactics on a new channel called the Curiosity Channel, on satellite television. It was about, “What would we do if we were attacked by beings from outer space?” It was, in my opinion, designed and produced by the big corporations who are now running the world.

  • Think twice about testing

    Editor, Daily Press:
    I do not condone the use of drugs by welfare recipients and I do not believe that many can afford to use drugs. I also do not condone government intrusion into the private lives of citizens.

  • Ask B&GC about funds

    Two newspaper articles recently have brought to mind the parable of the five high-schoolers who approached their parents one February with an idea to form a car pool.

  • Compassion trumps creed

    With the issue of religious belief now squarely introduced into the 2012 presidential campaign, it would be well for us to read again Article VI, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution: “(N)o religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”
    That seems crystal-clear to me.

  • Land letter on point

    Robert Land is right; there is no noise or speed control in our town.
    I live on a short street. On each end, there is a 25 mph sign with “children at play” on it. But it’s an Indy 500, especially with the church people. They are in a hurry to get there, and in a hurry to leave.

  • Promoting safe driving

    The winter months are rapidly approaching, and with them comes shorter and shorter daylight hours.

  • The noise pollution

    I would like to know what happened to Tahlequah.
    You used to be able to open your windows on a nice day or evening. Those days are gone forever, with the boom boxes, and the altered exhaust mufflers on vehicles. With these vehicles on the roads, you can’t open your windows. It is so relaxing when it wakes you up at 2 a.m., when the bars close.

Poll

Where do you think bicycle trails are most needed in Cherokee County?

In the downtown corridor.
Not downtown, because it would be too congested, but on peripheral streets, like Bluff, Downing and College, and Muskogee but not downtown.
On the rural highways mainly in recreational areas, like Highways 10 and 82.
Only in special areas, like parks.
I do not think Cherokee County needs any (or more) bike trails.
