THUMBS UP: To mail workers, volunteers and food bank staff for gathering food for the annual Stamp Out Hunger postal food drive today. A plastic bag designated for canned goods and other non-perishable food items should have arrived in your mailbox earlier this week. If you haven’t already, take a few moments to fill the bag with food and hang from your mailbox. If you didn’t receive the special Stamp Out Hunger bag, any plastic bag filled with food will do. This food drive helps feed thousands of South Georgians annually. Valdosta-Lowndes County often donates more food than nearly all other cities and counties in Georgia.

A tragic death
As implausible, impossible, ridiculous, outlandish, and unbelievable as the circumstances that led to the death of Kendrick Johnson are, that doesn’t make them untrue. His death was tragic, senseless, and indescribably sad. But from all of the reports, all of the thousands of hours of investigative work, all of the intensive examinations, nothing has surfaced that in any way suggests this was anything but an accidental death.

THUMBS UP: To Dr. Tom Hochschild. Noticing the amount of viable items being trashed by departing students last year, the Valdosta State University associate sociology professor created Give and Go, which diverts everything from mini-fridges to electronics from the trash heap to people who can use them. Excellent example for the students and the community alike.
