In just a few hours, our community’s kids will be celebrating Halloween as they attend numerous parties and go “trick or treating.” This is just a word of caution that should go without saying, but we’ll saying it anyway because it is about our kids — our most precious natural resources.

Please think through the activities that they will be participating in. If it’s going door to door for treats, take the standard precautions of making sure that an adult is close by, that their costumes are highly visible and that they know about the types of treats they should eat. Please examine their goodies before you allow them to dig in.

As well, caution them about respecting people’s property.

We applaud those various organizations that have structured special events for our kids. Keeping these youngsters within prescribed party parameters is certainly a tremendous safety factor.

And to the general public, pay close attention that our kids will be out on the street trick or treating and going to and from parties. Look out for them ... they are kids and they are excited so their judgements may be factor by these events.

Y’all be careful out there ... ya hear!

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.
