Wow I got news for you dude!!! I did not recall Obama being the President Yet!! I was making a general statment that important people does not dress like that I see all the clothes in stores modeled after the Rappers and they get the ill fitting clothes idea from Prison clothing. I was making a factual statement and you want to turn it into racism. I will also state that Garmin7979 you do not have the right to bring religon in on this as the pictures you see Of Jesus is what Man has pictured him to look like. Well if we were back in George Washington's day we would all be wearing wigs.See this day and age you have to teach Values I guess you are without values to say the things you do on here everytime I write a comment. If you were a Man then you would grow up and not be a trouble maker on here,Get a life dude.You may find it a little easier to read my comment . You are not God so you are not perfect . I will not stand for you trying to put me down for what I comment on so now the fight is on Brother!!!!!!!
Well here we go again. Rebell in the school system,because of dress code. I find that why you send children to school is to learn and be able to adapt in the world's work force. I hate to see people out of uniform at work. I worked in a local Plant in Oconee County that started a dress code of uniforms, most rebelled,but soon adapted the process as if they didn't they would no longer have a job. See if you put football or basketball. soccer, or baseball players out on the playing field out of uniform ,we would not know what side the players were on, and with all the killing and people being in a school that should not be there ,then we are policeing and making schools safer for our kids. I went to Walhalla Schools in the 1960's and 70's,and if we would have had a dress code back then well maybe things would have been better, but now the world has gotten a lot more aggressive and shootings and drugs are more in the schools now. I for one would want my child if I had one in school to be out of harm's way and get the best education and learn to dress to go out into the workforce and be productive. The "thug or gang" related clothing is baggy and ill fitting clothes that the clothing manufacturers have modeled after ill fitting prison clothing. Well if you want yor kid to dress like the "Rappers" or other idols ,then guess what--- Your child may end up in prison because that is the only place that ill fitting clothing will fit into this society,not in our productive work force. I hope that I never see the President of the United States in such ill fitting dress code. So start young in teaching proper dress atire and who knows maybe your Kid will make a difference in the way the world is run. Dress for the occassion ,not to impress the Gangs and Thugs that I see coming from this kind of slouchy Dressing. It is about time we got Values started while kids are young. it is hard to teach an ole' dog new tricks and with kids becoming our next young adults to go out and run our work force it starts at Home with values and in the schools. I am a Tax Payer For The County School System and by that I believe that now some of my money is now being well spent on education ,a part of education is a Dress Code.
This is a farse, you have a controlling majority of the people attending and voicing that are living in gated communities. These people who live in side the gates already have land use regulations. And while some want the county to be restricted ,most of the citizens do no want restrictions. We are being forced to abide by the wealthy and the high society bosses. If I buy and pay for my land and keep taxes payed on it I should be able to put what I want on my property,Mobile homes and so called Junk cars if I want them. I say it is no worse than the lake people having all their decorations in their yards,like swimming pools and lawn furniture. or their fancy rose gardens. My land and what sits on it is what I want ,not what others want me to have. Quit being a select type of individual that thinks of only the investment of their property ,I payed for mine just like you did ,with hard earned cash,I sweated to have my property and what's on it and if you don't like it close your eyes or find away to advoid going around where you might find an eyesore yard . I can't come into the gated communites and see if I like their yards so stay behind your gates if you don't like what you see here. It is mine and paid for and I bet I will die fighting to keep my Mobile Home and Junk Cars in my yard . I have just as much right to have in my yard what I want as you Gated people. Why do you come here to start trouble? I didn't go to where you are from or jump up and say no to you putting your gates around the lake if you are so hard up to pay 5 times as much as that land was worth ,I say that you are to ignorant to tell me what I should have on my property. Get it and get it clear ,if you want to fight the Army needs fighters , I just need neighbors that are not controlling.I don't care what my neighbor does as long as it is legal and I do not mean that a home that is stick built or mobile like a mobile home is illegal,or if some one wants a junk car or two in their yard that shouldn't be illegal either. Just keep the druggies and the homeless out of our county.Junk cars and mobile homes do not have to leave my county.I am a borned citzen of Oconee County and a Taxpayer. I own land in Oconee County next just outside of Seneca, and land inside Walhalla. I have a Mobile home on one and a Mill Hill House built in 1924 and are proud to own a peice of the American Dream. I have my so called junk in my yards also and are proud of every peice of it. As it all belongs to me.It must be desirable to have as I get offers all the time for my junk car that is not for sell. Seems like a lot of people is getting into the junk dealings these days as it is starting to become profitable.
