Old Glory at Florence High School/Publicity?

A regular reader has asked us to comment on the condition of the U.S. flag at Florence High School. It seems the flag has seen better days and needs to be replaced. We frequently see such flags over the entire Shoals area. Does your business or home fly a tattered symbol of our country?

A few weeks ago, a representative of Sweetwater Mansion began a blog in which she made various claims about local citizens, all individuals who had criticized the current condition of that estate. At least four local people, none of whom is connected with this blog at this time, have been accused of various crimes from child abuse to pornography.

Such false accusations are usually better left unanswered, but since this seems to be an ongoing attack, we wished to set the record straight. Of the three accused of working here, none of them does at this time. We would be happy if any or all of them wished to write for us as a regular member of our blogging team or as a guest contributor.

The fourth person has been accused of child neglect and abuse. He has also been accused of stalking the director of Sweetwater. According to an attorney one of the four consulted, this gentleman has grounds for a civil lawsuit. It's possible the other three do also.

If any readers have any questions about Sweetwater's history, its current owner, or its current problems, we suggest they refer to this blog:
