| — 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

Life is a matter of perspectives; think about it
My friend, a city boy, was yelling for help. We were fishing on a river, and he had ventured over to another spot.
“Someone help! I’m cornered!” he yelled.

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.