Wow, Lets really get serious about South Carolina roads. The SCDOT had a woman supervisor who used her family busniness to take care of our roads while our state owned tractors sit idling just to add time to them and wearing them out without using them to keep up our roads while her family busniness pocketed all of our state tax dollars and on top of that she retired with a millon dollar pension. so the State is out of funds to repair and mow our roads because of waste in our government. Also our county roads are in such bad shape and the County cuts the budget for the roads dept. but pushes for Spec buildings and Sewer at the Ables Hayfield County Commerce Park in FairPlay next to I85. Sounds like another government problem .Also the Sherriffs dept budget is cut and now our emergency service is pushed with a 10 millon dollar fire dept for Westminster,well without good roads you will never get those fire trucks to the fire in safe and quick manner. Our fire dept was not broken maybe a little out dated but most of the Fire chiefs in the 17 county fire depts would not apply for federal funds so now us Taxed to death taxpayers are paying for A county Fire protection ,yet our roads are not equipped to send fire trucks to heart attack calls all over the county . Seems like someone watched to many tv programs where they have 4 lanes and flat terrin and good roads for those fire trucks to respond to every little 911 call. Oconee County is not equipped for those fire trucks to be racing all over for what our county Rescue and Hospital Ambulance should be responding to.Fix the Roads so it is safe then move to other services not start in the middle and never work outwards. This is putting the cart before the horse. Roads are and should be the number one priorty in This County And the State Of South Carolina.
Flush ------------ Sewer-------- uses water---------Where are they going to get water to flush -------sewer at the hayfield? Flush--------sewer---------flush--------sewer---No water---- Lakes and streams drying up---------flush-----sewer.LOL---flush-----Sewer--------The joke is on us Taxpayers-----Flush-------Sewer------The burden is on us Taxpayers----Flush-------Sewer-----The stink will be on us Taxpayers---Flush ----Sewer-----no WATER--------Think about it County Council before you Flush our precious Tax Dollars down the Sewer-----Flush----The----Sewer---in--a--Hayfield----Flush------Tax dollars on speculation the County Council is the Sewer-------flush!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a pork barrel spending.If someone out in the county wants sewer let them pay for it. I see plenty of land avalible for sell in the county that has access to sewer and water without spending tax dollars for an outsider with outside workers to come in and mooch off of us tax to death taxpayers.Why build a hotel or motel on I85 for Anderson or nearby Georgia to get all the trade. Does not make dollar sense to the citizens of Oconee County South Carolina to pay this pork bill. I know that the County council wants to build a Spec Building on the Hayfield property,and if so would this building be the Hotel, No it would not. I think speculating on commerce is a wrong for the council.I did not elect them to buy and sell realestate I put them in office to take care of the county needs. Roads that have been neglected. Tall grass and overgrown bushes along our county roads is need of updates present buildings that belong to the county through our tax dollars are run down and in need of repair,the council buys 400 acres and sells 7 acres of it for 42,000.00 and brags on turning a profit still the owner of this property has not built,yes there is no sewer or water but septic tanks and wells are put in every day. Why wasn't the county folks given an oppertunity to have county sewer and water in Salem or Moutain Rest . I guess those tax payers are just looked over when updating a community. As I said before Me and Lot other taxpayers elected the County Council to run Government Affairs not to be realestate sellers. I see that some people get greety and buy low and sell high as relestate flippers. I was borned and raised here and want to live and die here not to be a flipper. I see our county council can't manage our budget,keeps millions in reserves and continues to raise taxes for pork barrel spending. Well I see that they can't even manage a hayfield either. letting someone cut hay for the person's gain on our tax dollar hayfield. Every one of the Council needs to be brought up on charges of theft and pay us tax payers back what the stole from us against our knowlege.
He was breaking a State Law so He is saying that the Walhalla Police Banned him from Main Street. I was saying that he did not have a reason to write and complain. Apparently he did not know the State Law for use of a golf cart on public streets. These golf carts are a danger to every one, they were only designed to be used on a golf course not on our pubic highways. I think to many laws that are minor offenses are broken in front of the police and most times the police never even stop the vehicle to warn of the infraction. Now minor laws broken leads to bigger laws being broken, and then someone is put in danger of being hurt or killed . I say enforce all laws on the books,and quit looking the other way. I think Walhalla made a good valid call on this situation and this man is complaining because he could not ride his golf cart on a primary road. The most important thing to learn here is not for your savings of a little gas but safety for all on primary roads. I can not ride a lawn mower on the streets and it gets far better gas savings than the golf cart. Put the golf cart back in it's place- the Golf Course- the streets are not a golf course. I hope you get The message. Safety is the number one consern in this situation!!!!!
