Letters to the Editor

I read last week’s “letters to the editor “and felt depressed.  There seems to be so much division and misunderstanding in our town right now. It’s like a microcosm of what’s happening throughout the country. I moved  to Water Valley with my husband nine and a half years ago from New Orleans.  When I first…

Dear Editor, After much thought and debate I have made the decision at this time not to open Wagner Grill House in Water Valley. With this letter, I will try to give you a better understanding of why I had to make this decision.  I envisioned our restaurant project to be very adventurous by taking…

Dear Editor, Clearly, the “old guard” in city government is less than willing to consider new approaches to the business of running Water Valley.  Obstruction was the order of the evening at last Tuesday’s Board of Aldermen meeting – not only from elected officials but from city employees as well. Here are several examples that…

I appreciate the respect that Jaime Harker showed to Jesus and the Scriptures in her recent article promoting Violet Valley Bookstore, and her points are well taken about true Christian love.  But I believe she left out some important things that result in misleading assumptions.   She quoted from Galatians 3:28.  Galatians 3:27-29 speaks of salvation…

Some of the memories I have as a child were coming home from school each day and watching episodes of The Little Rascals and Three Stooges. As I watched these intellectually-stirring examples of television history, I also partook of the tasty treats better known as Ding Dongs. The combination of these tasty treats and educational…

Editor:    The new mayoral contest provides us with the opportunity to reflect on what  kind of town we want to have. In part the question might be, do we want Water Valley to be a home or  a destination.    For instance in the current paper, I see that Mr. Warren, if he gets…

Dear Editor, There seems to be the following sentiment circulating through Water Valley.  It goes something like this:  “I hope ‘they’ are happy about (or do not later regret) Mr. Hart’s resignation.”  Since there was never a secret cabal known as “They,” one can only assume this sentiment refers to citizens of our community asking…

Letter To The Editor, I would like very much to express to the Water Valley High School my sincere thanks for adopting Dickinson, Texas High School as the recipient of donated school supplies in the wake of the devastation of Hurricane Harvey. For a group of young people that spent hours of their time collecting…

Letter to Editor: Subject: Maxx South, Water Valley T.V. Cable Provider    Maxx South Television provider to Water Valley has systematically taken Mem-phis television stations off our cable selection system. Over a short period of time, they have eliminated Channels #3, #8.5, and #13 from our programming, that’s ABC, NBC and CBS out of Memphis.…

Letter to the Editor of the North Mississippi Herald and to concerned parents and citizens of the Water Valley School System:    It has just recently come to my attention that the band program at the school has been eviscerated by an anti-music superintendent and a bamboozled school board. I would like to note that…
