Elections

Country Lady writes

What kind of community are we that we only have one person running for the office of Mayor? We talk about change and how we need to do something…yet we have let ourselves down again.

Family Violence

Category: General Comments — Larry @ 1:16 pm

Jweiss writes

I am just curious, if in fact there are children witnessing acts of violence repeatedly, is DFACS not following up with the family? Very possibly they are and I am just out of the information loop.

Also, is it not possible to start requiring counseling as part of a sentence of Domestic Violence, completion of anger management program, …

Homecoming Parade

Category: General Comments — Larry @ 2:03 pm

denise writes

Why would the very people who are being motivated by the community for their big game tomorrow night- FOOTBALL PLAYERS- not be allowed to participate in the Homecoming Parade? I don’t know who makes that decision, but I think it is ridiculous! What reason could they possibly have to deny our boys this 1 hour activity the day before the big game?

Pickup Seatbelt

climaxian writes

How does someone in a 45 MPH speed zone skid 75 feet then knock a surburban across 2 lanes into a parking lot?  Forget the seatbelt issue.

How About That Service??

Category: General Comments — Larry @ 1:14 am

mike writes

Is it just me, or are there others in our community who find it as difficult to receive good service as snapping a photo of Bigfoot at the boat basin?

I cannot recall the last time when I received good service in this town! Whether a retail store or a fast food chain, it’s always the same; no smile, no thank you, wrong orders, no “have a nice day”, no anything. It seems as if we the public are privileged to have these fine folks waiting on us, rather than these employees thankful that we are doing business with them!

Tracking Dogs

Category: General Comments — Larry @ 10:03 pm

thb973 writes

As much as we request the Appalachee Correctional Institute to use their “Tracking Dogs” wouldn’t it be quicker and more resourceful to have our own tracking dogs for Decatur County and City usage? I know training cost money but seems would save at least a hour on every time they track someone? Could we use some of the K9 units that we already have ? Or is it true that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?

Angry Kids

Category: General Comments — Larry @ 1:47 pm

bonnie writes

the kids around here are so ANGRY. i dont blame them, but i feel so helpless to remedy the situation. The kids in this area arent given one single thing to look forward to in their futures.

They have to live with and endure parents who do nothing all day long..nothing except fuss if their checks are late on the 1st of every month. Parents who would rather put $5000 sets of rims and thousands of dollars worth of car audio..or rediculous paint jobs on their vehicles than buy them a book…or some clothes..or set up a college fund for their futures.

This Has To Be A Joke…Right?

Category: General Comments — Larry @ 12:22 pm

mike writes

I cannot believe my ears after hearing that the city is even considering moving forward with a multi-million dollar renovation of City Hall. WE JUST LAID OFF CITY EMPLOYEES?! Even if common sense fails to overcome such foolishness, doesn’t someone believe building a new building for less money makes more sense? Seriously, is the creature comforts of city hall so bad that we have to spend this amount of money?

Cable Services

Category: General Comments — Larry @ 11:02 pm

d-man writes

I wonder why it is that Mediacom Cable is the only cable company that operates in the City of Bainbridge. I don’t know why, but i have never heard of any other cable company even mentioned when it comes time for the City to renew there contract.

It seems to me that if another company were to come, then maybe we could see some cheaper rates. Or do they have a monopoly on cable services here. We need help in times like we are in right now.

The road to good roads?

Category: General Comments — Larry @ 12:44 am

thb973 writes

What is the deal with our dirt roads in Decatur County not being maintained? There are approximately 300 miles of dirt roads and 200 paved in Decatur County, Clearly there are almost 50% more dirt roads than paved so why wouldn’t we have a larger part of the road department dedicated to dirt roads or to paving the more expensive roads to maintain.

Holy Cash Cow

Category: General Comments — Larry @ 1:46 pm

Sweetjanice39897 writes

How in the name of GOD can a Pastor afford a second (vacation) home, when I am sure a lot of his congregation can hardly afford a home to live in? What happened to Pastors’ who helped people in need,instead of helping themselves.

Looks like the Lord is taking this selfish act into his own hands. By the way, I think a lot of us are in the wrong business. If he has all this extra money, why not build a homeless shelter for the needy, but of course, that would take away from his own pleasure.

I read the post “The Real Problem for Schools Is?” and don’t understand why both sides are not written about. I don’t know the situation, but it seems this site likes to always present one side of a situation. I know one thing, …

Finding New Jobs?

Category: General Comments — Larry @ 2:54 am

The Development Authority of every city and town in the United States is fighting to find and have business and industry locate in their area.

Then, even within Georgia, southwest Georgia competes against the state’s emphasis on the Atlanta area, the new Kia car plant in West Point, and the emphasis on Georgia’s Atlantic seaport.
