Here are some of the issues that area residents are discussing. The statements were phoned in anonymously, so the Courier does not vouch for their veracity, nor do we know what motivated the callers:

I would like to ask our police department and our sheriff if they would sponsor a police-led motorcade in the city of Hinesville to support boxing for amateurs. This program would help keep young men off the streets, keep them out of trouble. A lot of them compete in a state, local and even national arena.

This goes out to Mr. Jones: I was in to pay my property tax, along with my car tags. I think the move was real nice, but I think the taxpayers should be notified about the move. I went up to the window, the young lady had her hair down. I was really shocked to see she was reading a book on property time.

People need to take into consideration that you cannot lie your way to heaven. That’s not the way to make it – it’s through love, peace, joy and understanding for your fellow man. Not lying.

We need a good football coach at Bradwell Institute that keeps his job by providing a good program for the kids and setting a good example for the kids.

I think it would be nice if the Coastal Courier would have a recipe of the week contest, and the winning recipe could be published in the paper.

These opinions are not the Courier’s. Callers are not required to identify themselves, so we can verify neither sources nor motives. You may also anonymously submit a comment online at http://coastalcourier.com/forms/soundoff.

“I am so sick of hearing and reading about Chick-fil-A opening on Sunday. This family is a Christian family and no Chick-fil-A has ever been open on Sunday. There are many other restaurants open on Sundays.”

“Thank you, former county Commissioner John McIver and city Councilman Chris Stacy for looking out for the people of Riceboro. There are many residents there who have died of cancer recently and no one else is caring for the people.”

“I glad we got a new chief, Kirkendall. I don’t know what he’s done, but I’m going to give him a chance.”

“Why won’t the sheriff’s department do anything about the four-wheelers screaming up and down the roads in Woodland Lakes and Lake George? And the BOA in Lake George won’t do anything either.”

“My God, American people, we are patriots by nature. How in the world could we have allowed so many Russians to be connected to a campaign for president? That’s not patriotic.”

“The worst neighbor in Rye Patch lets his dog run free and poop on others’ property. He’s too cheap to buy trash bags so his trash blows onto others’ property. And he’s just an annoying jerk.”

“Thank you, Niki Seale for writing a sensible letter to the editor in the April 4. I full support your views.”

“Sadly, being white and raised in Liberty County, I never really understood the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. But today, marking the 50th anniversary of his assassination, I realize that has changed over the last year and a half. I enjoyed all the articles in the Coastal Courier. And I think his significance is ever more important than ever.”
