New landfill site?
Dear editor:
My regards to Clay Mercer!
All the city and county trash going into the landfill and the use of dumpsters set in certain locations does pose quite a problem, adding more trash on the highways and the area around these sites.
But Clay, you will be glad to know that with the addition of the new landfill in the Meadow Park Subdivision, the county’s trash problems will be somewhat relieved. County officials can rest easy, because no liner is required, thus saving the county thousands of dollars.
After all, this will keep the county taxes as low as possible for the community. There is no maintenance to the new landfill, another cost saving, but the residents of Meadow Park Subdivision are proud to be a part of the community. This site will provide homes for rats, snakes, rogue animals and stray dogs.
We agree with P.E.T.A. That was a great concern. What would happen to all the little animals?
The best part of all is the slumlords will also benefit with the new landfill. The county codes that cover refuse and health issues do not apply.
So who says progress is not good. I think anything that is a plus for Crisp County is a plus for me. Gosh, where have I heard that before?
This site is located just off US 41 North, on Virginia St. There is no tonnage limit or cost.
Are you kidding me? There is no landfill! It just looks like one, and the residents are sick of the trash, junk, high grass and smell. They are tired of rundown shanties, not fit for any human to live in. ONLY IN AMERICA!

You will not believe it! Shoot, I wouldn’t believe it myself had I not observed the sight with my own eyes.
Yesterday was hot. I mean really hot with the humidity high and the temperature within a couple of degrees of 100 even after 8 p.m. when I began my daily run through the woods and fields of the backside. -

Share thoughts about war in Iraq
Now that combat troops have pulled out of Iraq, the Cordele Dispatch would like to hear how readers feel about the conflict. If you are from the Crisp, Dooly, Wilcox area and you served any time in that country, would you share your experiences and tell us if you think the country will succeed as a democratic nation?

Legislating morality: everybody is doing it
Without fail, when conservatives take a position on a moral concern, liberals will angrily assert, “You can’t legislate morality!”

Taking my own advice
If you’re like me, you probably enjoy handing out advice, both solicited and unsolicited. After all, those of us who have vast life experiences owe it to those with less experience to share our wisdom.

The most valuable gift
The Jewish Temple had many gates. One of them was called “Beautiful.”
Here a certain lame man sat each day because it was a well traveled area with people entering and exiting the temple constantly. Perhaps a kind soul would show mercy and drop a coin or two for him. -
Readers comment on 24th Ave.-Frontage Rd. traffic jam
Fortunately, I no longer have children attending CCHS that have to deal with this problem. I however think there could have been a better way of handling the road construction without completely closing the road.
