Educated decisions
I know it’s a little early to start talking 2012 politics, but there is a topic that has really been weighing on me for a few days, especially after seeing the mess Washington has created. If you will indulge me for a few moments, I would like to ask that you consider two mock politicians/options.

Loving and living with ADHD children
Rearing children may well be the most difficult and most rewarding task of a lifetime. To nurture a child from birth to adulthood is no easy task, but if that child arrives with ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), the difficulty is compounded. The first obstacle comes in recognizing the disorder and finding help for the child. That is just the beginning. Societal biases lurk around every corner.

The Right Bait
It was early fall and Daddy, myself and Doc, a family friend, decided to make a trip to the Big Satilla river. We had some Catawba worms, regular worms, minnows and crickets and a paper sack containing a yellow jacket nest. We were loaded for bear and had a grand old time on the trip down with me being the designated driver.

The “No Solution Deal”
By Bill Wilson
A late deal struck by House and Senate leaders to raise the debt ceiling - with spending cuts that won’t balance the budget anytime soon, if ever - is a sad commentary on the state of affairs in Washington. There is no solution to the problem in sight. [Full Story »]

Is this legal?
Dear Editor,
Recently I attended a function that was held at the stadium in Waycross. Having a handicap tag and the blue handicap window card I attempted to park in a handicap slot and was informed by the parking attendant that it would cost $10.00 for me to park. Is this legal? I refused to pay and had to walk a great distance, which was a hardship due to recent back surgery. [Full Story »]

Immigration Law’s Effect on the Appling County Economy
I previously discussed Georgia’s Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011 known as “House Bill 87” and its interaction with federal regulations and their impact on those seeking to immigrate. As complicated an issue as this is, many citizens have difficulty understanding how immigration affects them on a daily basis. Many think that more strict enforcement of immigration laws might ease some economic difficulties — especially those that affect smaller governmental units such as schools and law enforcement as well as quasi-governmental entities such as hospitals. While that may be true in some cases, strict enforcement of current federal regulations will negatively impact many state and local economies. Appling County is no different, and our local economy is already experiencing the ill effects of House Bill 87.
