A public school dress code may make sense in Bulloch

Editor: I just read the story about Evans County Public Schools' new policy on their dress code. They are requiring a uniform policy that uses khaki or black (no denim) pants, skirts, or shorts and tops that must have a collars and sleeves solid in color-black, white, gold/yellow or gray to reflect school colors. School officials did a survey with parents to get their input. They found that a majority of parents were ...

Sons of Confederate Veterans offers CD about the Civil War

Editor: After more than two decades of misinformation about the history of the Confederate Battle Flag, and Southern heritage in general, in Georgia politics and the media, there is a large and growing movement of citizens who are harkening back to their roots and arming themselves with the truth. An audio CD entitled "The Truth About the Confederate Battle Flag" put out by the Georgia Sons of Confederate Veterans is raising eyebrows now that ...

The national debt and balanced budget crisis

Editor: The Federal government has expanded into areas not authorized by Article I, section 8 of the Constitution, which limits the Federal government's responsibility. Everything else is a state or local government responsibility as outlined by the Tenth Amendment (Bill of Rights). An example of this is the Federal Department of Education. Article I does not list education as a Federal responsibility. Liberals believe that the Federal government has unlimited power. More ...

Thanks to the caring folks at Ogeechee Area Hospice

Don't forget who took away protection from Ogeechee, Altamaha

Editor: It shouldn't go unnoticed or unpublished that during the debt crisis, the Republican House, along with Democrat John Barrow, found plenty of time to vote to end the clean water act and remove protection for our waterways. This in a time when the Ogeechee and Altamaha rivers are at great risks. The names of these representatives are published in The Washington Post and this paper should step forward and keep the public ...

Great that more diabetes education now offered in Statesboro

Editor: Ninety per cent of diabetic patients are treated by their primary care physician and unfortunately only 14 percent receive education by a certified diabetes educator or any other nurse or dietitian. It is wonderful that Susan Riley, FNP, DNP received a grant to offer group diabetes education in the community. She has been offering this type of education through her husband's family practice office, where she is a family nurse practitioner, since ...

Why do we need to raise debt ceiling?

Editor: I do not understand our government's need to raise the debt level ... it is already a huge amount. Why do we need to do this? And why do they always say ... we're cutting Social Security, education, police and firemen's salaries? Why not take every bill that is before the legislators and cut their price tag in half? That should certainly help with the debt level. Then pay back to Social Security ...

Americans need to take control of our country

Editor: As of this writing, we have 'the leader of the free world' apologizing to those with whom we have nothing to apologize to, ignoring the generals and other experts and bringing home those in Afghanistan too early, blaming every problem on an earlier president, enforcing anti-immigration policies at the expense of Georgia's farmers, and treating himself to weekend after weekend of golf. The destruction of America is coming closer and closer to reality. ...

City manager responds to county accusations

First, let me say that a more formal response will be released by the City of Statesboro later, but for now I need to respond to an article in today's Statesboro Herald in which inaccurate and incomplete information was released by the County.

Government should stay out of rail service, port dredging

Editor: Wednesday's paper had two stories about the state government getting involved in high speed passenger rail service and the deepening of the Port of Savannah so it can accommodate the new super large cargo ships. Both stories point out what has gone wrong with the role of government in this country. The rail passenger story indicated that a referendum on the August 12 primary ballot would ask us to vote to add ...

County planning for early SPLOST vote extension

Editor: The County Commissioners are continuing their desire to increase our taxes by over $70 million dollars. They have chosen to hold a vote to extend the SPLOST taxes this November when few people will go to the polls, rather than schedule the vote in November 2012, a Presidential voting year, when the maximum number of voters would vote. They are planning this vote when they know the smallest number of people will ...
