Letter to the Editor

Praise for leaders of the Fourth of July parade committee.

It has been an honor to be part of the 4th of July parade committee and to have the opportunity to help create something so spectacular for our town to enjoy. I have heard nothing but good things about the parade from the citizens of Loganville. They all seemed to really enjoy every part of the parade. I am very passionate about this town, the people in it, and the people I have grown to love on the parade committee. I am very thankful for the members of the city council that have supported us the whole way through this journey. It has truly been an honor to work with everyone on the parade committee, the volunteers, the sponsors and the council members that I had the pleasure of making connections with.

Although it was a combined effort, we could not have pulled this off without Jerry and Nancy Golden. They kept us motivated, inspired and excited throughout this whole process. If you are able to spend just 5 minutes around Jerry you will feel the energy, passion and excitement that pours out of his heart. And Nancy is right there with him. She puts so much of her heart and soul into everything she does. They are two of the most passionate people I know. And I just want to give a heartfelt Thank You to both Nancy and Jerry Golden for everything they have done to make this all possible. I love you both and I would stand behind you through anything.

Kim Williams, Loganville Fourth of July Parade Committee

Thank you for publishing my letter that I was trying to read at the city council meeting on Thursday evening but our Mayor would not allow me to read it. There were several people there that wanted to know what it said and now they have the opportunity to read it.

David, it's still there we are just in the process of working out the bug on uploading photos toRead More articles that we authored (ugh!). I just didn't want to promote it and have people try and upload photos unsuccessfully. Depending on how long it takes to address this issue, I may keep June open through part of July - I hope not. If you have any photos you want to add, email them to me and I will upload them for you in the meantime.

That is the strawberry fields. I have a picture of the strawberry fields between the welcome toRead More Loganville and welcome to Grayson signs that I will get up soon.

Rabies tag on dog leads to a disconnected owners number

Yea, sorry David. We are still dealing with some "issues." It rejected Jason's blog, andRead More none of us, not even our top regional editor, is being given authority to release it. Poor Jason, I know he so hates being rejected! And we hate it happening to him. The people not being "bugged" by technical issues, however, are reporting that it is super easy to use.

I wonder. Will Patch restore the reply button and add a responded to your comment notification?
Sharon Swanepoel (Editor) June 19, 2013 at 09:21 am
Please keep these comments coming. We are forwarding all these issues to our production team. TheRead More ones that are most pressing are more likely to be addressed first. Once we have the initial roll out completed and working well, the tweaking will begin.
Dave June 19, 2013 at 07:28 pm
I'm just reporting the news, Skal. I don't know the reasons although I could speculate. Just keepRead More your head down and don't answer the door.
TheSkalawag June 19, 2013 at 07:43 pm
Okay Dave ;-) Whatever you say:-) :-)
Good Grief Y'all June 19, 2013 at 07:47 pm
Scawwy stuff.
Sharon Swanepoel (Editor) June 18, 2013 at 03:05 pm
Tom, I will see if I can find the connection.
Sharon Swanepoel (Editor) June 18, 2013 at 05:51 pm
Good news! Her name is Izzi and she has been reunited with her owners.
Tom Laverick June 18, 2013 at 09:42 pm
Great News!!!!

All good points, Skalawag. I think bullying is a big problem with teens. When people are bulliedRead More they either become depressed and introverted or they become bullies themselves. We have examples all around us ;) " the government phobic response" . . . good one and a perfect description of so very many comments on Patch.
TheSkalawag June 19, 2013 at 07:50 pm
As usual Dave all you have are complaints about possible solutions but NO solutions of your own toRead More offer.
TheSkalawag June 19, 2013 at 07:55 pm
There's one in particular GGY.
TheSkalawag June 19, 2013 at 07:35 pm
I remember my Great Grandmother putting just enough coffee in a cup of milk to color the milk and weRead More would sit and have our "morning coffee" together before we went to the farmer's market on Saturdays or before we went to church on Sundays. Those were some of my most cherished times in my life.
Sharon Swanepoel (Editor) June 19, 2013 at 07:58 pm
So glad you have found your voice again Skalawag!
TheSkalawag June 19, 2013 at 08:12 pm
Me too. Couldn't have done it without you and your great IT team. Thank you Sharon.
Tammy Osier June 17, 2013 at 01:53 pm
DR, seems like an oxymoron doesn't it? I'd like to hear from someone who is actually from there toRead More find out their spin on why they even enter a contestant in the first place. It's my understanding that a woman that shows that much skin in public will be flogged or worse? Maybe democracy is taking ahold in some places, who knows?
Good Grief Y'all June 17, 2013 at 03:24 pm
I was wrong. Guys are interested pageants. You would no doubt be happy if the contestants justRead More wore the face shawl with their bikinis.
Karsten Torch June 17, 2013 at 04:30 pm
Couple of thoughts - One, why hold it in a land where there is going to be this kind of protest?Read More Just move it and don't worry about it. Other, I find it interesting how the Muslims want us to be understanding and inclusive of their beliefs, but don't even think they'll allow anything they don't agree with. Just a tad bit hypocritical...

You mean the FEES don't you? Cause they aint taxes don't you know...
Bonnie June 14, 2013 at 11:50 am
I call it a "rainbow!"
M.K. Osborne June 14, 2013 at 03:30 pm
Fees is when its lightning too .
Mr. B June 13, 2013 at 01:29 pm
They're not Americans. They don't deserve to step foot on American soil.
Good Grief Y'all June 13, 2013 at 01:34 pm
Meh, a difference without distinction.
Good Grief Y'all June 13, 2013 at 01:37 pm
Huh, you learn something once in a while on Patch blog threads. I didn't know you must be anRead More American citizen to be tried and convicted of crimes against America . . . ;p I think John and Sarah could handle them . . . you betcha! They would probably beg to be sent back to Gitmo. LOL
