Sound Off

Sound Off is a recurring feature appearing in the Wednesday and weekend editions of The News Courier. Those wishing to sound off should email comments to NewsCourierSoundOff@gmail.com. Published entries cannot be longer than 100 words. Entries exceeding that amount will be edited for space and content. Please keep in mind the following: Not all items sent to the Sound Off column are published. Items that mention a person or business by name are discarded unless the person mentioned is a public figure and the item is not a personal attack on that person. Items that have not been published within one month are typically discarded.
