Every week someone is complaining about the sheriff’s office. Do you think for one minute that we do not understand who is putting this in the paper. They put their lives on the line for all of us. I appreciate all of them.
Every profession has their fair share of rude people. It is not just the trucking companies. If it was not for truck drivers, where would your groceries, clothing and other needs come from?
I agree that school shouldn’t have fundraisers. No one wants to buy or sell that junk. If the schools can pay for luncheons and parties for the faculty, then the kids shouldn’t have to raise money for supplies!
How many T-shirts can one school promote to sell? Did someone forget most of us are on a tight budget?
Shame on you people who think it’s a nuisance to have a homecoming parade. This is a special time in our children’s lives. If you don’t like parades then by all means stay home!
Not all parents or grandparents can go to school functions. The little sad faces say it all when they see others with their family members. It should be limited to after-hour meetings with your teacher, not the whole school.
Unfortunately, new Lowndes County tags are prefaced with the letters — PEE. I refuse to display this offensive word.
It’s disappointing to read criticisms of our schools in the newspaper. Why not contact the administration and air your grievances? Schools need our support — now, more than ever before.
We walk every day from Chick-fil-A to Highway 84 and back. That’s three miles every day. There are places that you cannot walk side by side. The grass has almost grown over the sidewalk. Now the city wants to put in more sidewalks? And who is supposed to trim this sidewalk?
Breeders should stop making money off of poor little animals. It is cruel and they suffer dearly. Please adopt a pet from the animal shelter before they are put to death.
Only the minds of women with no male influence could come up with a “Pajama Day” or a “Crazy Sock Day” (which female “managers” came up with, at a place where I quit the job quickly after that, rather than work for anyone with the maturity of a 9-year old).
I think Mr. Rose wrote a wonderful article for Thursday’s paper. I so enjoyed it that I told everybody in our office that they should read it. Well done, Mr. Rose.

Thank you to Victoria at Winn-Dixie in Lake Park for being honest. I left my cash back in the automatic check out. She found it, and turned it in. Great employee. Keep her Winn-Dixie.

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!
