Dear Editor,

Of Georgia’s 37 million acres of land area, more than two-thirds are covered by forests, 56 percent of which is owned by private, non-industrial landowners. These dedicated landowners owners are critical to the forest industry in Georgia which injects $23.6 billion and 108,112 jobs into the state’s economy, making it Georgia’s second largest manufacturing employer.  [Full Story »] 

Dear Editor,

I would like to say thanks to Christina Everett for the article placed in The Baxley News-Banner, Nov. 6, 2013 concerning “Bullying”. Our parents and school instructors need to be more observant as to what our children are doing and why. I agree with Mrs. Everett concerning the Star program, but the most important program is PRAYER. Prayer is the key! [Full Story »] 

Dear Editor and to whom it may concern,

I am writing this today, because I am an outraged concerned parent, and wanted to let you know about a growing problem in our public schools. The problem is bullying. This “problem” will not go away unless we as parents get involved. Too many times I have seen parents turn the other cheek because they are too afraid of the outcome to say anything. This has to stop! Our child was and is a victim. [Full Story »]

What is the problem? Evil is all around us! 1 Timothy 6-10 states, “The love of money is the root of all evil.” [Full Story »] 

Dear Editor,

Attached you will find an article that I wrote in hopes of reaching out to the people of America and I am asking for the backing of our community, pastors and churches. I am an American, a Christian and a parent. I am out to reach as many as I can that are wearing these same shoes. With everything going on in our country in just the past few weeks there’s no better time for us to take a stand. We are being bullied and threatened and we are living in a time of so much uncertainty. How much longer are we going to just stand by waiting to see what will happen next? It’s time for America to live again by the laws that our great nation was founded on… One Nation Under God… with Liberty and Justice For All. [Full Story »] 

Dear Editor,

We would like to thank the community for their support during a benefit sing hosted by Riverside and Spring Branch Baptist Churches recently. Many other churches were represented at the event with the Apostles and others singing. [Full Story »] 

Dear Editor,

I was pleased to note in the 9/18/2013 issue of the News-Banner that the teachers and administration of the Appling County Primary School started the school year with enthusiasm and dedication. I was saddened and disheartened to note that they chose to show their excitement by participating in a balloon release. Balloon releases may be fun to watch, but balloons fall and then they become litter and an environmental pollutant. [Full Story »]
