Dear Editor,

Everyone should want a beautiful garden. If you don’t, don’t plant one. A garden takes time to grow and be made beautiful. [Full Story »] 

Dear Editor and Community,

The Lord provided a beautiful day for the Walk for Jesus that was held on Saturday, May 5th. A big “thank you” to everyone who came out and supported the Walk and to the Pastors who prayed, First African Baptist Church for providing their trailer for people who could not walk to ride on, to Zion Church of God for providing bottled water along the way, to Baxley Church of God for the use of their fellowship hall for the service and the refreshments they provided, to Javan Anderson, Bonita Anderson and James Herrin for ministering in music, to Midway Baptist for the use of their bus and to Larry Tillman for driving the lead truck with the praise music.

Dear Editor,

These children are not someone wandering out in a pasture hoping someone would haul them some food. Now these children I am referring to are the children attending the Fourth District School and they should have the same equal opportunity as others in the Appling County School System. They should not be singled out to have their meals prepared at one school at Appling County Middle School and hauled out to Fourth District School; 15 miles out one way to carry breakfast – 15 miles back to middle school, get lunch and carry lunch back to Fourth District another 15 miles and then back after lunch another 15 miles. In addition the school system will have to purchase a van and other equipment. Where are the savings? Does that seem like very good judgment? Truthfully it appears more like exerting authority a total of 60 miles per day to haul meals per day. Now this flip-flopping about the warming kitchen at Fourth District School; if it doesn’t work out we can always go back to preparing meals in the kitchen at Fourth District. [Full Story »]

A letter printed in Sunday’s Statesboro Herald (“My thumbnail history of the American left from 1919-2012”) stated a number of inaccuracies about the Democratic Party- a party that I have been elected to represent as Chairman in the great state of Georgia. [Full Story »]

Dear Editor and Community,

Dear Editor,

The article by Mrs. Mary Ann Ellis on April 18, entitled “Trial by Media”, was a great article that should be an eye opener for our community. It should teach us all a lesson about the consequences of jumping to conclusions and forming opinions without knowing all of the facts about a case. [Full Story »] 

Dear Editor,

Why are candidates in the upcoming elections placing signs on private property without asking permission? Please ask before you place any signs on my property.
