Commissioners should reconsider mask requirement

Commissioners turn their backs on science

I have decided to not be affiliated with any political party.

I have watched the protests in Washington, D.C., then the breaching of the Capitol building. I hear Joe Biden saying that this is not us.

A court ruling ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to restore the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program back to its original 2012 form. For more than three years, thousands of eligible young immigrants have anxiously waited to apply for deportation protection an…

I read a quote by the influential Irish statesman and philosopher Edmund Burke who said that “Rage and frenzy will pull down more in half an hour than prudence, deliberation, and foresight can build up in a hundred years.” Burke also wrote, “Those that do not know history, are destined to re…

United Way of Northwest Georgia's update on COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund

I was not prepared to have a text from the son of my best friend from college saying “He fought a good fight, always. It was an honor being his son and to witness him go to heaven.” So, it was on Monday, Aug. 31, 2020, as Hubert Andrew Marsh Sr. passed to life eternal.

Thanks to the community for helping to feed children in need

Clueless Trump

Vote knowing the whole truth

This is the final countdown. Sunday, July 26, marked just 100 short days until Election Day 2020. For Joe Biden’s confused and anemic campaign, 100 days is the beginning of a desperate lurch to the finish line. For the president, it’s a different story.

If you were born between 1930 and 1970, you've heard of polio. You may even know someone who had it. Parents dreaded the arrival of summer as it was easily spread in areas where children congregated and there was no cure, with lasting damage to the muscles and limbs.

Whitfield County is fortunate to have election officials like Mary Hammontree, her staff and our elections board to oversee the process locally.

After 155 years we are still fighting The Civil War.

This is for our city of Dalton leaders. Please use past history to help draw up the new garbage/rubbish pickup.

As someone who did not grow up in Georgia, I am no expert on Civil War history. However, as someone who has called Dalton home for the past 34 years it really bothers me to see what is happening here right now.

We had just come from the doctor. It was cancer with nothing left to do except pray and wait. The doctor didn’t think home health or hospice was needed yet, but the mother of this 48-year-old, special needs child did need help, and that help came in the person of Annalee Harlan who, when she…
