We are already heading into another election cycle. We just held a special election to fill the seat formerly held by the late Del. Ronnie Campbell and now plans are being made for the next elections. There will be no less than 25 local offices up for grabs in this fall’s elections.

Lady is a wiggly and silly pitbull mix. At approximately 2 years old and 50 pounds, she is already spayed, vaccinated and dewormed. She will be microchipped when adopted. Lady would do best in a home without other dogs. She adores people and is eager to please. She also has a reduced adoption fee. Visit her at the Rockbridge SPCA. 01/24/2023 11:00 PM
Storming The Castle
Storming The Castle
My copy of Prince H a r r y ’s memoir “Spare” arrived this past weekend. I have yet to crack the spine of the book, but I have read excerpts that bring to light an insider’s look at the lives of the not so merry wives of Windsor and their harried husbands. 01/24/2023 11:00 PM
Reasonable Childhood Independence Bill Backed
Reasonable Childhood Independence Bill Backed
Jan. 23, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: When we lived in Northern Virginia, my wife and I joked that neighbors might call Child Protective Services on us for letting our girls play in the front yard without us. That’s a sad sort of gallows humor for simply fostering independence in our kids. 01/24/2023 11:00 PM

Lee-Jackson Day Coverage ‘Sad Statement’
Lee-Jackson Day Coverage ‘Sad Statement’
Jan. 22, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: After enjoying the full coverage of the community’s Martin Luther King Parade in last week’s paper, it was surprising to turn the page and see a massive spread devoted to a step back in history. Apparently, The News-Gazette never received the news that our commonwealth abolished Lee-Jackson Day in 2020. 01/24/2023 11:00 PM

Coverage Of MLK Parade Appreciated
Jan. 22, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: Since I was not able to attend the MLK march on the 16th, I really enjoyed your photographic coverage of the event. The pictures really told the story: a huge turnout of local folks celebrating the progress toward justice we’ve made so far and committed to the ongoing work of righting age-old and persistent wrongs. It is great to see a full page of good news! Thanks to all those who organized these events. ANNE HANSEN Rockbridge Baths 01/24/2023 11:00 PM
Cline Not Fighting For Free, Fair Elections
Cline Not Fighting For Free, Fair Elections
Jan. 23, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: When Ben Cline was our Virginia state delegate, I met with him several times requesting his support of antigerrymandering legislation in Richmond. Although he acknowledged the tacit unfairness of politicians selecting their own voters, and claimed he would work to find a compromise, he never followed through. Instead, he fell in line with his political party and opposed any efforts to establish fair redistricting rules. Despite their stonewalling, a groundbreaking anti-gerrymandering law was passed by our state legislature, which now serves as a template for other states. 01/24/2023 11:00 PM
