Am I allowed the call the police on a pregnant woman who lives on my street who I constantly see outside of her house smoking?
Here is the rule on bands playing during a football game and it is very clear: Bands are not to play during live-ball situations. (a) If, during a football game, a team claims interference with communications due to band noise, the Referee shall give a warning to one of both head coaches and the bands must cease playing. (b) If there is a second offense by the same school's band, an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty will be imposed against the school's team.
President Obama did not inherit the mess. He asked for it, campaigned for it, spent millions to acquire it and promised to change it.
Actually, not all the people who sent in comments about public vs. private school did so tearing down public schools. However, the original poster called such folks traitors. I take exception to that. I chose, at much personal sacrifice, to pay for my children to attend St. John so they can get the Christian environment I want.
Coaches make me cry when they send a child home with tears in their eyes because they did not get to play at all. Your job is to build confidence and self esteem in these children. Children are left on the sidelines when they are every bit as good as the ones playing. Come on coach, be fair.
It is extraordinarily rude to pull up in front of a house at 4 a.m. and blow your horn for whomever you are waiting for. It wakes up neighbors and their children. Are you so lazy you can't walk to the door and knock?
The original library and auditorium were built without SPLOST funds. Why can't local officials figure out how to do that again? I guess it's easier to ask us to vote ourselves a tax than for the politicians to look for creative solutions.
To add additional comments to the ranter about the new main gate at Moody on Davison Road. That is an unsafe intersection. As busy as that intersection is, the signs are confusing, there are no railroad arms, and no turn arrows. I do not know whose jurisdiction that intersection is in, but it was poorly planned.
I'm a teacher who went on the bus visit. We did it to interact with the community. We always ask parents to be involved. All the parents and grandparents were very thankful for the books and visit. The children we visited loved it and told all their friends the next morning. It's my neighborhood too.

Over 150 applicants applied for the handful of teaching jobs in Lowndes County. Plus, almost every single paraprofessional is a certified teacher who has been waiting patiently, “doing their time.” And, Lake Park Elementary hires a teacher who has quit, not once, but twice before. The "good ole' boy" network at its finest.

Have we progressed to the point where we are arguing about gay marriage? I thought the South was still outraged about blacks being able to marry whites! Hmm...We will catch up to the rest of the world eventually.

I found the cartoon referencing Tim Tebow's Christianity on Thursday's editorial page very offensive. I can agree that many people are out for what God can do for them, not how they can serve God, But I do not see any evidence of that attitude or life style in Tim Tebow's life. Time will tell.

Good riddance to the doctor unable to take Medicaid patients?! Do you work for free? I bet you go to work and expect a paycheck. Why would the doctor be any different? Blame our fearless leaders, not the doctors. And you are WAY out of line questioning whether that person is Christian or not. Sounds like the person who thinks preachers should work for free.

Amazing: Even a judgmental person like yourself can’t even bother to get the facts straight before you criticize something. Jason Collins did an extremely brave thing by coming out in a world filled with people such as yourself. Words of Wisdom: Leave the judging to God.

Raves to Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Sylvia at Cook Primary! They have the best behaved class and are the best teachers in that school!

To all who use Coleman Road as a short cut between Old Highway 41 North and North Valdosta Road, please remember the speed limit is 35, not 65. Tailgating me isn’t going to make me go faster. Remember, it’s our neighborhoods, not your short cut!

I hope Al Sharpton finds time to visit the mother in Brunswick whose baby was shot point blank in the forehead while in his baby stroller. Perhaps the reverend could also counsel the angry young black man who pulled the trigger. Oh wait, the baby was white. Never mind.

I thought that all schools had dress codes that the teachers and substitutes had to follow? When I walk into the school it looks like they are headed to the pool instead of the classroom. Tank tops and skimpy skirts are not allowed. Come on, administration, make them follow the rules. Thank you, to the teachers and staff that do adhere to the dress code.

Property tax should be based on value. School taxes should be separate and assessed to each household equally, no exemptions. The rich, middle and poor should pay equally for children's public education.
