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. ...

Response to the Statesboro Herald Article regarding the Five Mile Fire District

TO: Frank Parker, City Manager Mr. Parker, This letter is in response to the article in the Statesboro Herald this morning regarding statements made by Bulloch County. These comments are false, malicious and concern us deeply. There are several points within the article we would like to address. The first of these points is the concerns over Statesboro Fire Department not having a water tanker for rural ...

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. A couple of months ago, a City department head was notified by a concerned citizen that Bulloch County was considering holding a meeting regarding fire services and the City of ...

Thanks to all who helped make Project Graduation a success

Editor: Two weeks ago our community came together provide a safe, drug and alcohol free night for the graduates of Southeast Bulloch High School. Project Graduation 2011 was a huge success! 154 students showed up at The Clubhouse at 11 p.m. on graduation night to have a final party with their friends. Throughout the night they bowled, played laser tag, and played in the ballocity cage. They listened to music by Cold Duck ...

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 ...

A wonderful and moving Memorial Day

Editor: I have just left the Emma Kelly Theatre having attended the Memorial Service saluting and remembering the injured and fallen who took up arms allowing freedom to ring. Once again, since having met her in l955, I am taken and moved by the artistry of Roxie Remely who brought to the attention of today's audience what the term Memorial means, how it came to be and why it is one of the ...

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 ...

Please remove eyesore at Railroad Street

Editor: Do you think it might be possible for the Statesboro City Council, supported by the Downtown Development Authority, Keep Bulloch Beautiful, and the voice of the Statesboro Herald, to address the eyesore at Railroad Street and East Main Street? There is what appears to be several items of abandoned rail equipment, that have been there for as long as I can remember. Removing this unsightly collection would certainly improve the image of our ...

Too many questions remain on funding ag arena

Editor: There was so much in the article in the paper, Sunday, May 15 concerning the county and the 14-year -old "voted in" what is now being called Ag Arena, entitled "County Looks to Move on Ag Arena." First - How surprising it seems none of our elected commissioners of this county seem to recall, there is a law of the country, a law of the state - statute of limitations - which ...

Keeping US currency strong a key to economy

Editor: It probably won't surprise you if I said the dollar doesn't buy what it used to. However, our government is lying to us and giving Americans a very rosy picture of the future when the opposite is true. Now when I say "our government" I mean the Republicans, Democrats, Independents and any other flavor there might be. Here is what I mean. First, I am certainly not a math wiz or economist, ...

‘We the People’ need a tax break!

Editor: Here we go again. Tax and spend! When will the county commissioners give the taxpayers a break? When was the last time they called for a reduction in taxes? Why are we paying them to come up with new unnecessary government projects that require higher and higher taxes? I thought their job was to manage the legitimate government services – police, fire, public roads not a tax allocation district for I-16/US ...

Give Mexicans, Canadians right to work, not citizenship

Editor: Responding to comments on treatment of illegal immigrant student at UGA: Illegal does not always equal immoral. This country was founded on civil disobedience contesting the injustice f England's use of its authority over its colony. Much of our treatment of the original Americans was authorized by law, which later we came to see as not only unjust but cruel. Clearly the same was true with the permitting of slavery by our ...

Please support keeping the Daisy post office open

Editor: When Daisy Mayor Inman 'Junior' Brown heard from Nancy Ross, communications specialist for the United States Post Office, that the USPS wanted to hold a forum to find out if having a post office in Daisy was feasible, Brown's heart sank. Brown's immediate thought was that the post office would close, and "our little community would lost its identity." The small Evans County community is rich with history and tradition and much ...

Thanks for coverage of Sylvania Day of Prayer

Editor: Thanks for the wonderful article in last Saturday's Statesboro Herald covering Sylvania's National Day of Prayer Services held on Thursday, May 5th. You did a great job in your account of both services to the extent that it almost seemed like we were back again sharing in the programs! The article created much interest because you named so many of the program participants. In fact, parents of the Rev. Pete Wall, who ...
