Opinion & Editorial

Where exactly is ‘my place?’

To the editor: A young innocent black man  was murdered by the police this last week. The event was horrendous and completely unjustified. The police personnel responsible were fired, charged and await trail on second degree murder charges.

No one wanted to help

To the editor: Mayor John Borrow, I am appalled at the most disappointing lack of support in a real time of need for my wife who is a Nationally Certified Emergency Registered Nurse. My wife is currently working under contract at the women’s prison in Alto.

DA’s office recused itself

To the editor: In Mr. Locke Arnold’s letter published in the Feb. 3, 2023, edition of the paper he expressed his dissatisfaction with the outcome of the Magistrate Gerald Johnson matter. It appears he mistakenly believed that my office was involved with this matter. It was not.

Amen to that, sir

To the editor: I go to Total Fitness five days a week and only miss days where I have a conflict. I know it has helped my heart as well as my lungs and overall well being. It is run daily by knowledgeable and friendly folks and the participants are friendly and overall good people.

Fitness center is a big loss

To the editor: When I moved to Habersham County 17 years ago, I was an overweight person who had trouble carrying out many of the activities I wished to do. Somewhere along the way, someone suggested I attend the Fitness Center located in the Ruby Fulbright Center.

This is the Week of the Raider

It’s a massive sports week in Habersham County, as the crossover of winter and spring sports has put plenty of games on the calendar. On Saturday, Raider Park will feature North Atlanta taking on Habersham Central in the first regular season game on the new turf field.

Help protect the Okefenokee

To the editor: In response to Dink Nesmith’s editorial last week about the imperiled Okefenokee Swamp, I would like to add a few comments and inform Georgia’s concerned citizens how they can have a voice in protecting the swamp in perpetuity.

Believe in recycling

To the editor: I never thought too much about recycling until I read in the paper that the Habersham County Landfill will reach capacity much sooner than expected, possibly in two years. Since then, I have been checking everything that I use to see if it is recyclable.

Disappointed in court system

To the editor: What about the court cases Gerald Johnson presided over while was on the bench? He admitted in court that he was a wreck and also under the influence of alcohol. All of the cases should be allowed to be heard over again. The court system has failed the people of Habersham County.
