Letter to the Editor: Thank you, Lake Country

Dear Editor,As you may know, Georgia Writers Museum (GWM) has been closed since June for renovations.

Letter to the Editor: Angered by the editor

Mr. Ian Tocher, The “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” which irrationally has affected the souls of so many “Dems,” manifested itself loud and clear in your petty article titled “Putting presidential pressure on the PRESS Act.” (The Eatonton Messenger, Nov. 28, 2024, A4).

Rich: The good publisher

In today’s newspaper world, one person works for two or three.They sleep less, drink much coffee, and rarely have time to fellowship with co-workers.I used to say that I believed one of the hardest jobs is that of a manicurist -- slumping over a small, white table and working relentlessly.

Tocher: Putting presidential pressure on the PRESS Act

By now, President-elect Donald Trump’s cries of “fake news” have become far too commonplace in a nation that once prided itself as a bastion of free speech and transparency in government.

Crane: Stop the squeal

Four years ago, at about this same time, I was repeatedly telling many of my Trump-supporting, GOP, and conspiracy-leaning friends to please give up the top the Stealcrap. President Donald Trump lost the election.

Rich: A Thanksgiving review

Something someone said about all the Thanksgiving that her eyes have seen made me think about a couple of holidays.In the mountains, it was always the tradition to kill a fattened hog after the first hard freeze so people could store the meat cold in their smoke houses.

Yarbrough: A reminder of remarkable accomplishment

My bucket list is not only complete but also runneth over. My portrait of the Beloved Woman Who Shared My Name now hangs in the Wellstar School of Nursing at Kennesaw State University, where she received her degree at 45. That’s correct.

Crane: A vote for the Electoral College

Our founding fathers were certainly not perfect, but the “American experiment” of a constitutional republic still looks pretty good to me.Like many foundations of our government, the Electoral College was a compromise after the framers of our Constitution debated for many months.

Rich: The homemade dress

One of the privileges of our blessed life is the interesting people we meet, from carpenters to old-timey moonshiners to movie stars and country music legends.A beautiful woman who recently crossed our path is the daughter of Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman. Notice that I listed Ms. Woodward first.

Tocher: Looking forward to the future?

I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to gasoline at $2 per gallon and my car insurance rate being cut in half. Those are just a couple of the benefits Donald Trump promised if only we voted him back into office as president.
