To the Editor: Recently, U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry issued a communication to exceptional schools in the U.S. that support public diplomacy efforts by hosting high school exchange students sponsored by the U.S. Department of State.

Letter to the Editor: Negatives of Income Equality

To the Editor: I for one, and completely thankful for an income gap in society. Hard work, innovation and that all important "Stick-to-itivness" allows people to come from a challenged background and succeed. It is the communist ... er ... democrat buzz phrase that the income gap is a concept that is to be loathed and even feared. I cannot begin to mention the myriad people that have come to this great and prosperous nation with the clothes on their back and a dream in their God-given souls, only to rise above the endless challenges placed before them. My grandparents came here with nothing and instilled into their children concepts that are wholly unknown to some entire segments of today's leech society.

Letter to the Editor: Seeds of Success Are Sown

To the Editor: The recent settlement agreement between the Old Dominion Boat Club and the city is cause for celebration.

Someday in the near future a visitor at the foot of King Street will never again have to ask “where's the water” while a new state of the art Boat Club facility will rise out of the flood plain replacing the Beachcomber eyesore.
