  • Bank earns thanks 
for its holiday spirit

    Editor:

    The staff and clients of the Carrollton Adult Day Training at NorthKey would like to thank Rita Power and her staff at River Valley Financial Bank for their generosity toward the ADT at Christmas. On Thursday, Dec. 20, the clients were treated to a pizza party and if that were not enough, the bank also provided a gift bag to each of the clients containing clothes, socks and candy.

    The ADT clients were very surprised and so appreciative that they were given such an unexpected gift. This is truly community service at its finest.

Through pure happenstance, one such family, the Howes, would become a major focal point of my research and ties to Carrollton.

  • It’s time to look at spiritual answers

    Editor:

    The tragedy of school shootings such as the most recent incident at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newport, Conn., is compounded by the predictably myopic focus of the responses to such incidents. The focus tends to be almost exclusively on debates regarding interpretations of the Second Amendment to our Constitution rather than upon the basic causes and prevention of violence in our nation. The focus should be expanded to issues such as the following:

    The spirit of Christmas doesn’t have to end Dec. 25. Champions for a Drug Free Carroll County sponsors two clubs for students, and we are learning that we definitely have better things to do than drugs. One if them is doing good deeds for others.
