They&#8217;re going to get 3 &#8220;civilians&#8221; to add to their editorial board. I think it&#8217;s a\u00a0 great idea to get other viewpoints&#8230; do you think Steve Kaylor &amp; Robert Benson would ever do the same for the Danville Register &amp; Bee? The same company does own both newspapers.<\/li>\n<li>So whatever happened to that &#8220;claim&#8221; of people getting &#8220;arsenic blisters&#8221; from the Dan River? Nothing. Nothing at all to it, but it did show more of the ignorance and hysteria that is still out there. My head exploded when I read one person trying to claim that coal ash was radioactive.<\/li>\n<li>The Harvest Jubilee Concert Series started this past Friday night with Billy Currington in concert at the Carrington Pavilion. I&#8217;ve heard very little feedback from anybody that went. Was there any other local media coverage about it? Don&#8217;t look at me. Not my style.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m looking forward to the Danville Braves minor league baseball season this year. Their first home game is Wednesday night at Dan Daniel Park.<\/li>\n<li>Schools are starting on August 11th? Way to hit those 90 degree days and make everybody sweaty and miserable to start the school year!<\/li>\n<li>Am I really hearing some rumblings about somebody new for the mayor&#8217;s seat in Danville? I&#8217;m not surprised nor am I displeased with this&#8230; if it&#8217;s true. Looks like we&#8217;ve got some investigation to do this week.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;re old when you remember Mason&#8217;s department store in Danville.
