To those comparing Obama’s executive orders to George Bush, they both are serving or have served two terms and Obama is on course to break Bush’s numbers. Also Bush was an idiot so I guess, at this point, Obama is a lesser idiot.
A garbage franchise is not communism. When garbage companies bid for a franchise, your prices inevitably go down, and it saves from having two or three companies’ trucks out and about. Waste Management had a franchise for all the towns where I moved from and no one ever mentioned the word communism or minded coming into the 21st century and having their trash picked up.
Do you want to know how to get rid of a longtime, loyal employee? This is a rant for those who would “retire” an employee by not giving a paycheck and advising him that he’s finished. There’s no employer loyalty. It’s business as usual. Blood is thicker than water, after all. I know you won’t print this because the people involved may see it! Have a great day, ya’ll.
A big Hooray for Bill Holt and his LMS and LHS chess team. They brought home trophies from the Golden Isles Chess Tournament for the third time. These kids are awesome, smart, and talented and deserve recognition for their accomplishments playing competitive chess. Way to go kids!
The Senate and House committee hearings held on January 23 to ask Secretary Clinton questions about the catastrophe and cover-up in Benghazi just before the November election reminded me of a hog wallow event. It seems everyone present enjoyed the mud that has been spread over a tragic event and few desire to clean it up with the truth.
You have a choice for garbage pick-up in Lowndes County. It’s Deep South Sanitation and their number is 559-0200. We called and talked with the owner and were impressed with his honesty and decided to go with them and support local business instead of a large company. They are not doing recycling yet but, I understand that if they get enough requests for recycling bins they will start that as well.
The issue with executive orders is not that they are being made — that has always been the case. The issue is that this president is intentionally trying to use them to circumvent Congress’ constitutionally delegated authority. That is the essence of a wannabe dictator.

How long is it going to take AT&T telephone and/or Mediacom cable to do something about the vines and bushes growing over the cable lines at Mt. Zion Church Road and Academy Acres. The lines are pulled down where a 6 foot person can touch them. We won’t have any cable service or phone service if something is not done about this pretty soon.

Alright Sister's Pizza, how am I supposed to cheat on my diet if you stay closed! The other pizza places are too far from downtown for my lunch hour and are a bit too greasy.

I am thankful I chose to stick with Deep South Sanitation. Our trash is always picked up right on time and he never leaves anything behind. After all my neighbors' trash is "picked up," often items are strewn by the road and the cans are either left in the road or fallen in or beside the road. Get rid of the big company and move to Deep South, if you want true customer service!

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!
