Do we have that much to worry about when it comes to being that close to a school? I don't know any hardcore criminals in Dade County or heard of any, anyways.. Heck. The one jail is right next to the Elementary school. Doors in the schools are sopposse to be locked also..

Billy you are acting on the theory of "IF" and we are acting on the theory of "When". I will ask to to remember just months ago a trustee who was left in a room to escape through a vent and made it to the transfer station and stole a truck. Now he had not given anyone anything to worry about till "WHEN"! Now they spent alot of money to make sure that never happens again. I could give you more examples of what has happened but it's no use because what is done will be done. Also not a door at the School was locked back in my day and it was right when the new jail was being built. Now do you feel safer knowing your kids could go to school and a prisoner just from the roof of the jail and land on School Property and the first thing he sees is your kids heading into the classroom?

Well you know in Mayberry, there aren't REALLY any criminals anyway.....
TRENTON, Ga. -- A "kids camp" was Dade County Middle School teacher Matt Jelley's vision of the future until the need for gainful employment made him look to a career in education.
"I thought I wanted to do inner-city schools," said Mr. Jelley, Dade's Teacher of the Year.
"In fact, I was pretty set on that coming out of college. I did an interim period at Calvin Donaldson (in Chattanooga) and loved it, and really thought that was where I was going to be," he said.
"I've thoroughly fallen in love with teaching, and it is definitely where the Lord's called me. I wake up every morning and I can't wait to go into work," he said.
In a visit to Dade County, he found a home for his religious and educational goals, he said.
PERSONAL GLANCE
* Name: Matt Jelley
* Age: 29
* Personal: Wife, Kristen; daughter, Blythe Catharine, 4; daughter, Madeline, 2; and one on the way.
* Something people don't know about me: "I'm a huge Clint Eastwood fan. I love to slip in an Eastwood line every time I get the chance." He said he "was really taken with the 'Mayberry-ness' of the community." _ "I felt I was called to ministry here in Dade County more than anywhere else, and I had an opportunity to reach out to some kids who have some really difficult home lives."

We really don't mind he ain't from around here because he was really taken by the "Mayberry-ness" of the community. Now while I am one of the Biggest fans of this show, I really wonder if people who want to brag about being "Mayberry-ness" knows it was written as a comedy. That is what I find funny about wanting to be part of the "Mayberry-ness" of Dade County. Cause this show was written over 30 years ago as a comedy and we still want to live that way... But ask yourself this.. How many people actually lived in Mayberry that you know of... Why not take pride in calling ourselves "Hazzard-ness"? We could always take the song from Dukes of Hazzard and combine it with the show of Mayberry and maybe we would get County of the Year!

Yeah, I like Chuck Norris a bit more.... The Old Man is great but most of those great 'lines' should be attributed to the script writer not Clint himself.
Oh, did he choose the 'right' church too, when he moved to town? That never hurts when you're not from around here.
