Here come the Sons Regarding your question whether Sons of Bill has what it takes to make it [“No country for old men,” June 16]: Yes! They have what it takes to make it. Finally something new, different, original and exciting. “Something real, something with a cure…” as one of Sam’s songs goes. Their music […]
Poetry free for all I am writing to thank you for publishing Sam Witt’s very fine article on poetry [“Who cares about poetry, anyway?” May 26]. Not only does it showcase the many talented local folks with national—and international—reputations but it also proves that poetry is one of the most democratic and accessible genres. During […]
Buried alive? When I read the article about revisiting the Crozet Master Plan [“Residents and staff begin Crozet Master Plan revision,” Development News, June 2], I could see the handwriting was already on the wall. Mike Marshall of CCAC says Crozet is “willing to take a lot of growth…” Good thing there is a survey […]
The long view Regarding “Downtown Mall finally gets a new lease on life” [Government News, May 12]: I would rate it SUPERB! I have never seen men work so hard and accomplish so much in my 88 years of life. They were always polite and always very hard working. I salute them. Easter Mary Berryman […]
The art of words Thank you to Jayson Whitehead for covering developments in the current plans for the Old Crozet Elementary School [“Could Crozet Elementary be reborn as an arts academy?” Development news on c-ville.com, May 12]. A couple of clarifications: The photo of the building that appears in C-VILLE is not the Old Crozet […]

There is no question in my mind that someone structured this as a lease to purposely get around the state law requiring a “super” majority. I think this is a very good law to require […]
Brew masters It was a real honor to open up C-VILLE [“More power to them,” April 28] and see myself listed as an up-and-comer in the local food and eats scene! Recognition is always so gratifying, and it was such a treat to have that surprise this week. I felt a little bad, though, the […]
Ho ho ho You ask, “Did the Assembly do the right thing” in refusing Fed Funds [“Virginia politics must be over-stimulated,” The Odd Dominion, April 28]?: Bravo, General Assembly! I, for one, am proud of our great Commonwealth for standing up and saying “No thanks” to the Fed and even prouder still that we set […]
Thanks for writing a fair article regarding the tea party [“Hundreds protest federal spending on Tax Day,” Government News, April 21]. Much to my dismay, our new President is turning out to be a severe disappointment. It is now abundantly clear that he had absolutely no fiscal experience in the real world prior to becoming […]
Free lunch I am responding to a rant in the April 7 issue of C-VILLE regarding our local Meals on Wheels program receiving stimulus money from the federal government. While I cannot speak for any Meals on Wheels organization but our own, I can assure any and all concerned citizens that Meals on Wheels of […]
