Running from tradition
I walked into the church on that Easter Sunday in my yellow seersucker dress that Mama had made for me. My sister wore one just like it and I fumed. First of all, I hated the Easter dress custom because Mama never let me pick out what I wanted. She decided what I would wear, and at the mature age of 8 years, I knew very well that I was plenty old enough to make my own decisions about clothes. She did concede some issues to my better judgment. For example, I tolerated no lace and no ribbons on my dresses—not even one. A sash hung down in the back, but it was plain, not frilly, and besides, I couldn’t see it behind me. And just because the whole world thought females should adorn themselves in pink didn’t mean I would wear that horrid color. I had agreed under duress to the yellow fabric.

Blessings by the bushel
The pear and wild plum have bloomed just in time to draw back a nub because as I write this it is supposed to freeze tomorrow. I just smoked my country cured hams. The collards are blooming and I will soon gather their seed and keep them for next year. No, I don’t have to buy all my garden seed. I’ve also got dry peas, rice and honey stored, honey because it never spoils. I heard some honey was found in a tomb somewhere that was hundreds of years old and was still good. I don’t expect to be here another hundred years, so when I go you are welcome to it if you can find it. I guess I was a doomsday prepper long before the television series.

Overcome with pets left on Howard Brannen Road
To the Citizens of Appling County,
This letter is in reference to the unwanted pets that are left on our property and road, Howard Brannen Road. As many of you know, the animal shelter is located at the end of Howard Brannen Road. We are continuously having people drop off their unwanted pets on our properties or at the end of the road. We have no control of the animal shelter nor the hours and cannot continue to have unwanted pets left loose. I had someone drop of two puppies and left them in the box of my truck…this is ridiculous! When these unwanted pets are left on Howard Brannen Road, Animal Control will NOT, pick them up, because we are NOT in the city, therefore, we are burdened with unwanted pets. If you do not want your unwanted pets, please contact the Baxley Police Department (Animal Control) so they can guide you on how to have your unwanted pets picked up. All of the residents on Howard Brannen Road will greatly appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Sincerely,
Maria Nunez

Responds to Grand Jury findings
Dear Editor,
It was with great interest that I read your January 23 report on the Grand Jury’s finding in the shooting death of Cpl James M. Dixon III. After thinking about this case for more than a year, I agree with the Grand Jury, and presumably, the GBI findings. Simply stated, James was holding a gun. He would not, or more likely could not surrender his gun so the use of deadly force was justified. Note, however, that the term “justified” is not synonymous with “necessary” or “morally correct” or “humane.” There are still many unanswered questions in this case. Among them are: Did the sheriff determine that his entire department was incompetent to handle one man armed with a shotgun? Did the sheriff have any non-lethal systems at his disposal? Why, after talking to James face to face, did the sheriff walk away and turn him over to SWAT? Did James threaten to harm anyone? If it had been the sheriff’s child instead of James, would he have walked away? I understand that the snipers are trained to shoot only to kill: is their policy “Surrender or die”? [Full Story »]
