VALDOSTA —
Wake up and take ownership of your actions! The police aren't responsible if you choose to run from them.
As the young adult who received the window tint ticket in Remerton, my attitude did not contribute to my reception of the ticket. I respect law-enforcement officers not only because they are individuals in positions of authority but because of the sacrifices they make for their job. Please do not assume this "child" does not know how to act.
A great big rave to the newest eating place in Hahira, China 1! We, too, love the fact that we don't have to go 12 miles to Valdosta to eat some awesome Chinese food. Cindy, Courtney, and Leah are always so nice.
Words to live by in this drama-filled town: If you did not see it with your own eyes or hear it with your own ears, don’t invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth.
Actually, it is the job of Chambers of Commerce to take stands on political issues — if and when they impact the businesses they represent. They are considered lobbying organizations and that means having strong involvement in legislative and therefore political matters. Businesses may not always like the stands they take, but they can always speak out by withdrawing their memberships.
The new Lowndes County grading system seriously worries me for those kids. This is setting them up for failure at a collegiate level. There is no such thing as "re-tests" in college. Students have been increasingly unprepared for college-level work and this is bound to make it worse.
Now don’t punish the Lake Park Chamber for the actions of one. The Chamber as a whole, for the past year has not taken political stands. There is also a whole new board. There’s still hope.
I would like to know one thing. Why in the world will gas be $5 a gallon by summer when we are exporting more gas than ever before? Didn't the president just say at his speech last week that we have enough fuel to last us 100 years? Sounds like a payoff to me!
Big rave for the VPD. I always see you when I get off work late at night. This lets me know you are out and doing your job!
It's a shame that so many people steal from Walmart and other stores, teach their kids that it is all right to eat bananas, donuts, deli food, etc. Eat it and walk out without paying. That is why prices go up — to make up for the ones that don't pay.

I know two LMS students who have continuously been in trouble this year and had mostly failing grades; however, now they are being promoted because teachers no longer can give zeros, but have to record a 60, even for assignments not turned in! How is it ethical to give grades that weren’t earned and what does this teach about responsibility and consequence?

If you cannot watch your children, perhaps you shouldn’t have children.

Concerning taking up multiple parking spots in “public” lots. Remember that these are mostly on private lots (including Walmart) and the only reason they don’t say anything is because they don’t want you taking your money elsewhere. A little courtesy, especially on busy days, goes a long way.

I apologize to anyone my child annoyed at Chick-Fil-A Saturday when I went to the bathroom ...

Are we really replacing hard-working persons with illegal aliens just to save a few dollars? Business owners should be wary and take care of those who have helped them get where they are now!

To the person who is referring to people complaining about people being on welfare; no one was pin-pointing you. I have been simply referring to the people to openly advertise how they cheat the system and never have to work, and live better than I do. And, for your information, I too am a single mother who struggles everyday to provide for my son. So, honey, I have walked a mile if not more in my own shoes of despair.

I have also heard the gunshots in Hahira. I’ve lived there for years but it seems to have gotten worse lately. I tried to tell a policeman in the store the other day but ... The last time I heard the shots was actually a couple Sundays ago, around lunchtime. I've assumed it was people hunting in the woods around Union Road but the shot pattern didn’t sound conducive to this last time.

Raves and thanks to SODEXO, who keeps our little part of Lowndes County (Mineola) clean and beautiful. We appreciate it!

I too would like to see a minor league baseball team located in Valdosta, but I doubt if it would be supported well enough to justify.

I am a Lowndes County resident speaking to the city leaders concerning LOST. Everyone’s budgets are tight. I hope you are ready to pay the attorney’s fees and court costs out of your decided share. I do not want my share of the tax offset to be reduced because of you.
