All right people you are awfully quiet out there about the election comming up.I dont even see any signs out there yet. So lets get some input about some of your likes and dislikes.Like for one I was watching our local town meeting not long ago.

This is the first of this I have heard about lately,but it is not uncommon for things to go on in schools that are covered up all the time.I havent been in school for a long time.I have grands that are in High School now .But if I were the parent that you are talking about dont forget we the people are the ones who vote our school board in and in return they are the one with the power over the Pricipal and Super of the schools then in turn call JCSO or sled .We elect these people they owe some one some answers.Maybe a special meeting with the school board should be set up.The only thing is you

For months the paper printed article after article about Coach Cox down in Hardeeville. Yet nothing is mentioned about the sex rumors about the coaches and players in Ridgeland that everyone is talking about for two weeks. One mother is (upset). Are you protecting them? There appears to be at least four varsity boys (maybe more) involved. Lets see if there will be an out cry over this. The principal, AD, and girls varsity coach should be fired. Hey Board members, is this as bad as an arguement between two rival coaches? We'll be watching.

Well people once again we have an election in May.Does any one know who is going to be running? I am not really sure how many seats are open.So now is the time to put your input in.You would be suprised to find out just how many read this little blog.

I received a flyer in my mailbox today announcing "City of Hardeeville Mayor's Public Meeting". Thursday, 2/18, 6:30-8:00pm. City Hall Community Room, 205 E. Main St. Topics include: Mobile home ordinance, Okatie Crossings development, Hardeeville drainage concerns, Hardeeville crime.

In honor of Black History Month, a group of young people will present an original play at the Hardeeville Community Library at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 24

I know Ridgeland is thrilled that they finally beat Hardeeville. But did they really? They can't be too happy because coach Cox wasn't there. There's no way they could have pulled off that close win if he had been there. They barely beat a bunch of rookie coaches. They should thank the Board of Education and Taylor for that win. So put an * by that win. It was a hallow victory.
