Gratitude to voters for their support
Dear Friends in the 4th District and all of Effingham County, Words could never express how humbled I am by your vote of confidence in me. Your encouraging words, placement of signs, support, and most importantly, your prayers make me realize how blessed I am. I could never say thank you enough. I promise, with your guidance, to conduct myself in a professional and Christian manner. I ask for your continued prayers for all school, ...

A thanks to all the veterans from Hospice Savannah
Dear Editor, Hospice Savannah's staff, leaders and volunteers would like to thank and honor all past veterans as well as those currently going into harm's way to protect our freedoms, liberty and security on this Veterans Day, November 11, 2010. Whether it was storming Omaha Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944, or raising the flag on Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima where we had over 26,000 killed or wounded, or nursing and tending the wounded in ...
City does citizens no favor turning down concert
Dear Editor, My goodness, how short sited can our council members be. Do deny a special permit for an outdoor benefit concert? Why? Because it's Molly Hatchett is a mix of heavy metal and Southern rock? If the concerns are for security then make Dakota's pay for extra off duty police. You can bet the farm that if it was Billy Currington, they would not have hesitated. The city council seems to repeatedly block attempts to ...
Thanks for another great festival
Dear Editor, I would like to publicly thank the Effingham Herald and a number of others who helped to make the recent 27th bluegrass and gospel music festival at Mossy Oak Music Park in Guyton the largest ever. More than 3,000 visitors and nearly 500 campers from 32 states and Canada visited Guyton and our county over the five days. We were especially pleased to have the continued support of our County Commissioners, Mayor Michael Garvin and ...
Mason is the right choice for 3rd District
Dear Editor, As Tuesday approaches, I urge all eligible voters in the 3rd District to make sure and cast a vote for Steve Mason. As a small business owner, land owner and a concerned citizen, I cannot understate the importance of having fiscally conservative representation from the county level to the federal government. Having known Steve for 15 years, the citizens of our district will benefit greatly from his business and construction knowledge on our ...
Turned off by negative advertising
Dear Editor: I am totally appalled at the disgraceful ads our politicians are putting out over the airwaves. If one can't run on a positive slate of what they want to do to help our poor, sick, discouraged, misled people, they don't have much to offer and they definitely forgot the old saying, "He who slings mud loses ground." What's more, what are we telling our precious young people coming as they hear all this trash? ...
In support of Mock for the school board
Dear Editor, I am pleased to hear that Mose Mock is running for a position on the Effingham County School Board. I have known Mose for more than 17 years and know him to be a man of integrity. He will bring to the board his experience and knowledge of our schools, having years of experience a teacher and leader of our youth. His experience as an independent farmer/businessman brings a unique understanding of the need ...
Thanks to all who took part in Burn Foundation tourney
Dear Editor: It was a beautiful fall day in Savannah last Monday, when dozens of golfers headed to Southbridge Golf Club to play in the 2nd annual charity tournament benefitting the Southeastern Firefighters Burn Foundation in Augusta. The Burn Foundation and the Savannah community forged a unique and solid bond in February 2008 when 20 employees of Imperial Sugar Plant explosion were flown to Augusta for treatment at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center ...
In support of Mock for school board
Dear Editor, I would like to ask my friends in the 4th District to please consider voting for Mose Mock as your representative on the Effingham County School Board. Mose was a teacher in our school system for almost 29 years. He is very active in the First Baptist Church of Springfield - music leader, teacher, deacon and a number of committees. He also has served as chairman of the Treutlen House home for boys. He ...
Chamber thankful for support of its Oktoberfest
Dear Editor: Effingham County came together this past Friday and Saturday to support a new community event and support it you did. Over 3,500 people came out to enjoy the Effingham Chamber's first annual Effingham Oktoberfest at McCall Plaza. This was a great two-day festival, filled with great entertainment, great food, and beverage, and wonderful arts and crafts vendors along with community groups and sponsors. A festival like this can't happen without the help and support ...
In defense of votes against contracts
Dear Editor, On June 29, 2010, page 8, the Effingham Herald had a write up of the IDA meeting of June 22, 2010, during which the 2011 budget was voted on, plus a contract for site clearing and grading of Highway 21 industrial site. First I vote "no" to approve the budget of $3,756,271 clearing contract. I first questioned the item listed as capital office furnishings, $25,000. I questioned John Henry, the IDA CEO, who states ...
Time for progress in abiding by the ADA
Dear Editor: Twenty years ago a bill was signed into law to help people with disabilities enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness by making the United States accessible for all. However, people in positions to make that happen did not buy into that idea and 20 years later we are still asking, "When will people with disabilities be included into the mainstream of life?" I have not read that Effingham County nor Georgia was ...
A great thanks to Effingham Hospital
Dear Editor: On July 17, I entered Effingham Hospital for a knee replacement after nearly a year of pain and limited activity. Drs. Palmer and Myers did an outstanding job.Effingham Hospital also did an outstanding job. From the time I arrived, tests were made, my family was treated well before and after the surgery, and best of all, after the surgery I couldn't have asked for more. Nurses Linda, Barbara and Robin attended my every ...
City of Springfield earns gratitude
Dear Editor, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the City of Springfield for sponsoring the First Annual Effingham BBQ Cook Off. I am very impressed with how quickly the Mayor, City Manager, and Police Chief worked together at last minute to make it work. I have received excellent feedback from both participants and attendees of the inaugural event. It was, truthfully, a learning experience, which means that the next one will be even ...
