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.

We better wake up
Dear editor:
Have our GOP representatives gone to sleep or are they refusing to act for the people they are supposed to represent? The Obama administration has contracted a Spanish company called SCYTAL, to tabulate the 2012 November presidential election.

May God bless my Uncle Henry
My uncle once noted on his return from a fishing trip that he caught so many fish he couldn’t put them all in one pile.
That’s how I feel trying to keep up with all the causes and organizations that either require support groups or else they comprise support groups.

A kind humanity
Dear editor:
Humanity. One word. That word can translate into many other words. Some would say humanity is dark, greedy and bent on world domination. Others may say humanity is sweet, kind and caring. I myself witnessed a small part of a loving, caring humanity the other day.

Why it's a bad tax
Dear editor:
In regards to the Transportation TSplost Tax: The statement, “Economic development suffers if we don’t pass this tax” is not a valid statement, because Georgia has always been behind the 8 ball in regards to transportation, but yet look at the growth we have experienced; being behind in transportation didn't hinder economic growth. Georgia now ranks 11th in the country as of 2010 and this occurred mostly since 1995. The economic vitality of Georgia is alive and well considering the slump the country is in.

I am saddened
Dear editor:
A couple of weeks ago, I attended Field Day at Sunset Elementary where my oldest daughter attends the Pre-K program. I was deeply saddened to hear that Mrs. Vicky Watson will be retiring this year.
