Points to remember; the private sector versus the governmint, the formala for making Coca-Cola is still a secret locked in their vaults in Atlanta for over 100 years.

The Kentucky Fried Chicken original recipe is still a secret after all these years, while the formala for making a Hydrogen Bomb is on the Internet!

The dedication of the Mega Ramps on Wednesday by Governor Perdue and Senator Bulloch, county and city officials, with Mayor Reynolds, Master of Ceremonies had a great turnout and was a great success for the entire State of Georgia. As these ramps are in many places, Les Ager, a game warden was where the idea came from, he was at the weigh-in today. Many thanks to you, Les.

The Bass Junior Federation Tournament was held at Wingate’s on Saterday from safe daylite to 2 p.m.  The Hydrilla Gnats fed everyone hot dogs, hamburgers, venison sausages and soda pop. The top fisherman was Mathew Mullens, he was a great young man, as were all of the young men. It’s great to see young folks fishen and hunting.
