If someone, family member or friend, will contact me, 770-567-0531, I am on the board of Impact Christian Ministries and we have a clothing bank in Barnesville with both childrens' and adult clothing as well as some shoes. Most of our clothing is new/unused. The family can have what ever they need - no costs - and I can arrange to have it brought over to where ever is convenient in Pike if need be.

May God bless you for your thoughtfulness.

#1.1.1 Edd Sanders on 06/10/10 at 01:01 PM

Being about my Father's work. Got some of the hard to get items.

#1.2 Trisha Dabbs on 06/09/10 at 06:55 PM

I contacted Roosevelt Willis and asked him to give you a call. Thank you so much, Edd, you make the world a better place one person at a time.

thank god we have henderson as a professional fire chief in pike county. could you imagine the loss if he wasn't here?

#3 Edd Sanders on 06/09/10 at 11:29 AM

If family or friend will call me @ 770-567-0531, I am on Impact Christian ministries board and we have a clothes market in Barnesville. We have both adult & children clothing and shoes, most of which is new/unused. The family can get what they need - no cost. If needed I can have it brought to Pike for pickup. Let me know.

Do you think size Large shirt will fit if they are quality shirts? They are Old Navy, Dockers, Izod, etc. I know they tend to run a little larger than other shirts. If you think these will fit, please acknowledge on this blog. I will drop them off at the commissioners' office. I am sorry for your loss.

#4.1 Trisha Dabbs on 06/09/10 at 05:07 PM

Sheila, please do drop those by for the family. I went out there today and the house is a sad sight. My items were dropped off with family across the street. These folks are not picky and will be grateful for anything you can spare.
The larger sizes are more difficult to find; hopefully someone can say where such items may be purchased if none are available second hand.

#4.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 06/10/10 at 08:38 AM

I will bring them on Monday, Trisha. Glad to help. (My husband will never miss them, lol)

#4.2 Gwendolyn on 06/10/10 at 11:57 AM

Hello Shelia!I think the shirts will fit because those brands do run a littl big. Thank you so much. I am a family member.

Thank God everyone got out safely. Thank you Fire Chief Henderson for all you do with so little to work with.

IN GOD WE TRUST

#5.1 PCFF on 06/09/10 at 07:25 PM

Why don’t you change your name to butt kisser?
Henderson didn't put the fire out we did. Not thanks to us ff's you arrogant a$$. We know who the patriot homeowner is and we know that your boy Henderson has you hen pecked. Just remember that we were here long before Henderson and will be here after he is gone.

#5.1.1 Pike Patriot Homeowner on 06/10/10 at 05:20 AM

Tell me that to my site!

IN GOD WE TRUST

I guess the pollcater’s have invaded the PJR and want to insert their beliefs here too. There is a time and place for everything and yours patriot homeowner is on the other site. At lease Mr. Geiger will allow everyone to post their opinions (with-in legal limits) without the threat of deletion if the conversation takes an interesting turn. If I wanted to become a narrow minded individual and follow the lead of a very select few I would spend more time on that other site. I do want to be well rounded and have the ability to interpret others opinions and views and that only comes with “Freedom of the Press”.
There are countless citizens in Pike that feel they need to know the truth about any subject that becomes news worthy and most of the time that comes with some negativity. If we just followed the select few points of view we all would be in the dark, as they are.

Great post.
The Pike Patriot Homeowner is grasping for everyone to trust him and his site. He has lost all clout even with the planning board. He simply needs a phone to talk with his 4 posters.

He is;
Evil, wicked, mean and nasty
Don't step on the grass Sam.

#5.1.1.1.1.1 remember now on 06/11/10 at 08:29 AM

The intelligence of the BOC removed the smartest lady in Pike County and replaced her with a total jerk. JC and Ron Snowden have no business on any board in government. Watch them at meetings, they scratch their butts, smell their finger then pick their nose. Now that is class.

