To the Editor: I read with interest the letter from the lady about our speed limits. Thinking about her comments about speed: My street is a cut off Cannon Boulevard to miss the red light at 64 West. The speed people drive on Riverview Drive and Carlisle is like the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. No children have been hit or killed yet. Animals are another thing...

To the Editor: I would like to respond to a July 29 letter, “Climate change” that questioned my letter of Jun 22. The person who wrote the “Climate change” letter displayed such a fundamental lack of understanding of climate science that the best advice I can give him is to start by Googling the website “What We Know” from the American Association for the Advancement of Science...

To the Editor: If climate change is so well documented as indicated in the June 22 Article "Climate change is scientifically documented" why did Lynn Goldfarb not point me to a few of the "massive amount of articles" that addressed the major causes of climate change(including CO2 emissions). ...

To the Editor: The Media Research Center (MRC) was founded 30 years ago to combat media bias. They are the most effective organization in America at exposing, confronting, and neutralizing the leftist media. As part of MRC, the media analyst monitors every major TV network, newspaper, and online news website in the USA...

To the Editor: What is wrong with Shelbyville? They have lowered all our speed limits. It used to be 40 miles an hour. We went through all the road work for years, just for them to lower the speed limit to 30 when it was done. On Madison Street they have now lowered it to 40 instead of 45...

To the Editor: "More research needed before climate change panic" (June 18) come from someone who admittedly has "no training in climate sciences." All of the best climate scientists around the world, ten of thousands of them (IPCC), are telling us it's definitely time to panic...

The term "fake news" gets thrown around like a football these days -- but I'm beginning to wonder if few people even understand what true "news" even is anymore. A case in point is a news item I posted to my Facebook page last week in response to what was at that time the latest spark in the infamous Shelbyville rumor mill: that someone had died from marijuana laced with fentanyl...

To the Editor: With the 2020 elections looming, it appears that the Democratic party is treating climate change as the greatest crisis this country faces in the coming years. Some politicians talk of 12 years and the crisis is unmanageable. What is absent in the USA and around the world is a scientific-based dialogue on this subject. ...

To the Editor: I recently received news from The Heritage Foundation that would be of interest to people living in Tennessee. President Trump and conservatives in Congress kept their promise to cut taxes for the American people. Now we have angry liberals claiming that taxpayers “do not want to keep their money.” Obviously they did not talk to this taxpayer! Heritage will use results of their ballot being sent out to make sure the public and lawmakers understand that the American people support lower taxes. ...

To the Editor: I am writing to respond to your notice “Electronic equipment stolen from church” Saturday, June 8, 2019, page 3A. We did have a break in about 9:00 in the morning by two boys. We call them “visitors.” They broke a window and stole a guitar some sound equipment and vandalized enough to destroy one security camera and some other electronic equipment...

To the Editor: The members and Board of Directors of the Senior Citizens Center would like to thank the Leadership Bedford Class of 2019, and all the sponsors for all their hard work on our new pavilion. This was no small undertaking for the Leadership Bedford class and they were tireless in their efforts, from getting sponsors, to making sure everything came off like clockwork...

To the Editor: I am grateful for everyone that supported or sponsored the Filed of Heroes these first five years and made it a great success, a vision and a dream fulfilled. The six months from January 1 until the day before the event were a very real struggle and a challenge being attacked from all sides. ...

To the Editor: Making America great again means recovering from Obama Administration. We no longer travel around the world apologizing for America. What we are finding out through Judicial Watch, The Heritage Foundation and Faith and Coalition is just how far liberals will go to obtain power. ...

To the Editor: According to an article published in the Tennessean on May 16, there are fifteen hospitals across Tennessee that are losing money and in danger of closing. One of these is Tennova Healthcare - Shelbyville. The same article noted that ten small-town hospitals in Tennessee have already been forced to close over the past several years, and documented the ill effects of these closures on the people in the counties affected...
