N.C. TREASURER IS RIGHT TO OPPOSE SALE OF STADIUM
To the Editor:
N.C. Treasurer Dale Falwell was quoted in the W S Journal that he wasn’t in favor of WSSU [Winston-Salem State University] having Bowman Gray Stadium. Mr. Falwell said he didn’t think the students should have to pay for the stadium by raising their fees. I agree with Mr. Falwell, and I hope the State will never approve of such a deal.

Explicitly violent, mostly realistic images should not be on billboards
To the Editor:
The “Woods of Terror” billboards are obscene. Fairway, please remove and reimburse Woods of Terror now if they do not have a decent graphic for their event. We ought not see these explicitly violent, mostly realistic images of children or adults again – promoting this or anything else, anywhere. Thank you for removing the image from the billboard this week on eastbound Business 40 toward Kernersville.
Hellen Wilson Kernersville
Note: The Woods of Terror on Church Street in Greensboro is a haunted house featuring 15 attractions in one location.
Lawmaker voted ‘no’ on another GOP attack on women’s health care
To the Editor:
Just days after the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, my Republican colleagues are wasting time re-litigating a woman’s constitutionally protected right to comprehensive health care instead of addressing gun violence in America. I voted against H.R. 36 because this debate was settled by Roe vs. Wade in 1973 and now we’re just wasting time. With each passing day without action, nearly 100 people die from gun violence nationwide. When is enough, enough?
U.S. Rep. Alma Adams (NC-12) Washington, D.C.
Note: Adams released her statement Tuesday, Oct. 3 after voting against H.R. 36, the so-called “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.” H.R. 36 creates a ban on abortions performed after 20 weeks of gestation, criminalizing doctors, disproportionately affecting low income women and women of color, and marginalizing victims of sexual assault and trauma. North Carolina currently has a 20 week ban in effect.
