Dear Editor,

Who are you listening to? Why complain? God is in control. The Bible speaks of troublesome times. Man has no control over the weather, for example: rain, ice, snow, sleet or cold temperatures. Read Psalms 148 in the Bible.
We need to tell God thank you that things are not worse. We never say thank you, or give Him praise, that’s all He wants is our praise. [Full Story »] 

Dear Jamie,

As a veteran of the U.S.A.F. I frequently visit the Carl Vinson V.A. Hospital in Dublin. My last visit I was pleased to find copies of The Baxley News-Banner in several waiting areas. [Full Story »] 

Dear Editor,

A 45-acre lake for over $700,000 - Wow! This is taxpayer’s money. Can a bridge to nowhere be too far behind?

Dear Editor,

The City of Baxley and Chamber of Commerce funded and organized the event, but the real work was provided by community volunteers. Winter Wonderland would not be possible without the one hundred plus volunteers that have come back year after year with a smile on their faces to help ice cookies, make jingle bell necklaces, skewer marshmallows, help children sled on the snow covered slopes, and risk limbs in the snow ball zone. This year’s volunteers and workers included representatives from Boy Scout Troop 472, local banks, businesses, church groups, Kiwanis and Lions Clubs, Chamber board members, firemen, the City Public Works crew and so many more.

Dear Editor,

My name is Betty Cothern. I am Johnny Tyler Odom’s “Nana.” He has lived with my husband and myself for 10 years.

He has been the happiest since becoming a close friend with Buddy. I would really appreciate anyone who doesn’t know him to quit talking about him, and posting anything on Facebook and tend to your own families. Step back and look at your families and decide would you want one of them railroaded like Tyler has been? [Full Story »]
