Letter to the Editor: Taylor Black Cemetery - Culture, Heritage, Identity - A story of Restoration
Over 100 years of history buried in one area and no one barely even remembers it or knows it is there. As a community it is our job, nay, our responsibility to look after our own heritage because if we won’t do it, then how can we charge the task to someone else and expect satisfactory results.
Letter to the Editor: Loose and wild dog problem in Lenoir County and in particular La Grange
Dear Mr. Mayor and Town Council: I am writing in regard to the loose/wild dog problem in Lenoir County and in particular La Grange. About 2 weeks ago, my neighbor’s cat was mauled by 2 dogs we believe are owned by people who live down the street. These 2 dogs ran across my back deck late one night and nearly killed my neighbor’s cat which I tried to stop from happening
Letter to the Editor: Councilman Suggs has right concerns, wrong solutions
On the day City Council Member Chris Suggs’ Op-Ed appeared in Neuse News, I received no less than a dozen calls or texts from people upset about his suggestions on what the city should do with our grant money. I told them Mr. Suggs identified the right needs, but he believes in the wrong solutions.
Letter to the editor: Hedge Funds Help Support Retired Police Officers
As a retired North Carolina State Trooper with 30 years of service, I know that law enforcement careers are rewarding — but also dangerous and challenging at times. That’s one of the reasons it’s critical to provide those going into law enforcement with the peace of mind that comes with financial security when they retire. One somewhat surprising source of that financial security comes through hedge funds.
Letter to the editor: Voter ID, confidence in Democracy
I’ve been concerned by what I believe many on both sides of the political spectrum would view as the loss of confidence in institutions at all levels of society. This loss of confidence applies to two definitions of the word; “The quality or state of being certain,” and “Faith or belief that one will act in a right, proper, or effective way.”
Letter to the Editor: Billy Davis, candidate for District 1 School Board
Primary day is almost here. I just want to take time and thank everyone for their support that they have shown me in the past the present and hopefully future.
Evelyn Coleman: Walk In Integrity
Just do what's right, not necessarily what's easy. Replace rapacity with a generous spirit. The old saying is true: "You cannot take it with you when you die."
Fundraiser to be held for Eagle Scout project

Letter to the editor: Between the lines, top high schools
One of the major factors in choosing where to live in the United States is the educational reputation. Many parents want academics while others select a school based on athletic history.
Letter to the Editor: We are fed up with crime
The people of Kinston/Lenoir county are fed up with crime and random shootings that haunt this city.
Letter to the Editor: Dan Perry -
With just a little insight and self-examination, we can see how we have gone adrift and are headed for a potentially fatal collision. In one sense we have already run into some “icebergs” that have damaged us to the point of causing not just a few leaks, but almost more than we can handle.
Letter to the editor: No religious Christmas stamps available at the post office this year
A few days ago, my wife went to the post office to pick up some Christmas stamps. Much to her surprise and dismay, the postal man said there were no Christmas stamps available this year, to which my wife retorted, “You mean you don’t have any Christmas stamps showing Mary and the baby Jesus! Nothing about the traditional manger scene or the wise men coming from afar to worship the newborn Savior of the world?”
An open letter to the LCPS School Board, Part 2: Board letter follow-up
“You have taken on a massive responsibility, and I believe you haven’t fully grasped the weight of that responsibility.
“I have done what I said I would do in my last letter to you. I took my daughter to school without a mask Wednesday. She was turned away citing the board ruled, but we were unable to get an answer as to what support the board used for the rule, or why. She is at home today without being able to attend school because of a rule you put in place, and because you wish to mask her in spite of clear and abundant information indicating and/or proving that masks 1, are not effective, and 2 create physical and psychological harm.
“I do intend to complete the rest of my promise to you, but please know I would rather not.”
Humphrey: Keeping Our Republic in a State of Emergency
Since March 2020, the Governor has been issuing edicts and mandates by way of unchecked, unilateral authority, the likes of which our state has never experienced. We in the legislative branch have heard from thousands of constituents who deem this behavior “unhealthy, unsafe, and undemocratic.”
