MOULTRIE — Volunteers

“I must have missed something. What’s all the hullabaloo about our volunteer firemen. These guys do a great job for no pay. I remember when we did not have this kind of fire protection. I also note that our insurance rates have improved with the development of these departments. All I can say about them is that they do a great job and I'm proud to have them."

Changes

“Mr. Walden, I like the point you made about when we carried knives to school and they were considered tools and not weapons. Yes, times have changed. Some good and some bad."

Thefts

“I would have thought by now that all the good stuff had been stolen in our county. By my calculations, thefts here come to around a million or more dollars each year."

Beware

“Young people getting killed and young people getting arrested. Take heed young people, this is not a movie you are in. You won’t be coming back for a sequel."

Football tickets

“The increase in the price of reserved seats has absolutely nothing to do with the new turf project. None of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Touchdown Club and the project is being completely funded by the Club. Call the school system and verify this if you must. Do a little research before making assumptions."

Wonder why

“President Obama and Attorney General Holder both promised to close Guantanamo Bay and to try those poor prisoners in American courtrooms as soon as possible. Apparently those plans are on hold until after the November elections. Why? Unfortunately doing the right thing is not always popular with the voters. We really need to move forward now not later."

Kids at buffet

“I love kids, especially well mannered ones. My pet peeve at restaurants is having a child serving himself at a buffet without any adult supervision!! I have seen a child drop food, pick it up and put it back. And they are "under the radar" when they cough or sneeze. I have often turned to the menu instead of the buffet for this reason."

Corruption

“If you go back and do some research on chain gangs you will be find all sorts of corruption involved, especially where they were connected to private properties. There was a time when the county warden was the most cherished of public offices. Wonder why?

Saving the critters
Dear editor:
Wildlife rehabilitators, or rehabbers as they are known in the animal community, are very special people. They have acquired the knowledge and experience that is needed to work with injured and orphaned wildlife. Licensed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, and if caring for federally protected species, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, a wildlife rehabilitator’s ultimate goal is to take an injured or orphaned animal, get it healthy and return it to its natural habitat.

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.