Golf carts are just that, I hate to see a golf cart on tax dollar highways or on side walks that are made by tax dollars to walk on.You need to go to a golf course to use these carts. I say that you did not read the rules of the roads or you would have never been on a primary road with a golf cart . South Carolina law not the Wallhalla law states that a Golf Cart can only be driven on a secondary road up to two miles from the golf cart owners house and it has to have a sticker issued to the golf cart through the state highway dept. saying that it passed inspection to be used on secondary roads up to two miles from the owners home and is required to have insurance the same as a car. I say praise to the Walhalla Police for finally upholding a State Law. if you want to drive on Main Street I suggest that you do it Legal, In the State of South Carolina the State Law overrides local Law, so Walhalla was doing the right thing,you were a law breaker and should have been fined and points off your driving record.If you didn't have the required insurance, highway dept sticker or drivers license then if you got off with a warning from Walhalla Police then count your blessing. I think you need to learn the Law of South Carolina before you get behind a wheel of any motorized vehicle again. The rules of the road can be obtained the Highway dept. IT is called the South Carolina Drivers Hand Book or can be veiwed on the the web at the South Carolina Dept of Motor Vehicles. Learn the Laws instead of writing to the paper and complaining over your mistake not Walhalla doing it's job in keeping golf carts off primary roads that is what the South Carolina State Law says for the Police to do is uphold and enforce all laws State Federal And Local The police done their job. Now do yours and read the law before you or someone else gets hurt or worse dead. I would like to see golf carts back on golf courses not on highway. I can't ride a 4wheeler on the streets or a go cart .you are lucky that the golf carts got a break and can be used up to two miles from the registerd owners home on secondary roads only. Wake up and read the Laws before you spout off thinking that the local law is harrassing you.
South Cove, yes it is all trashed out. I have been camping for about 8 years at south cove. The sites are unlevel no gravel no site markers to tell what site you are on, some sites not open due to new water lines that was installed last year took the power out at those sites and never was fixed so no 88 spots at south cove any more,just extra parking space for extra boats and vehicles ,this is not fair . Most of the time grass needs cutting and the park superinendent of the park has friends that can stay on sites more than 30 days without moving .Alcohol is in the park illegal, golf carts with underage drivers running loose. THey stop taking gate fees at 4 0r 5:00 pm. Bathrooms trashed and dirty. But at High Falls it is a different ballgame,I have been there and the Superintendent is taking money as late as 8 pm. Now the County has raised the fees to use these parks, yes some of our tax dollars go for the parks and now the county residents have to pay 15.00 for interior sites and 20.00 for water front,no discounts for senior or disabled. the out of county and out of state people that use our parks and take spaces away from the county residents only pay 5.00 more a day for our spaces and do not pay any county tax. this is unfair to the county residents I say that I will not be happy and camp again until the county rights its wrongs in the pricing us seniors and Disabled from using the park system at a reduced fees . this is a way the county thinks up a way to pay for the county big ticket projects. I say stick the higher fees to the out of county and out of state people who use and abuse our South Cove Park. not us taxpayers who have to provide rec. for out of county people and the North Carolina people who come in and hog our parks all summer long for 20.00 interior sites and 25.00 for water front. that is cheep to outsiders and remember they don't pay the county tax that our parks are funded by.I say that for out of county or out of state people need to pay 30.00 for interior sites and 40.00 for water front sites a day ,then they would not hog spaces all summer as all they have to do is have a buddy and trade sites every 30 days, some of these do just that or register in someone elses name for 30 days and never leave that site so someone else could have a chance at a prime site, this is downright unfair to us taxpayers, so stick it to the outsiders to pay for what a few really wants in this county . I pay my share of taxes and would like to use the park at my leasure not the ousiders mooching off my tax dollars.
dds8892, I want you to get facts before you post I know that the KKK carries the American Flag more than the Confederate Battle Flag,If you don't beleive then just do a search on the KKK I have seen plenty of their marches and in each one is the Flag of the United States Of America,so should we band the US flag just because a group flys it. Well I wanted to set the facts straight The battle flag never was a racist flag. It was a Battle Flag ,one that split the US in two. Now I say that all the NACCP is the racist group as they keep the pot brewing. I don't see anyone of them ever being placed into Slavery. That was in the 1860's and before.The Confederate Battle Flag is a reminder of a divided time when the fate of the nation was uncertain, now United we Stand ,Divided We Fall. I am in favor of flying the flag as a rememberance to all of the dead soldiers that fought a battle that really no one came out a winner. If we lose this Flag then we will not be reminded of the breaking up of families over Prosperity that the South had over the North. Slavery was not what the Civil War as about . IT was the issue of the South prospering over the North. I really have studied this war and understand why it was fought , not for Slaves but for the wealth the plantation owners had over the North.Because w had no offical Law in the South a group called the KKK became the law at that time now they are just a grup and yes a band of them was racist and done unspeakable things a lot of the KKK was a group that keep law and order in that time ,just like Texas had the Texas Rangers and out west had the federal Marshalls, well it the sSouth We had the KKK. THat was in a diffrent time than we live now ,so I say NACCP and all of it's kind you are the one's that need to cut the strings and let the War die. YOu can't change what happened in that time period.Signed A card Carrying Member of the KKK.

Well if we were back in George Washington's day we would all be wearing wigs.See this day and age you have to teach Values I guess you are without values to say the things you do on here everytime I write a comment. If you were a Man then you would grow up and not be a trouble maker on here,Get a life dude.You may find it a little easier to read my comment . You are not God so you are not perfect .
