Rants and Raves for November 17

Norman Park

“I agree that they need to get a new chief in Norman Park and let him get some officers that would take the burden off the mayor and city council. Also I hope that they will get a chief that people know from around here. The people here need to support the city council in the tough job they are having to do for no money.



The trial

“President Obama has decided to bring Khalid Sheik Mohammed to NYC for trial. Maybe the members of OJ's murder trial jury are still available to serve. Little Barack has opened Pandora's box once again.



Animal issues

“If the Humane Society is hurting for donations and over crowed then why are they trying to take in more animals. I agree if you can feed and care for your pets why does it really how many you have. Of course if it a health issue I completely understand. I save dogs because I don't believe in killing them solely because someone else didn't want to take care of them. Leave people alone unless they are seriously causing a health problem of the animals are not being properly cared for.



Football parent

“I can’t believe this town is so upset about the football team going on a chartered bus! As a 9th grade football parent, I have seen first hand how the mothers and fathers of the varsity team have worked to sell and give money out of their pockets to help with the success of the program.  Maybe if the band parents and other sports parents work half as hard you would have the same benefits for your child's sport.  Give it a rest!!



Way to go

“To all the Propst bashers : What have you got to say now? How do those words you had to eat taste in your mouth. Way to go coach and Packers.



Stop whining

“The band did take chartered buses to Atlanta today and they had some extra passengers called the cheerleaders. The names of the buses are Go, Mighty, and Packers. I think this shows that these young adults support our football team, so why can't everyone stop all their whining and complaining about things that you obviously know little about and just support all of these young adults.

They all work very hard to entertain us and they don't really care if one group gets more money than the other, In the end they are more than happy to share their buses with their fellow entertainers. It seems that the adults are the ones with the problem not the kids. So I ask, Who is the mature ones here.



Pack is back

“The Pack is back! What a great feeling on Friday nights in Moultrie!

  • 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.

  • Dwain Walden.jpg 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.

Poll

Should candidates for county positions have to run for a party's nomination?

No. Political parties are meaningless at this level.
Yes. It helps voters know where they stand on issues.
With all the problems the state's facing, this is a non-issue.
