To the Editor: This past week the Caldwell County Commissioners grappled with two items that may not seem connected but they are. One is the Walton Development in the northwest part of the county. The other is the 130 Environmental Park. How, you asked, are these connected? Both of these projects, albeit in different ways, [...]

To the Editor: In the past two weeks have begun seeing Fall Armyworms in pastures in the southern and far eastern parts of Caldwell County. It would be a good idea to take a walk out into your pastures and look for evidence of Fall Armyworms now before they get a chance to develop and [...]

By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER   They finally did it. I never thought that they would actually do it, but our so-called leadership actually did it. Our leaders got so involved in their own motives and means, they became so dedicated to their own lines in the sand, that they actually triggered a “government shutdown.” I’m [...]

Reader stands against landfill proposal To the Editor: I am writing in regards to the proposed SH130 Environmental Park being brought to our community by Green Group Holdings, LLC, and the recent articles published in this paper. As a nearly three-year resident of Lytton Springs I am very disturbed about this proposed development. As a [...]

On the one hand, I get that it’s confusing, but on the [...]

Open Letter to the Citizens of Caldwell County: I have decided not to run for a third term as Caldwell County Criminal District Attorney. After hours of conversations with my family, friends and colleagues, I have decided that it is time to move in a different direction, and I made the announcement to my staff [...]

By Kathi Bliss Editor/POST-REGISTER I was forced to consult the giant Webster’s Dictionary behind my desk again this week, when I started wondering if I really understood the meaning of a word that I hear bandied about quite a bit. That word is “transparency,” and it appears to be a favorite word among politicians. What [...]

To the Editor: I would like to thank two individuals who went out of their way to help my son after a bicycle accident near the soccer fields on Thursday, July 25. Around 4:30 p.m. last Thursday, my son Jordan was out for a bike ride with his sister, a friend and me. He had [...]

To the Editor: I was very saddened by the article where the local Baptist church ousted the Boy Scouts after a 20-year relationship because the Boy Scouts of America apparently adopted a new policy to allow homosexuals into their organization. Strikes me as the opposite of “What Jesus Would Do.” What happened to “Judge Not [...]
