I had a brother who was at Pearl Harbor, and I now have a grandson in the U.S. Coast Guard stationed on the West Coast. I myself have been involved in trying to teach young people about patriotism. Through it all, I've had questions I've tried to answer. http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2008/08/25/0825editdavislet.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=10 http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2008/08/25/0825editdavislet.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=10 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT Concerning the trip to South Carolina by our elected city officials who used our money for rooms, food and gasoline, I have the following questions: http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2008/08/24/0824edithaffordlet.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=10 http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2008/08/24/0824edithaffordlet.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=10 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT The 2008 whitetail deer hunting season is upon us. I look forward to the archery and black powder hunting season that begins in early September. http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2008/08/24/0824editgoodman.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=10 http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2008/08/24/0824editgoodman.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=10 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT Members of the Pasquotank County Board of Elections could have simply said enough is enough and dropped its 5-month pursuit of the residency challenge filed against City Councilor Kirk Rivers. They had reason to. So far, in two appearances before Superior Court judges, Rivers' claim to his 4th Ward council seat has emerged intact. http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2008/08/23/0823editlacylet.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=10 http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2008/08/23/0823editlacylet.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=10 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT Sometimes I think "Our View" can't get it right for trying. Take Saturday's "Pooping the Party" for instance. Now I ask you, is that any way to talk about the home boys? Just because the mayor and all but two of the councilors went on all-expenses-paid rest and relaxation to Myrtle Beach, S.C., is no reason to get all fed up over a little ado about nothing. After all of the hard work they do, you'd think the denizens of River City would show some appreciation. http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2008/08/22/0822editkoerberlet.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=10 http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2008/08/22/0822editkoerberlet.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=10 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT It is very difficult to recruit people today to serve in public service. The issues they grapple with on behalf of the public, like managed growth, public safety, education and infrastructure funding have gotten more complicated with greater implications.
