Dear Editor,
As a local resident I would like to give a quick rundown on putting out a public service announcement. Any person/person’s claiming to be from Microsoft/local service providers, or any other entity that claims to have detected a virus or malware on anyone’s personal computer is fraudulent/fake.

Letters
Expresses gratitude to hospital
Dear Editor,
I honestly believe this is the first letter I have ever written to an editor of any paper. I’m not a blogger and I don’t post very many personal messages on Facebook, but I felt this was a letter that needed to be written, and hopefully read by everyone in Appling County. I will be honest and tell you that until Tuesday, November 22 at around 7:30 a.m. I never thought I would be writing this letter, but my feelings changed that day. [Full Story »]

A storm is coming
Dear Editor,
Are you prepared to weather the storm? It’s coming! We don’t know when, but it’s timeout for everyone wanting to do their own thing, in their own way. We are only about me, myself, I and my. [Full Story »]

A reason for road signs
Dear Editor,
Every morning when I take my boys to school, I feel like my life is in danger! It’s like driving on the Audubon in the school zones. Speed demons and traffic violations galore! We do not live in Germany! Please slow down and use your brains while driving! [Full Story »]

With a heavy heart
Dear Editor,
To my fellow Appling County citizens, it is with a sad and heavy heart that I pen this letter today. As the eldest of seven siblings, I had to take the leadership role of our family after our parents passed away in 2005. Doing my very best to set an example for them, based mainly on life experiences and examples left by our parents. [Full Story »]

Managers thank community
On behalf of the Appling County Board of Commissioners and Baxley City Council, we would like to thank everyone who had a part in keeping the community safe during Hurricane Matthew. There were many meetings and calls prior to the storms arrival that kept us informed. The Appling County Road Department along with Baxley Public Works, Sheriff’s Department and our local utility companies removed over 400 trees/debris from our roadways since Friday. We were truly blessed to only have minor damage from Hurricane Matthew.

Grand Marshall offers his thanks
To the Citizens of Appling County,
This past week I was humbled and honored by Appling County High School to be selected as the Grand Marshall for their Homecoming festivities. The only word that can explain to you what went on inside of me was “overwhelmed”. Overwhelmed by all the staff, teachers and students of ACHS, but also overwhelmed by congratulatory comments made to me by the people of Appling County as well as the calls that I received.

Spell addresses Rozier in letter about debris
I would like to thank Mr. Rozier for clearing up the errors in my letter posted in The Baxley Banner, concerning the windening project of County Farm Road. The amount I cited $225,000.00 came straight from the commissioner’s minutes reported by The News-Banner. Maybe I’m wrong, but I do not remember the matching funds amount of $169,000.00 as part of the reporting. In any event, Mr. Rozier’s attempt to address my letter only reinforces the point I was trying to make.

Gres asks voters to vote no
Editor,
I write to express concern over the deceptively worded Georgia Constitutional Amendment One, the Opportunity School District (OSD) question on the ballot this November. The ballot question will read: “Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended to allow the state to intervene in chronically failing public schools in order to improve student performance?” Seems worthwhile, but don’t be fooled by the wording. Amendment One is not what it seems. [Full Story »]

Thank you to Pavilion
Dear Editor,
In the last few weeks, I have had the opportunity to once again to be associated with out wonderful Pavilion Nursing Facility. Ms. Melba Webb and her folks do a wonderful Job. My thanks especially to Ms. Emma Branch, RN and the folks on C Hall. Also, Ms. Brenda Banks in the dietary department does everything she can to make the residents feel right at home. She fixes them something special if they ask her to. Also, let me say a word about the upkeep of the facility, it looks as good as the day it was opened! The housekeeping staff is great!

Concerns with cleanup
Recently, Appling County, specifically District Five was awarded a $225,000.00 Local Maintenance and Improvement Award (GMIG). This was a grant for widening County Farm Road. The work was recently completed after about a two to three week period. I was astonished to see the amount of debris left by the contractor, strewn along the shoulder of the road. There was dirt, grass clumps and small to medium size asphalt clumps. It is, and still remains an eyesore, and will be detrimental to the safety of passing motorist utilizing the roadway to travel, as our county employees go about bush hogging the roadside grass. The asphalt rocks could easily be thrown from the blades and hit bypassing vehicles, not to mention the damage that will be done to county equipment.

God is no trashcan!
Revelation 22:13 states “I am the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” So just think about it, should He be thrown in a trashcan?
