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:

The garbage workers who work the 1000 block of Bacon Road, please come back out on Bacon Road and clean up your mess that you left from picking up the garbage. You left a big mess.

The word on the street is that the Long County Sheriff is having to do two jobs — sheriff of the county and resource officer at the school, and he’s getting paid for both jobs. Is this dedication or greed? You make the call.

The absolute most corrupt politicians in Georgia are in Long County. A prominent attorney told me, it is not that they in Long County mean to tell lies. It’s just that they are ignorant of the laws. That’s a poor excuse.

Liberty County needs to put a no-smoking ban, especially at Walmart. I went to Walmart the other day and came out, and with half the employees, it smelled like a dang smoke factory. So they need to put a ban in the county, and in the city, too.

This is to the caller who said it’s unfair for a coach to play an eighth-grader ahead of a ninth-grader: If the eighth-grader is better than the ninth-grader, he should play and make his team win.

HOW TO PACIFY AN IRATE CALLER

“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.”
