I would like to let whomever it was who stole the rotating Christmas light wheel off my porch early Christmas morning know that it was a gift to my autistic 3 year-old. I hope you had no other decoration and really needed it to make your holiday whole, since my son will not be able to enjoy it. I hope in your heart, the stealing of it was worth the effort it took for you to come upon my property, unplug it and to take it away from a child.



The military has working dogs. Find one that is or was a hero, and name a park after it. Then you’d have a veterans’ dog park. By the way, I’m retired military with dogs.



Thumbs down to illegal employers of illegal workers and to political and media fence-sitters who pander to both sets of criminals. Double thumbs down to citizens who complain, but do nothing!



Thank you, Sheriff Norton, for the best law enforcement office Lanier County has had in years!



The latest round of rants about the construction on I-75 makes me wonder if the ranters read The Valdosta Daily Times on a daily basis or bother to read the front page articles. If these ranters had read the series on the pitiful state of the interstate system, they would realize that the I-75 project is just indicative of a national problem.



I don’t own a dog, but see no reason not to have one big area for a dog park. Many parks are too cluttered with many, many trees. We need a park with plenty of trees, but disperse the trees so there are free areas to run around for activities such as kite flying.



The person could make it to the store to buy groceries with their food stamps if more people would leave their carts in the parking lot for us all to use as walkers. I refuse to use a handicap spot as long as I can walk!



Let’s support all of our Georgia teams: Go, Yellow Jackets! Good luck in the Gator Bowl.



It’s amazing how someone can say something about a shopping cart and get so many responses. All I can say is “Wow.”



Someone tell me what route ambulances and police take when the train has clogged up Baytree and Gornto Road.



Any community with 100K population and a university should have a dog park. I moved from a similar community of size and with a university, and it had four (yes, four!) dog parks. One for each side of the county.



More dog park brouhaha … A dog park is a park for people with dogs. No different from Drexel Park, the tennis center, bike paths and walking trails.



As a police officer, I have to say to all the drivers out there that seem to enjoy running red lights, you should know that yellow does not mean speed up. Maybe we could reduce the number of accidents if people would simply read the manual from the DMV and of course retain the information.



Perhaps, if schools would teach English and proper sentence structure instead of having students read antiquated literature from the 1700s that sounds like a foreign language in itself from the way people talked back then, perhaps English today would be better!



Why have a bad heart? All that immigrants want is a better life.



What’s up with Hill Avenue, Valdosta? Approaches to your main east and west route directly to and through the heart of your touted historic district is a shameful, neglected eyesore. Poor lighting, rundown buildings, little if any landscaping, no decorations. Let’s spruce it up.
