The county commissioners can't buy a $30 tape recorder for their meetings, but they can buy a full page ad to display their brand of fertilizer. Typical of this bunch!

"Professing" Christians need to learn to live like Christians. Gossiping and slandering needs to stop!

Attn. Mobile Home Residents and Owners: The city is raising the issue about mobile homes again. You need to keep the heat on your "representative" before they force you out of your home!

Some peopl e who volunteered for the Swamp Gravy plays are no longer asked because executive director has a problem with them.

It was sure good to see the City Manager representing Miller County at the major wreck on 27. If it would have been a county commissioner they would have more than likely screwed the entire accident up like they do everything else. Way to go City of Colquitt and thank you those who responded to the wreck, things are looking up!

Colquitt-Miller Arts Council Board - you are there for a reason. Wake up! Some of the people who were devoted and cared about promoting our town and county are gone.

SAY! Have you seen those pictures from Iowa of people looting liquor stores, carrying TVs from retail stores, sitting on roofs begging for someone to take care of them, and collecting in the ball parks complaining about the food and shelter? No, neither have I.

Congratulat ions and thanks to our sheriff 's department, police department, dispatchers, EMTs and fire department for the wonderful job they did during the accident. Job well done!

Is it true that some empty seats at the Arts Council events were paid for by New Life Learning Center grant money?

Thanks to Mr. G.C. Jinks, Sr. for all your money that has been given by the Jinks Foundation in memory of your wife.

Hats off to all the volunteers for Swamp Gravy and Arts Council. We appreciate them. It is a shame mismanagement and unconcern by Arts Council Staff has resulted in the Arts Council being "broke".

Are the Jinks in control of everything because they donate a lot of money? I thought when you donated it was no longer yours.

The salary of the manager of the Arts Council would cover several salaries. She is seldom there anyway. What is her job?

The new school looks good. Is it still on schedule to be finished by December of this year?

No, you do not have to have a degree in interior design to be a school teacher. No one ever said you did! You can definitely tell what teachers get excited about teaching and which ones are only

there for a paycheck.
