| — Credentials

“Someone said schools are getting rid of teachers for

coaches. Coaches went to school and got a degree in teaching, too. They just bring a little extra to the table with their coaching expertise and, I would imagine,better classroom discipline. Just as in any other profession - whomev- er has the best credentials on their resume usually gets the job.

Food stamps

“I am a mother of two teens. I work my butt off every

week and receive food stamps(not much) and med- icaid from the government. I make little more than minimum wage and I have and education. The father is right here in town and I have provided all needed info for them to locate him yet they still can not serve him with a court summons because they "can't" find him.

Funny how we all can. My point is that not every- one who get food stamps or help from the government is just sorry or lazy as you so eloquently pointed out.

Ice cream

“Someone's always complaining about the school system.

Let me get something straight for the ones who have no clue. Most of the kids who pay for ice cream are the children who also get free lunch while the ones who have to pay for their lunch sits back and watches. However, I have never seen a child cry about not getting a ice cream at school. So, people grow up and stop complain- ing about everything. The schools are not getting rich by no means.

Football

“Concerning the foot- ball team, I guess it's like the old say-

ing, "No matter how much money you put into it, you'll never make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Issues, issues

“So right now we have an issue with the football team,

the football coach, the band and ice cream at Doerun Elementary. I haven’t heard anything about the cheer- leaders or the rifle team. Where are you people?

Purse controls

“Only have two ques- tions for Mr. Harris. My political science

teachers all told me con- gress controls the purse strings. If that is true, then how is either Presi- dent responsible for the debt and who has con- trolled congress for most of the last 10 years?

Just curious

“Mr. Driver, I agree that a president at the wheel is the one

who must be held responsi- ble. I do have one question for you, however, and that is where was all your spit and vinegar when George Bush was at the wheel dri- ving us into debt and two wars? Just curious.

Applause

“Applause for local law enforcement. I appreciate your efforts

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.
