Ken Boyd’s stated desire for more growth ("Out in the backyard," Government News, October 9, 2007) is further proof of this supervisor’s unwillingness to think realistically and sufficiently broadly about issues facing Albemarle County. Developers like growth because they profit from it. For the rest of us, growth requires more schools, roads, police and other […]

Concerning your article "Double H farmers busted for selling pork" [Government News, October 2, 2007], the arrest of Richard Bean and Jean Rinaldi has nothing to do with food safety and everything to do with culture and politics. The question all consumers should be asking is this: Why is it legal for corporate factory farms […]
This letter is in response to the Curtain Calls write-up about my involvement with this year’s Spirit Walk [“Watch and learn,” September 25, 2007]. The reference to community theater and Waiting for Guffman was a joke that, in print, could be misconstrued without context to be hurtful and alienating to theater groups in our area. […]
I just want to say a personal thank you for a very well-written, beautiful article [“Group works to diversify teaching pool,” Government News, September 18, 2007]. We strongly believe that our program will benefit the youth in our area. Diversity works positively for everyone.Thanks so much, again.

Thank you for the article on the project proposed for the current RSC site at West Main and Ridge/McIntire [“City ‘asks’ for more affordable housing,” Development News, September 4, 2007]. You were very diplomatic in your article when you addressed the city’s “request“ that the developer contribute more. Perhaps that is the mark of a […]
Why did you distract readers with a cruel and unnecessary reference to corrections officers being fat slobs among the first few sentences in your story on Andy Block?
I tried calling in these thoughts to The Rant, but they never got published. So this is a second try to get across and I don’t care whether it’s published or not. First, I want to say that the Rants column is super. Where else can you read unvarnished comments from the people on the […]
If the Republicans and right-leaning voters listened to the philosophy of evangelical Christian and UVA educator Charles Marsh ["Prof to evangelicals: quit politicking," UVA News, July 31, 2007], we would lose every election from hereon everafter! Please keep the history of the Christian Left alive in any of your articles and interviews as you prepare […]
Thank you for your recent feature article on Community Food Systems ["Food fights," July 10, 2007]. I wanted to provide additional information aimed at strengthening our community-based food system (and national security too). Your article described well the benefits of local foods. You asked, "Seem confusing?" Not really. You are what you eat, and everyone […]
