Walking through the mall, it’s slowly showing new life, undergoing renovations. Outside demolishings are taking place. The Hull Company that bought the property for $6.7 million saved it from closing. Read the full story
Narcs arrest dealers and users. They want to stop the suppliers and users. But, with hiring illegals, employers invariably receive a “get out of jail free card.” Read the full story
It was a sea of humanity at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham on the days of July 25-27. There were between 17,000 to 18,000 mostly teenagers gathered there from 42 states. The “Arena was Rockin” as 34,000 to 36,000 hands were lifted in passionate worship of God and joyous songs about Him. My … Read the full story

In my opinion, the de-annexation of Ward 4 must face the following four issues:
Another school year is upon us and I am sure all the kids could hardly wait for it to start. I just heard everyone laughing when they read that, but, kidding aside, I want to thank everyone who participated in our White Plains Over the Hill Gang Golf Tournament fundraiser at Pine Hill last m…
God himself raises up leaders who he desires in our country and all over the world. There is no demon in hell or man on earth can stop him. Daniel 2:20-22. (21) and he (God) changeth the times and the seasons. He removeth kings (leaders) and setteth (raises) up kings (leaders). He giveth wis…
I am perplexed in trying to understand this moronic effort to de-annex Ward 4 from the city of Anniston. As I understand it, a local Insurance/Real Estate Attorney Charles Turner, who resides in Ward 4, along with a "handful" of other residents of Ward 4 have successfully created a "nonprofi…
If there were true Jeffersonian Democrats around and running for political office today, I would be eager to vote for them. There might be some at the local level or state level somewhere, however, they are overshadowed by the Democrats at the national level running for president and some in…
People talk negatively about scouting, but I think very differently.
Regarding de-annexation, as proponents race to build up treasures on earth, others are, hopefully, checking their moral compasses. Increasing home values can be very tempting, but is it the right thing to do when others may be hurt in the process?
Dear World: We humans must not fear ourselves.
Lead-butt DNA is writing America’s epitaph.
I, Rose Mary Tolliver-Munford, am a native resident of Anniston. A place that has a history of multiple legacies, which played an important part in the catalytic building of the Democracy of America that we benefit from today. I have read many of The Anniston Star publishings regarding the h…
While I am not involved in Anniston’s problems, I am interested in what happens to my county seat. I am hopeful that what happens will be best for Anniston.
A new federal courthouse, completion of the Chief Ladiga Trail, Freedom Riders monument and possible museum, the Coldwater mountain biking trail, etc. How many people from Anniston want to miss out on being a part of all of these big things that are going to be happening?
I feel hurt and saddened personally by the proposal being pushed by the Forward 4 All organization. Not only have I lived in Anniston since I was born some 89-plus years ago, but I am proud to be a great-grandson of one of its founders, Samuel Noble. I feel that this proposal is an insult to…
From USA Today, July 26, 2019: "... three Ole Miss students posed smiling and toting guns in front of this bullet-riddled Emmett Till memorial sign in Tallahatchie County. Their fraternity has suspended them, and federal authorities are examining the incident."
I want to commend our newspaper carrier, Kim Barron, on the wonderful job she does delivering our papers. Because we subscribe to other newspapers as well as The Anniston Star, she delivers daily. We appreciate her work ethic and the notes letting us know when a substitute will be delivering…
On July 11, ALDOT held a public meeting in Alexandria concerning an Access Management Study on Highway 431 going thru Alexandria. The meeting was well-attended by residents and business owners concerned about the dangerous situation that is Highway 431.
Re Michael Gerson column, April 7:
I would just like to take a moment to say “Thank You” to Mr. Anthony Cook for what a great job he is doing as the editor of the Anniston Star. His commentaries always bring a sense of calm to the complexities of the city government while at the same time always emphasizing the positives such…
Writer and adventurer Wil Elrick recently made a presentation on Alabama history focusing on fun, interesting and weird topics at the Public Library of Anniston and Calhoun County. Elrick enjoys researching the state’s unusual history filled with legends and lore, Native American culture, ta…
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: George Smith’s family sends ‘thank you’ to first responders, medical officials
Life to death. These three words have new meaning for our family since the recent passing of George Smith. No longer is it the time that begins at birth, but rather the last day or moment you spend with a love one who dies. The last “I love you” before sleep or the brief hug walking out the …
I read all the time in this great paper that Alabama is always looking for some more cash. Well, here’s three ideas that’ll make this great state wealthy.
So the state of Alabama got caught writing off murders as suicides and rapes as consensual sex and what do they plan on doing? Raising guards pay, hire more guards and bring better healthcare and a better mental health system.
