Here are some of the issues being discussed by area residents. The statements were phoned in anonymously, so the Courier does not know if they are true, nor what motivated the callers:

 

I just want to thank Thomas and Donna for adopting me as their grandmother. They come by and check on me at least three or four times a week. I’m 66 years old.

This is kudos instead of complaints. The commander of the VFW has done an awesome job the last two years. His charitable acts and events have put the post on the map in Hinesville. We all hope he plans to stick around.

This is for the little gossip clichés in Gum Branch, the old ones and young ones: Quit telling lies on people just because you are jealous. You have the same chance in life as everybody else.

I wonder what it was that the Hinesville Police officer was doing that made his car swerve off the road twice while I was behind him. If it had been me, he would have pulled me over to ask what I was doing.

This is to all the tax-and-spend politicians in Hinesville. I’m ready to buy some tea bags and start getting you guys voted out. I’m sick of high taxes and you guys spending, spending, spending.

Black History Month is something blacks choose to celebrate because blacks have not been acknowledged properly in past history books. It’s a way to let black children know of the positive accomplishments of their ancestors.

To the caller complaining about Black History Month: You got 11 other months and you have everything else, let us have our little ol’ history month and it’s the shortest one of them all.

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.”
