    It is still close to the start of the new year, and I believe  a good time to take a few moments to talk about some of the services that the Carrollton Fire Department offers.

  • Exercise program helps those with arthritis

    Editor:

    I wish to thank the Health Department and especially Rachel [Dermon] for allowing me to participate in the [arthritis] exercise program that is presented there.  It has helped me so much and taught me to cope with some issues with my health and agility problems. 

    My family thanks them, too, and makes sure I do not miss a class. We laugh a lot in this class and enjoy each other. Please know, this 83-year-old appreciates the programs – and Rachel, who pushes us to keep trying to excel.

  • Residents need to cleanup in Ghent

    Editor:

    I have some concerns about the way a few places here in the city of Ghent look. There are quite a few places that are an eyesore here. They are nasty-looking places, with trash scattered everywhere and in need of cleaning up. It is just an eyesore every time we go past them. There isn’t any sense in people living like hermits with trash.

  • Library looks ahead to 2013

    Now that 2012 has come to a close, I have been looking forward to 2013. I am just now getting accustomed to saying “twenty twelve,” and it seems to have happened just as a matter of course.  I didn’t say “twenty oh nine,” or even “twenty eleven.” But for some reason, “twenty twelve” was the tipping point. So naturally that will carry over into “twenty thirteen.”