#5.1.1.2 anonymous on 06/10/10 at 02:36 PM

You are a mean man. You claim our master and continue your dirty deeds towards the folks of Pike county who disagree with you. You are not a fair person. You need to ask to be forgiven. You need more than 4 friends and a mother.

#5.1.1.3 Qualifications for Patriot?? on 06/12/10 at 09:03 AM

Who made you a Patriot? What are your qualifications to be a ranked as a Patriot? As a Pike Patriot can you appoint apprentice Patriots? Your assistant pollcatess, have you blessed her with the title Pike Patriotess? Man you need a checkup from the neckup before the fireworks start.

#5.1.2 Gwendolyn on 06/10/10 at 12:12 PM

Our family would like to thank everyone involved in efforts to save our love ones home. Big Thanks to our FF! Thank eveyone that has being reaching out to help in one way or the other. Willis Family

#5.1.3 Court Reporter on 06/10/10 at 01:44 PM

Way to go PCFF, I like your style. If the site the PikePatriotHomeowner is referring to is the Pollcatter that's not a site. It's a biased, prejudiced link for two old fuddy duddies to get their tricks turned on with each other and think they know everything about any and all things because nobody else can post as a blogger without two fuddies identifying who the blogger is to anyone that tries to make comments. So thank God for Geiger he's got the only site that's informative and updated regularly and is open to all. By the way Callaway Gardens has a fun filled and educational weekend for the 4th of July and will even have fireworks on the day of the 4th with beach, concerts, circus etc. That's where my donation will be made for fireworks.

#5.2 OK I will on 06/10/10 at 01:38 PM

What are you going to do about it? Ban me? Delete me? Oh I know, you will get all five of your posters to beat me up and feed me to your Polecat.

#6 OK to burn now ? on 06/10/10 at 10:20 AM

Since code enforcement is no longer bugging us I was wondering if it is OK to burn yard limbs and grass?

#6.1 Anonymous on 06/10/10 at 11:54 AM

No, it is not okay to burn yard limbs and grass! It is not code enforcement or the fire department that is responsible for the burn ban. The burn ban is under Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division, Air Protection Branch http://www.gfc.state.ga.us/ForestFire/GeorgiaBurnBan.cfm

#6.1.1 NO more code enforcement ! on 06/10/10 at 01:24 PM

Yeah you are correct all you ---- government agencies. We don't want to mess up the air quality for Fulton, Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and Clayton County. My little grass fire down here in rural Georgia could hurt your car engines and jet turbines. DNR, EPD, APD and GFC kiss off and look for my smoke fume. Bite me!

#6.2 Anonymous on 06/10/10 at 12:30 PM

You can burn them if you are burning them in order to cook those hot dogs you have. Fires for cooking are exempt.

#7 Anonymous on 06/11/10 at 09:27 PM

Not big city. Stay in small town. Fire chief Danny Henderson said. Not same Clayton County Fire and Emergency Services, Fulton County Fire Department, and Atlanta Fire Department or Henry County Fire Department.

#8 District 2 voter on 06/12/10 at 11:27 AM

Pike Patriot Homeowner how can you possibly run your site and be Parrish Swifts campaign manager? You are a real multi-tasker.

VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN

#9 Hilltop Community on 06/12/10 at 12:08 PM

Remain alert. The county will have code enforcement until June 30th. The county will have Roosevelt Willie until December 31st. Then we will be free at last.

#10 dilly whopper on 06/12/10 at 12:36 PM

Boy thought pike co had grown people in it. Sounds like a bunch of children belly akin.Im going back to the big city!!!!!

#10.1 Anonymous on 06/12/10 at 08:44 PM

You can go back to the Big city "Lamar County or Spalding County". Stay in small Town "Pike County".

#11 Nate on 06/17/10 at 03:48 PM

It seems like even in a time of tragedy when people should be pulling together to help their neighbor some people have to play politics. In a small place like Pike, how can politics even mean that much? Most people are just trying to make a living, pay their bills and enjoy their lives. The people who want to control those people need to be shipped up to the big city where they'll see how dangerous politics can be to an economy (city of Atlanta anyone?).
