Laws should be reinforced when dogs are roaming the streets. There is a leash law, yet, I see numerous dogs either dead by the road or will be. It also causes wrecks from us trying to avoid hitting them. Please fine these owners and take their dogs!
Dear Kinderlou neighbor, why should our property manager have to send you a letter asking you to trim your bushes? Take some pride in your home!
Will the owner of the little brown-rust colored dog that hangs at McDonald's and Family Dollar near the overpass, please get it before someone hits it or it is killed? That is a very busy area and it is lucky to have made it so far. If you don't want it, give it to someone that will take care of it since you don't.
In regards to the paper's recent article about Wild Adventures opening back up, it actually didn't start with a love of flowers and trees. HFE may have but not Wild Adventures. It all started with a giraffe named Bongo and a man named Kent who worked very hard.
So SGMC can buy land and build more buildings but can't offer decent wages or retirement? And they wonder why so many employees leave — especially nurses! Wake Up! If you want to keep your people, then treat them well. Basic Business 101.
To the Educator complaining about being asked to take work home. When you went to school all those years you knew teachers (who cared) took work home. If you did not want to do that you should have found another career. And many doctors and Accountants don't take work home but they have to work more than 190 days a year for a full year’s pay.
The Rant re: teachers shouldn't have to take work home because other professionals don't is ridiculous. If you want to be treated as the professional you profess to be, realize you do the work that has to be done. Doctors are on call or working extra hours at clinics, accountants work 16- hour days during tax season and beyond, lawyers frequently work on weekends to catch up. And beyond just getting the work done, most of them have the burdens of paying employees as motivation as well.
I’m sure the readers of this column are sick of hearing about the sewage problem. I sympathize with you but enough is enough. I think we all get the point—old problem needs to be fixed, period.

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!

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.
