As I have gotten older, it is more someone I know personally that tends to stand firm in their faith. But no fault of their own, they still tend to disappoint me sometimes, and I know I have disappointed others, friends, and family, at some point in my life as well.
We recognize that this has been disruptive to your viewing. It has created many unclean news segments which are very frustrating to watch. What is not seen is the countless hours of work our engineering team has put in to make these changes, as well as the many hours of training and stress that our staff has undergone to get us to where we are today.
So, men, dads, fathers, it’s time we step up to the plate and be the men God put us here to be as a father. That child is ours to raise, not just their mothers or grandparents. Certainly not their coaches or teachers, preachers or friends’ parents — it’s ours.
It’s 2022 and another political year is upon us. This year, like 2020, will again be a very active one for our airways. Messages were tossed back and forth from differing politicians and political parties.
So many will have difficulties supplying their children with the supplies they need this year as they return back to school. That’s why WALB is partnering with The United Way of Southwest Georgia as they announce their inaugural “Stuff the Bus” school supply drive.
Yes, the American flag is special. Reasons of which are why so many want to come to our country, happily fly it as their flag — not the other way around.
WALB is not just in the community, we are part of the community. We have decided to do our part to keep our community being a place we are proud to live in.
As we enter the remaining days of the year and look forward to a fresh new start to our lives, stop for a moment and reflect on the true spirit of Southwest Georgia, the true spirit of your neighbor and the true spirit of Christmas!
This Friday night, I will be at a game. I hope you will as well. Support those that made the tough decision to play. That pushed forward and didn’t coward to this virus and the naysayers.
But it’s so important that we continue down this path of social distancing in order to flatten the curve and minimize long term economic harm to our businesses, to our community, to our state.
Chronic hunger is a major problem here in South Georgia. In Dougherty and surrounding counties, one in four residents are “food insecure” as we call it, many times not knowing where the next meal is coming from for them and their families.
But just as we report on the bad, it is also our responsibility to tell you about the good things that happen where you live — the stories about neighbors helping neighbors, and South Georgians working together to make this an amazing place to raise our families.
Now, the city has hired a company called Spectra to manage the Civic Center, Municipal Auditorium, and Veterans Amphitheater. And so far, the new leadership is paying off.
Together, with you — our WALB viewers — we have laughed, celebrated, cried, weathered storms, floods, recovery and rebuilding over the last six decades.
