Applause
“Congratulations to CCHS Golfer Daniel Chafin and to Elizabeth Funderburk on you Red Hills Junior Tour Points Championships.
Soccer
“I would like to see the recreation department add a soccer program. The YMCA program has fallen. Parents are asked to pay excessive amounts for a bigger, better program, which has become no more than canceled practices that are not rescheduled, missed games and no added coaching. Why the extra expense? To have a better uniform?
The children are not learning anything more than they would have without the additional expense. I think parents should be credited for next season in order to make up for this season and all its short comings!
Not safe
“Highway 319 in Norman Park is not safe anymore for those children who walk to school and have to cross the highway.
With no local officers, traffic is going way to fast. The City Council is wrong for not having officers on duty.
Property thefts
“ I would like to know what local law enforcement plans to do about all these property thefts taking place in our county? The citizens are getting tired of being victimized.
Right direction
“Personally I don't care what color uniforms the football team wears or what letters or words are on their helmets.
With a new staff comes new changes, and maybe a fresh start if what we need. It seems to me coach Prospt has the team headed in the right direction, winning not losing.
Only when called
“Those who stick their head in the sand and claim the sheriff’s deputies are the same as local police in Norman Park should remember: deputies are not in town except when called. Local officers are on duty most of the time – if the City Council does its job.
Prime example
“ The government’s botched delivery of the swine flu vaccine is a classic indicator of a far greater problem, especially in times of crisis, when even small amounts of health care delivery are critical to millions of people, you cannot trust this government to do anything correctly.
Guard shack
“So we get this great new guard shack to help protect our children at the high school, but I have one important question, why is it not in use after 2:45 when classes don't end until 3:20?
Who is guarding our kids from 2:45 until 3:20, isn't this time just as important as the rest of the day?

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. - Rant and Rave for 2/09/12

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. - Rant and Rave for 2/08/12

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. - Rant and Rave for 2/07/12

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. - More Opinion Headlines
