VALDOSTA —
Thank you, VDT, for informing the public regarding the pros and cons for VSU's considering NCAA Division I over Division II. Articles are "keepers.” Put that idea to rest, people. Go, Blazers!
I do not understand why the commissioners voted to close the county trash collection center. We were paying for this service. If the county were losing money, they could have charged more. The extra 1 cent that was voted for could have paid some of the cost. The prices that Advance Disposal Trash charges now will increase later on. All the money spent setting up the collection centers is wasted.
I am sorry to see the dumps close. There will now be more dumping on roads and more burning. I pay over $10,000 a year in property taxes and this is the only service that I used. I will vote against every county commissioner in primaries and election until they come back. How much did the new sanitation company contribute to their election fund I wonder?
I've had Deep South Sanitation since the first day Mr. Scarborough introduced himself and his company. They are the best. Lowndes County, let’s keep our economy strong, support your local businessmen and taxpayers, not some big box company who doesn't care about their customers!
A Rave to Lloyd Dumas, VDT circulation manager! I was having problems receiving my daily newspaper and he took care of the problem and then followed up!
All those happy raves on Wednesday give me a headache.
Valdosta High School has a large discrepancy between the high achieving students and the students with disabilities. Is that news? No, that is reality. We all expect that there will be a gap between kids with disabilities and other groups in the high school. No Child Left Behind is a completely misguided notion. 2014 cannot come soon enough!
Senator Heath appropriates less to Georgia Public Broadcasting in 2013. Lovely. Governor Deal then gives his buddy a job at GPB for a salary three times the usual GPB salary. It is no wonder that Georgia is found to be the most corrupt state in the nation.
Has anyone given any thought to all the people who have lost hours at their job so their employer does not have to offer insurance? Great job, Obamacare.
Good luck to the LHS Mock Trial Team and coach Mr. White on their upcoming Regional Competition.

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!
