Quips from you to us
Hey Henry, Henry County haiku: Kids toss cherry bombs.
Boat sinks, beer lost, children laugh ‘til Pop swims ashore.
Hey Henry, the homeless family living in their van near Wal-
Mart are stuck because their vehicle is beyond repair. They are
from out of state and cannot get jobs without a local driver’s
license. They can’t get a license without a permanent address.
Several individuals and groups have been working with them
to find a solution. Where do you want them to go?
Hey Henry, in response to the Henry County Board of
Education, I couldn't agree more! Some of our board members
are giving Henry County a bad name. It’s embarrassing and
unprofessional when a board looks so divided and combative.
Please, do as the previous writer suggested and visit a board
meeting, let them know Henry County will not stand to be
embarrassed and that our students and teachers deserve bet-
ter.
Hey Henry, why does road construction take so long in this
county? What kind of contractors do we hire that they can’t
get any job done in a timely manner? Why doesn’t the county
and city make more noise and see to it that our projects are
given adequate and expeditious attention? They seem asleep at
the wheel allowing projects to drag on forever.
Hey Henry, I’m getting married in 25 days! I love you so much
Sgt J.Banister. I can’t wait to be your Mrs.
Hey Henry, in North Henry on Panola Road near the intersec-
tion at Hwy. 155, there are several trees that need trimming. I
have seen tall trucks hitting the trees and they are leaning so
badly. They have been leaning for years, but this year it is get-
ting critical for the county to do some cutting. Is the county
waiting for a tree to fall on a vehicle?
Hey Henry, to the person talking about “Teacher Appreciation
Week.” Secretary’s week was the week prior and you may deal
with the parents, but not the children.
Hey Henry, are the Commissioners working on updating the
Future Land Use Map? They said they would, but will they
take action? Meanwhile, high density apartments and housing
are being approved by the Zoning Board. We must update the
FLUM to control growth. We do not have to allow high densi-
ty, undesirable housing here. The FLUM needs to be updated
now. Get busy Commissioners!
Hey Henry, Mr. Teti the band director at Ola Middle has done
it again. Amajority of his students entering the 6th grade have
never picked up an instrument. Hearing his students in 7th and
8th grade perform was breath taking. It is no wonder that he
has over 400 students in band. Both Mr. Teti and his kids are
amazing. Visit the Ola Bands Facebook page to hear them.
Hey Henry, can anyone tell me which restroom we are sup-
posed to use. Oh, the government already has.
Hey Henry, why do Clayton and Butts counties’ have free
lunch for all students yet Henry County Schools keep raising
their lunch prices? I am pretty sure that Henry County does
not have better food.
Hey Henry, to the lady that was working at the thrift store,
thank you for paying for my items! You made me very happy.
Words can not express to you the thoughts and feelings that I
had going on at the time. Thanks again!
