Thanks, but drop the fuel charge

I would like to commend the workers of Cullman Electric Cooperative for restoring power quickly to Cullman County during the recent power outage. We were expecting to be without power much longer but due to hard work and long hours the workers restored our power in a timely manner.

Our electric bill reflects a fuel charge that was understandably added when the fuel cost was so high but now that fuel cost has dropped this fuel charge on our electric bill should be removed. During these times when we are having it hard just to make ends meet, why is the Cullman Electric Coop continuing to take advantage of us. This is just another way to put money in the pockets of the TVA.

  • Lady Broncos' coach/Lady Broncos

    We, as the Holly Pond Varsity Lady Broncos, would like to clarify a few comments published in a previous spread about our coach. It would be accurate to refer to him as a second father to all of us players.

  • Small random acts of kindness/Johnson

    Small random acts of kindness often have the largest impact. In this season we often spend large amounts of time and money trying to win favor with that perfect gift. Ceaseless hours are spent shopping online or in the mall often without success. This is a story of the perfect gift that has affected us all.

    I don't often say nice things about government or government employees. But, perhaps this doesn't count either.

    Teacher gifts are not the problem.
    Legislators need to get off the backs of elementary schools and attend to the bigger issues we are facing-greed and corruption in government.

  • Thank your child’s teacher!/Wright

    Thank your child’s teacher! On Dec. 7, the State of Alabama Ethics Commission issued a 26-page opinion on how the new Ethics law affects Alabama’s teachers. The area of the law that is receiving the most attention concerns appreciation gifts given to our children’s teachers.It is incredibly restrictive – and has simply gone too far!
