Here are some of the issues 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 real estate agents and brokers are still trying to get people to buy homes. They’re pleading with people. But anyone who’d buy a home in this economy, this market, is not in their right minds.

 In response to the caller who said Walthourville is ever changing and improving. Yes, the mayor has made some encouraging changes. She needs to look at the fire department next. That should be her next step. It needs serious help.

Can anybody tell me where the Winn Army Community Hospital’s claims office moved to since there was no notice put out?

There’s one quick question I’d like to ask men who want their wives or girlfriends to work full-time: If she’s working all the time, who’s going to clean the house, do the laundry, take care of the home?

To the guy who wants somebody else’s job, remember if you lie about someone else it will come back tenfold. You may never get the job and get fired.

Hurrah for the mayor of Pooler, who had the heart and nerve to go forward and get the law changed about having prayer at the senior citizen center. Thanks for standing up for what’s right and our rights.

 I wish the people who own the property that goes between Gen. Stewart Way and Elizabeth Street would cut their grass so everybody could be smiling.

The comment about seeing only Mexicans at local construction sites is totally uncalled for. Could it be that Hispanics are hard workers and employers know that?

HOW TO PACIFY AN IRATE CALLER

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.”
