VALDOSTA —
Fantastic game, Wildcats! Bad luck at the end, but you played a great game!!!
Last year’s final Winnersville moments were all about skill; this year’s were all about luck. Cats played a better game, and I will ALWAYS be proud to be a WILDCAT!!
There used to be a central point of entry into community services for persons with housing, rent, medical and other issues, but that agency has lost favor with the churches. This has caused other groups to take up the cause of helping people, but without a central clearing facility, it is very easy for those with transportation and the nerve to do it to receive services that were meant for others. A database that identifies people once and is available across the community would make donated and grant dollars go farther.
What a classic! It was great to see the community come together like they did for the Winnersville classic. Good food, great sportsmanship and just an all around good time. It’s great to live in such a wonderful city.
After the Lowndes Valdosta football game we were at the Waffle House on North Valdosta Road and three of the Lowndes players was there, one of them asked if we had went to the game and thanked us for our support. That made a great night of football even better. It was great knowing that the players appreciate the fan support.
Big Bird the flap — IT IS time to kick the big kid out of the support nest and let him fly on his own. I would even consider wringing his neck, plucking, dressing, cooking and eating him. $440 million/year feeds a lot of kids. PBS will survive.
Here is the state law on bicycles, read it: http://www.bicyclegeorgia.com/galaw.html
Since Georgia Power put in these new smart meters, I have experienced flickering, power outages and unexplained power surges. Is anyone else having these problems? These meters don’t seem to be smart at all.
All of these private school defenders make a point to tear down public schools. The original rant stated that people who pull their children out of public schools harm the systems. If everyone would “buy in” and support public schools, they would see that their racist and biased
stereotypes aren’t quite what they assumed. Private schools have the same problems.
Gangs and drugs may not go hand-in-hand with liberalism, but liberals tend to make more excuses for them than conservatives.

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!
