Rant & Raves for Wednesday, February 20, 2013

VALDOSTA — Editor's Note: Throughout 2013, The Times has committed to only publishing raves on Wednesdays. We want to hear your positive comments, South Georgia.

Thank you Valdosta Times for pubishing what local Govt. does with our tax money. We need all the information you can give. The Times is our only source of what’s going on in local govt.



Thank you to S. L. Mason Elementary School for putting on a great Valentine’s Dance for moms and dads. The decorations were beautiful. We had such a great time.



A big rave to G & G Family Medicine in Valdosta for being open on Saturday and Sunday. The options of a weekend walk-in clinic are slim in this area and I am thankful for all the staff at this office and Dr. Faircloth.



Praises to Joe Mckinley, Mr. Whitehead and the rest of the guys who serve in the sanitation department. They  take pride in their work and I can assure you, they are appreciated.



Gabriella at Cheddars made our night. Excellent service! Thanks!



A big rave for Star Parker. We need more like her who are not afraid to write the truth and cause us to think for ourselves.



Rave to the woman who lives at the corner of Jerry Jones  and McRee, you work so hard  on your yard and it is so beautiful. I drive that route just to look at it.



Kudos to Cunningham Tree Service who came out and trimmed the lines for Colquitt Electric Co. They did  an outstanding job and cleaned up all of their cuttings when they were done.



I want to send a shout out to the Turner Arts Center for a wonderful show last week. Hooray for Hollywood had great singing, dancing and costumes.



I cannot overstate how pleased I am with Adcanced Diaposal services. Has it been without a hitch? No. But the customer service folks there have been very professional, very knowledgeable, and very responsive. They deserve time to work the kinks out and a little patience on our part will help them.



Thank you, Dr. Owusu, for taking such good care of my father and for listening to our concerns. You found a blood clot other doctors had overlooked.

    I am a student at Valdosta State University, I pay thousands of dollars in tuition, but I am not allowed to use the Student Recreation Center because I am not taking summer classes. I was told that I have to pay $45 to use the Rec Center during the summer. As if I don't pay enough already... Utterly ridiculous.

    Truly embarrassing that our community euthanizes 12 animals daily. Our citizenry hasn’t progressed to understand responsibility. The end result in these horrible economic times is the ongoing suffering of animals. Other locales nearby have solved this problem; mandatory spay/neuter and breeding licenses are needed to stop this scourge. Let’s get serious, please!

    I think what the County Commissioners  are doing to Deep South Sanitation is outrageous and I think the citizens of Lowndes County should remember this during the next election. They are giving away freedom of choice. This man had this trash collection before Advanced.

    The City of Valdosta needs another cable company! Competition is a great thing.

    Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'm quite pleased with Advanced Disposal. I'm paying less than I paid for service with Veolia, the service is reliable and they offer a large recycling bin. I don't understand what's "socialist" about offering county residents affordable, reliable service.

    Closing the trash drop off was a big mistake. I live in Stone Creek so now I can’t put anything beside the street, now I have to haul it to the landfill and pay by weight. I had to pay $15, then I have to pay the trash pick up monthly. Something is wrong in this picture. I have a lot of yard waste, so now I have to take it to the landfill every time I clean yards.

    I live in Brooks County. A while back, a limb fell at the edge of my yard. I called the road department asking to remove it. I was told they could not help because it was on private property. Later driving down Johnson Short Road, I saw the road department removing limbs from a yard. I have found out the limbs were on private property.

    Do people in Valdosta not understand that when you lag behind at a green light there are people behind you that will not make the green light due to your inconsideration?

    Mosquitoes in the city are growing fast. But sanitation and cable bills in so-called "Metro Valdosta" are growing even faster!

    We live in Stone Creek and couldn't be happier with Deep South Sanitation! They are the best. People don't realize that they come get your trash can and put it back on the side of the house! Keep fighting Deep South, and know you have our support!
