Retiring Crisp Regional hospital administrator gets praise
Dear Editor:
Regarding your recent article related to Wayne Martin's announcement of his pending retirement from Crisp Regional Hospital, please allow me to share that this is a huge loss not only for Crisp Regional and for those the organization serves but also for the entire state of Georgia.
I had the privilege of working for Mr. Martin as director of Support Services from 2001 - 2002. He has and continues to be a mentor and friend.
He gave me sound advice early in my career that I hold strongly to to this day! His advocacy for the associates who work tirelessly every day to ensure quality healthcare, respect and support for the physicians, many of whom he personally recruited to the area, are examples of leadership characteristics that he possesses.
Most importantly, consistent compassion and focus on doing the right thing every time for those in need are seen in his daily activities.
I do wish Mr. Wright much success as he assumes leadership of Crisp Regional - he truly has large shoes to fill!
Thank you!
Jay Dennard,
Assistant Administrator
Gwinnett Medical Center
Duluth, GA

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.
