OQ=FEEDBACK GRAPHIC. < (END SOT) called a Christmas tree, not a holiday

tree.

A Floyd viewer (Cynthia Babb)
said: "The United States of America was
founded on Christian principles. The
Christmas tree is a symbol of that
tradition. I guess the next thing will
be to call a menorah a "holiday
candelabra".

"I am so sick of the
oversensitive wackos and the game of
'playing with words'. If the mayor or
anyone else doesn't want to celebrate
Christmas then let them send their
gifts back, work that day for regular
pay and don't dare open a Christmas
card." (Richard Kiser, Salem).

"It should be called a Christmas
tree since Christmas is the celebration
of Christ's birth. If you take Christ
out of it what's the point of having a
tree at all? (Eleanor
Keith/Wytheville).

"It's a Christmas tree for crying
out loud. I don't recall ever hearing
or seeing a Hanukkah or Kwanzaa tree.
What's next, 'Advanced-Sized Holiday
Figure' for Santa Claus?" (Mike
Lindsey/Rural Retreat).

But other voices refused to join
the chorus.

"You the media have created an
issue out of nothing. It does not
matter what the tree is called; each
person can enjoy it depending on their
beliefs." (Melanie
McCallister/Roanoke).

"On a day in which ten US

(troops) died in Iraq, thousands died
of hunger from Sudan to Bangladesh, and
tens of thousands remain homeless in
our own nation from Hurricane Katrina,
surely there is more significant news
to report than the name of a tree."
(Stephen Darr/Blacksburg).

letters about the issue, just go to our

Yellow Jackets vs. Maroons Page Moir's team loss for the :00 first time this season last night
against Virginia Wesleyan.

Early on, Josh Laporte drives
into the paint and misses the jumper,
but gets it right back for the second
chance bucket to give the Maroons a two
point lead midway thru the first half.

But the Yellow Jackets didn't go
quietly. Phil Hawley grabs an
offensive rebound and gets the
stickback and the harm, converting the
old fashioned three point play.

With time winding down in the
first *CG final Randolph-Macon half, Laporte kicks it out to A-J 71 Dowell who spins and nails the 17 Roanoke footer. But Macon came back to win it 61 71 to 61.
