PRINCEVILLE — It is a shame, the way The Daily Southerner stoop so low to continue to support and promote bad publicity for these two unruly, difficult and disorderly commissioners;

Commissioners Ann Howell and Gwendolyn Knight. They are the main ones causing division, trouble and embarrassment to the Town of Princeville. Let's not leave out the Corrupt Concerned Citizens Group, chaired by former Mayor Delia Perkins. They are all in this corruption together. They act like little disobedient children.

The Daily Southerner only eating this up for the money to sell newspapers. Have these corrupt people forgot what this town stands for?

This new administration, Mayor Priscilla Everette-Oates, Commissioner Isabelle Andrews and Commissioner Calvin Sherrod, is only trying to help this town grow and make new changes for the next millennium.

They want to provide jobs for our citizens and for our children to pick up where we leave off. They want to make Princeville a better place to live in and a place where we can be glad to call our home. They want to bring the water costs and taxes down. They only been in office for eight months, and they have accomplish more than the former board done in four years.

Please click on www.townofprinceville.org and see for yourselves what they have done.

I am glad and proud to stand up for this new administration. The corrupt former administration and The Daily Southerner never want to admit to the good things that are going on in Princeville.

Mayor Everette-Oates, Commissioner Isabelle Andrews and Commissioner Calvin Sherrod, any weapons form against you will not prosper. They are loved by the majority of the citizens and they are covered by the Blood of Jesus.

General public needs education on rights of bicyclists, sharing the road
In last week’s paper there was an article about bicycling. I think first of all the general public needs to be educated about the rights of bicyclists and sharing the road.

A thief at large
To the Editor:
A glorious day was marred by a pickpocket, stealing from an eldery lady enjoying the day at the Happening on the Common on Saturday.

Remembering Betty Perrin NeSmith
Betty Perrin NeSmith was a force of nature. I hate the past tense, but it's the grammar we use when someone dies‚ Im just not sure it's the grammar Betty would use when thinking about death. She is moving on, with things to do. She was looking for a higher plane even while grounded on this earth, and I'm happy to think of her still searching out there in the other worlds.

A great example of poor judgment
TO THE EDITOR: I was having breakfast at a restaurant last week when I was asked, What do you think of the new police chief selection? I responded with, Who did they choose? Thats when I was given the devastating news it wasn't one of our own.

Who looks after our parks?
To the Editor:
There are so many wonderful aspects of living in a small town like Tarboro; we have opportunities to participate in improvement programs in gardening, home restoration courses, weight loss, summer recreation, wholesome weekend events, some of which are free, and many more that meet the interests of our residents, such as the upcoming free concert on our Town Common by the North Carolina Symphony. There’s a “Trap, Neuter, Return” organization to keep the feline population in-check. Check out the calendar page of the Daily Southerner and you will be informed of opportunities for all ages.

Thanks from United Way
To the Editor:
A remarkable group of more than 175 citizens came together recently to celebrate a major accomplishment for the communities in Edgecombe and Nash Counties. The joy was palpable at the Champions’ Luncheon as the United Way Tar River Region affirmed that the ambitious goal of raising more than $1.26 million has been reached! There was a collective sigh of relief in knowing that funds will be available to continue support for the growing number of needs in our local neighborhoods.

It's always sad to see a piece of history fade away.

To the Editor:
A recent news story about the Montford Marines honors the important and too-often forgotten group of men. However, some of the statements in the story were wrong and need correction.
