To the Editor, As the new year begins, I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the group of ladies who donated so many volunteer hours to the Caroline Christmas Partners. The “Partners” is a new initiative started in 2014 to provide gifts for children who otherwise might not have anything to open on Christmas morning. The program was started as a support network to our
By Floyd Thomas Caroline Board of Supervisors Editor’s note: Floyd Thomas delivered the following State of the County address to the Caroline Rotary Club on Jan. 8. It has been edited for length. When we talk about the State of the County, we need to look at not only where we are but how we got here and most importantly, where we are going. We’ve been in slow recovery

To the Editor: Re: Richard C. Grimes, Sr.’s letter to the editor in the November 27, 2014, edition of The Caroline Progress. I understand Mr. Grimes anger and frustration at his signature being forged on the petition in support of the Chaney Mine at Moss Neck. I would also be angry if my signature was forged on a petition.
