Open your park to me We should build the Meadowcreek Parkway [“Parkway Update: If the suit fits…,” Government News, March 1]. because it will give us access by foot to the park on two sides, whereas now there is none. The acreage taken for the road will be replaced by VDOT. We can redesign the […]

Cuccinelli is sending a message that state colleges should think twice before fostering an environment hostile to academic and intellectual freedom.
Assault on some gun facts It is amazing how many ways that Dan Catalano can be misleading or wrong in “Gun Crazy” (Odd Dominion, January 25). Just to even things up a bit I’d like to slip in a few facts and a couple observations. Fact #1: California is also in the Top 10 states […]
Freedom’s call I was just reading your article “Gun Crazy” by Don Catalano [Odd Dominion, January 25] and was stunned to hear how liberal Virginia is relative to gun laws. It is truly disgusting. My wife and I attended the screening of the film Freedom Riders last week at the Paramount. It was amazing to […]
Big box, big impact Erika Howsare: I appreciated your “mea culpa” in the “Green Living” column of December 28, about the US29 North corridor. The US29 North Corridor is in fact our region’s main commercial boulevard, all pluses and minuses aside. Shopping local is indeed a great idea as many of our local area businesses […]
I was very disappointed by the December 21 Green Living column, “When to discourage housecats’ hunting?” It’s totally inappropriate in a green column to support the unnecessary killing of wildlife to allow for the “emotional fulfillment of the pets.” Our wildlife is struggling enough to survive due to loss of habitat.

Creature discomfort I like dogs and most other animals, but I don’t like cats. Nevertheless, my neighbors make sure that I don’t lack for cat company.

In […]
Goal: no coal So at the cutting edge charging stations of the future, the driver will be able to re-charge their electric car in about a half-hour, that is, if no one were ahead of them in line [“Charge it,” November 16]. But, if it takes about a half hour to refuel, wouldn’t that mean […]
Money doesn’t grow on trees Regarding your article on Biscuit Run State Park [“Taxpayer State Park,” October 26], I read it once, skimmed it again and the only thing it seemed to be concerned with is MONEY. Almost every paragraph had dollars and math and all in a negative way. Let’s talk about what a glorious […]
