Dear Editor:
Dooly County parents have organized to fight for the educational rights of their children.
Because of the lawsuit against the Crisp County Board of Education filed by the U.S. Department of Justice, we as parents had to decide whether we would let our kids be forced out of the Crisp County school system or we would fight for their rights and the choice of school(s) to receive their education.

The 911 operator in Florida, I’d suggest, truly missed her calling in life. She is far better suited to be a movie script writer.

Rising prices of gas, food and just about everything else may be a cause for concern in many households. People are looking for ways to cut costs in expendable areas. Businesses are increasing costs to meet the increase in operating costs.

With the prices of so many things we must buy, including gasoline and food, going up, most of us are feeling the financial pinch. Perhaps no one is more affected, however, than those who work as servers in restaurants.

With this being Child Abuse Prevention Month, I have a few thoughts I’d like to share.

Here’s a jaw dropper! A group of Islamic clerics is asking that the way time is measured be changed.  They want to switch from Greenwich Mean Time (Greenwich England) to Mecca Mean Time.  They believe that Mecca is the center of the world so all time should be measured from that point.

There is only one place in the world to get a pool room hotdog and that’s at The Pool Room. You can have your Ball Park Franks and your bratwursts and your sausage dogs and your Coney Island dogs, but as for me and my family, we will have Pool Room Hotdogs.
