Dear editor:

A family recently moved to Colquitt County from Maryland and purchased two stores in Berlin. They located here due to having family in our area and also because they’ve been made welcomed during various visits over the last few years.

Raj Patel and Kiren Patel moved to our community with their two children, Mann, 6 (son) and Kamal, 5 (daughter), along with Raj’s mom Mathuben. They were looking forward to raising their family and planting roots here in Moultrie and Colquitt County. Everything was going fine and suddenly Kamal gets sick. After extensive medical tests locally and also in Macon, the Patel family is told that Kamal has cancer (leukemia).

This family has been torn between keeping their business going and rotating back and forth to Macon where Kamal is currently undergoing medical treatment. Raj’s mom Mathuben has been with Kamal in Macon during this ordeal.

With this said, if you happen to stop in one of the stores in Berlin, please extend your sympathy to Raj and Kiren and wish Kamal a speedy recovery. This will lighten their spirits a little and also let them know that they are in our thoughts and prayers during Kamal’s treatment and recovery.

The knowledge that so many care about this wonderful little girl Kamal, will mean more than words could ever express.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Remember back in the early sixties when people were digging bomb shelters in fear of the “Big One” being dropped on us? I recall how an alarm would go off at school, and we would get under our desks. What a joke! Get under our desks when one entire wall was glass!

Outpouring of love
Dear editor:
What words can be added to so many that have been said in prayer and praise for our Haley? We have witnessed an outpouring of love and sacrifice for our families, and we truly cannot express our feelings of humility and gratitude.

Were we really shocked by the half-time cheap shot?
There’s an old saying, “Go to bed with dogs, wake up with fleas.”

Honor sacrifices
Dear editor:
When the Declaration of Independence was signed, we as a Country, The United States of America, were declaring our Freedom and Liberty.

What's at stake here?
Dear editor
It looks like one of my worst fears is about to happen. With President Obama’s withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq it appears the democratic government we set up in Iraq is getting ready to come apart. The Shiites and Sunnis are at each others throats and the Kurds and Turkey are already shooting at each other. Iran seems to be paused to take up the vacuum we will be left and obtain a nuclear weapon. In 2007 the Democrats were clamoring for President Bush to get our troops out of Iraq.

Hold the parsley — Give me the food
Occasionally I will watch one of those food shows on cable television. I find them more curious than I do entertaining. And sometimes, with only 100 channels at my disposal, I have to settle for curious.

'No' to incumbents
Dear editor:
Joe Biden came to Cowtown (Ft. Worth) to raise funds for his boss Obama. Picked up $125,000 from some "Fat Cat" liberals, part of the millionaire's raising Obama's teleprompter fund to over $225 million.
