A police chase Thursday afternoon in Northwest Moultrie ended when the car hit and broke an electric pole. Residents criticized what they described as a high-speed chase through an area where there are many kids in the area in the afternoon. ‘One of these kids could have been crossing the street,’ said Kimberly West of Funston who was in the area at the time but did not see the accident. ‘They could have got killed. I just feel like in an area like that there shouldn’t have been any high-speed chase. They should have backed off.’ A resident who did not wish to give her name said the driver of the car fled and a passenger was arrested.

Lamb signs to run at Columbus State
When Colquitt County High’s Heath Lamb signed in 2010 to run cross country at Darton College, he said that one of his goals was to be able to run faster.
Lamb accomplished that and more in his two years with the Cavaliers.
And his performances with Darton have not gone unnoticed.
Lamb signed this week with Columbus State University. - Going to be a Blazer

Kellie Pickler: Tough and True on “100 Proof”
“I was born in the wrong generation,” said Kellie Pickler, looking through the windows at Sony Music Nashville’s offices toward somewhere far south of town. “I wish I would have been in the generation before Twitter and cell phones, when there was that mysteriousness about being an artist. I wish I could have been a part of that generation where you’d go to the Ryman and sing and then walk out the back door and go honky-tonkin’. Well, we do that anyway, but because it’s on YouTube the next day, you can’t really completely cut loose.”
