The virus has spread to at least 24 more countries, including the U.S. The entire city of Wuhan halted all transportation. Several cases in the U.S. have been report… Read the full story
Sirs: I am troubled by the state of affairs in what was the Model City. Cheers when not one but two councilmen are prosecuted, fill in a poll and send it to a columnist who most regularly trashes the city he covers. Stop all of that; there’s to be a new federal courthouse and, according to G… Read the full story
On Jan. 28, the Calhoun County Commission met with our local state legislators to provide them with an update in regard to our plans with the county jail. This meeting was strictly informational; that is to say, it was not a funding request, rather it was the commission keeping the legislatu… Read the full story
As an associate pastor at Anniston First United Methodist Church west of Quintard Avenue in downtown Anniston, I have become well-acquainted with Anniston’s homelessness crisis due to our location near various social service agencies, such as The Right Place and Interfaith Ministries, which … Read the full story

Re.: “Where is Calhoun County’s celebration of MLK Day?”
Last week’s Speak Out letters concerning the Robert E. Lee Birthday celebration at Janney Furnace was a little puzzling. One letter liked what Commissioner Eli Henderson was doing but complained about the Trump hats that were given to veterans. The other writer complained that there was too …
It would seem that if Mr. Marsh spent as much time and effort on improving the whole Anniston as he has on deannexation, it just might grow. In his position, and supposedly being a citizen of Anniston, you would think that it would be at the top of his agenda. But selective representation, a…
The mall is a great place to spend leisure time. You want to shop, eat at the food court, or see a movie at AmStar 12.
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” ( Psalms 9:17)
According to Gov. Kay Ivey, it’s better to take out a loan for education (that is what a bond is) that the taxpayers have to repay with interest instead of a yearly stream of free funding from a lottery.
President Trump should be voted out of office. His crassness belittles our highest office and weakens our standing in the world. Here are primary reasons:
Congress has gathered and presented its information to the Senate. The Senate’s job is to now determine if the Congress’s information meets the criteria for Trump to be impeached based on what Congress has presented to them … and nothing else.
A fair and just impeachment trial is the only honest and patriotic way to proceed. Witnesses must be heard and sincerely evaluated.
As a family of public servants (Anniston Fire Department), we are opposed to the de-annexation plan on the grounds that it would negatively impact our retirement pension plans. If the City of Anniston loses the majority of its tax revenue base, every City of Anniston retiree could lose their…
We have drivers on our roads who either don’t know the laws or don’t care about the safety of other drivers. Just the other day as I traveled from the 202 bypass across to join Highway 431, it was pouring down rain, my wife and I counted over 30 vehicles approaching us with no lights on. Thi…
This is a reply to the excuse that Billy Price offered for Donald Trump’s behaviors and speech (Letters, January 9). Contrary to what some may think, Christians who live in a tough culture are not exempt from godly behavior and wholesome speech. There are Christians around the world who are …
This is a response to a recent post where David Duncan called me out to list facts to support that Trump should be impeached, and that the Democrats saved our Democracy when they won the House in 2018.
I was wondering if some county commissioners and a few local representatives feel like it would be considerably important to honor and celebrate publicly the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It seems that great emphasis is placed on Robert E. Lee’s birthday here with numerous large new…
Confederate Memorial Park. My late husband had a personalized tour and spent time there with Eli Henderson. Dan came back with a positive spin and told me how much the park has to offer. I regret we never went back there together. When I saw this year’s invitation for Lee’s birthday party, …
This town is not “City of McClellan” nor is it “Oxford.” This town is ANNISTON with all its great residents and meaningful history.
Important! Come to the meetings scheduled by Senator Del Marsh to be held in Anniston next week.
It is time for the monument in front of the Cherokee County Courthouse to be retired and replaced with a new monument that will give equal honor to the sacrifices of all local service members who gave their lives for our country in World War I and World War II.
We live in a world today that abounds or is full of hate. This should never be. We as a country have been blessed beyond measure. It is only within ourselves can we change the world one person at a time. God’s people have turned away from Him. God is love, that is who He is. In 2 John 4:20-2…
