Gingrich a front runner?

2012-01-25T16:43:24-05:00

A year ago not many people gave Newt Gingrich much chance of being president.

An exciting year so far at WSMS

I am an eighth grade teacher at West Stanly Middle and wanted to take the opportunity to share some of the highlights of our year.

Clean Tech has right to choose location

2012-01-16T11:28:23-05:00

I am writing in reference to Huck Huckabee’s letter to the editor.
First of all, I don’t think the working population has enough time in the day to wait around for an investigation on why Clean Tech did not take the offer of the Wiscassett Mills property.

Let them make the decisions they are being paid to make

I am not being critical of our school board or individuals who sit upon it. I am not advocating that redistricting is the best option nor am I opposed to it.

The company was never about creating jobs

I think Mayor Whitley’s offer of the Wiscassett Mills property to Clean Tech was a brilliant move. The Jan. 5 SNAP article noted that Steve Strickler of Clean Tech said the Wiscassett Mills property “… would not fit Clean Tech’s needs in terms of size and available infrastructure.”

It's Past Time To Look At Redistricting

Question: Where does the West Stanly School District start? Answer: Just past the little bridge on West Main Street in Albemarle just before Hinks Grill. Handi-Mart and Stanly Community College are also in the West District. The South District starts somewhere around Rock Creek Park.

Questions to Stanly County

2012-01-06T17:06:55-05:00

Over the past few months there has been a lot of public discussion concerning the ALCOA relicensing, the effort to locate CleanTech in Stanly County and the dollars spent by the Stanly County Commissioners on these two items

Postal Service needs greater flexibility for the new year

2012-01-06T12:08:09-05:00

As we look forward to the beginning of a new year, the Postal Service still needs Congress to make a basic choice: to permit USPS to function more as a business or to continue the constraints.

ALCOA and their available jobs were not run out of Stanly County

2012-01-06T12:05:45-05:00

It is my opinion that ALCOA made the choice to leave Stanly County which eliminated good paying jobs and benefits for its citizens after enjoying years of profitable business here. I am also very appreciative of the jobs ALCOA provided in the past.

Alcoa has been a great giver to Stanly County

Stanly County
I would like to inform the Stanly County manager and the commissioners that no one person owns the Yadkin-Pee Dee River. It is owned by the God of Heaven. And Alcoa’s dams have provided a great source of water to several counties.
