Dear Editor,
In the afternoon of December 14, I went to pick my son (Austin Wilson) up after school was released. The ride home was quiet and I could obviously tell he had a bad day, so I ask how his day went. He told me he was upset because “tomorrow is fun day and I have to stay in a classroom and do work all day while all my friends get to have fun”. I asked why he had to miss fun day and he explained to me he missed more than four days of school. These days were completely excused absents due to a death in the family and doctors appointments, however this did not seem to matter.

ACHS Pirate Football….What A Season!!!
Dear Editor and Community,
“It’s a great year to be a PIRATE!” It’s certain that many share this sentiment. Making it to the final four in division 2-AA in the state playoffs is a tremendous feat. It’s been 12 years since the Pirates have had this honor. This has taken much effort on the part of the players, coaches, parents, cheerleaders, band, teachers, staff, and administration of Appling County High School. However, it cannot go unnoticed that fan and community support has been overwhelming. The support that the Pirates have experienced from local businesses, dedicated fans, and the board of education is awe-inspiring. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all who have took the time to encourage and support the Pirates, Head Coach J.T. Pollock, and the coaching staff. [Full Story »]

“Just what if?”
Dear Editor,
I am a disabled 53-year-old black female who lives in Lakeview Retirement Center (a personal care home) on Stephens Avenue in Baxley. I am a law-abiding citizen and a registered voter. I don’t drink, smoke, sell or use illegal drugs. I am a member of Satilla Missionary Baptist Church in Baxley. In order to feel as though I can give a little of myself back to society, I choose to do volunteer work at the Pavilion two or three days a week. I help out in the Activities Department.

Women belong in construction
By Mittie D. Cannon, Ed.D
Construction is historically viewed as a male-dominated industry, with men having populated the skilled crafts for centuries. The underrepresentation of women in the construction crafts has been a debate and focus of attention for many years. The dream of gender equality is still distant; however, the new dynamic of the ‘traditional family’ allow for a more diverse workforce. [Full Story »]

“Think about it, reach out”
Dear Editor,
Did you pray that others would be blessed? Did you visit or make a phone call to someone that is homebound? Did you feed or share your food with some hungry person? Did you consider someone who was less fortunate than you?
Did you lend a helping hand to someone in an act of love with a caring spirit? Did you give thanks to God for life, health, strength, and food on your table, shelter and clothing? [Full Story »]
