I am appalled at the lack of respect and support Steve Jenkins receives from his fellow Town Council members, including the mayor.

The world can be a very confusing place for many folks. So it’s comforting to know we have a really smart guy around like Sen. Barack Obama.

The No. 1 economic threat to this nation and our well-being is the price of a gallon of gas.

It seems to me Councilman Steve Jenkins needs to find something to do.

All the testimony of the numerous co-workers brought forward to support former Superintendent David Cox has become an embarrassment to the School Board and the county.

The first regional bowl-for-seniors event, held at the new Mountain Run Bowling Center in the Culpeper Town Mall June 22, was a huge success.

The Brandy Station Lions Club would like to say thank you to all those businesses and individuals who donated to our projects or helped us last year.

I read with interest George Morris’ July 10 letter to the editor, “Old School Board handcuffed new one.”

I would like to thank all of the people who helped make the ninth annual Culpeper Renaissance July 4th Car & Bike Show a success

There are crews of young people from area churches staying at Floyd T. Binns Middle School working on area houses as part of Impact Virginia, a missions program. 

People still don’t get it.

You really gave me a good laugh with the last paragraph of Tuesday’s staff editorial, “Yowell Elem. will not open on time.”

On behalf of Culpeper Human Services, I would like to thank Full Circle Thrift for its generous donation.

It’s a shame when the rich have everything they will ever need, but still can never have enough money. 

Gasoline prices are causing concern for every American today, and America needs to completely explore all options with a common sense approach. 

Seems like the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors is rushing the Culpeper Utility Partners decision.

Why did the Culpeper County School Board meet at a retreat in another county?

I have recently read a few articles and letters about the wonderful economies under some of our past presidents.

Does anyone find it strange that illegals can live in our town, demand everything our tax dollars can afford them, and give back nothing ... without any conditions?

I am imploring the public to please be patient with the workers out there doing their jobs.

To the two men who drove through my lawn at approximately 1:30 Tuesday morning, I request this:

While I read Bob Beard’s July 5 guest column twice and found it to say not much of anything, at least he is addressing the public.

Congressman Eric Cantor’s push for offshore oil drilling is a dangerous distraction from the real energy crisis. 

Kudos to Mr. Callahan for his July 8 letter, “Congress must act to reduce oil prices.”

The community has spoken and it’s furious.

On behalf of the volunteers, staff and board members, I would like to thank our many patrons and donors

The community has spoken and it’s furious.

I can save health officials — who are still trying to pinpoint the exact cause of the recent salmonella outbreak that has sickened more than 800 people in 36 states —both time and money. It’s the meat! 

Whether from official comment or individual capacity, the apologists for David Cox’s termination as school superintendent are experts at “blowing smoke.”

Kudos to all involved in this year’s Fourth of July celebration in Culpeper!
