and City Administrator George Kolb, Hankerson said he couldn’t believe that the city’s business was being postponed so people could go golfing. At least someone has his priorities in line.
Thumbs Down America’s drug war reached the pinnacle of its absurdity Nov. 7 when police, some with guns drawn, raided a Goose Creek, S.C., high school after they were tipped off that drugs were being sold at the school. “They just came up and got my friend, not even saying anything or what was going to happen,” one 14-yearold student told CNN. “I was scared.”
continued from page 6 at will. If this is the best Ms. Ott can do, she needs to get back behind the anchor desk quick. Barry Paschal told it like it was regarding Channel 12’s attack piece on Linda Schrenko. It was as bad as the cancelled attack on the Reagans. Way to go, WRDW and Laurie Ott: You set a new low for journalistic standards in Augusta, and that is saying something.

Winter will come, you will feel the cold again and you will have to depend on your furnace for your comfort. On the first cold morning, our dispatchers at Advanced Air Technology usually schedule three weeks worth of service calls in 4 hours. Please call us for your fall furnace service early this year and avoid the panic of the first cold morning. We promise we’ll both be happier.
To Augusta Commissioner Bobby Hankerson for complaining that the Nov. 13 budget meeting was being canceled because of a county employee golf tournament. Before fellow commissioners
If you don’t have two kids, please do not take the double buggies at the grocery stores. Too often inconsiderate parents walk by me with either one kid in the double buggy or one kid walking beside that buggy, leaving me with my twins trying to buy groceries and keep an eye on the one in the inside of the cart. People — actually think about what you are doing to other people when you do things like this. Someone should paint WRDW yellow because they practice yellow journalism. Their attack piece for sweeps week condemned Linda Schrenko for keeping money away from Roy Barnes’ cronies. His board chair voided some contracts and then criticized Schrenko when no services were delivered. Laurie Ott was just mean and petty. Don’t think just because you’re pregnant, or chose to tote your toddlers to the store, that you should have an exclusive parking place. There’s no law that allows “new or expectant moms” to have any privilege to park close to the entrance of any store that I know of. That privilege is allowed to veterans who no longer have the use of their legs, or other unfortunate people living the rest of their lives dealing with a serious physical handicap. Those cute little “pregnant parking only” signs are just a marketing ploy by the store to make moms think this is an OK place to spend their dollars. Ah, ‘tis the season the American holiday consumer is soon unleashed again. Some greedy
Here’s a tip for police: Some students are dealing drugs at nearly every high school in this country. But many students are not. Waving guns around is no way to separate the wheat from the chaff. Honesty in drug education works a whole lot better. Save the guns for the bad guys and “Just Say No,” as a command for your K-9s.
retailers have all the Christmas decorations reinstalled before Halloween these days. OK, I guess the burden of updating those S.C. driver’s manuals falls on my shoulders. Listen up, you Carolina swamprats, the left-hand lane is for passing only, not pulling up beside someone who is doing the speed limit, or less, cruise along with them. Either pass or get behind them. Linda Schrenko raised reading scores and SAT scores, and cut state bureaucracy, and the reward her hometown station gives her is a stab in the back with a sleazy piece of unsubstantiated trash for three nights. If I watch local news, it won’t be Laurie Ott. About Al Gore’s “Big Brother” comments: OK Al! How do you fight an enemy that you cannot see? Yes! We have lost many of our cherished freedoms. Is that President Bush’s fault? No! That’s the terrorists’ fault. We can’t find either Bin Laden or Hussein. They’re cowards and murderers just like Hitler was. They’re hiding too. Maybe they followed “their hero’s path,” committing suicide in some isolated underground bunker. I enjoyed reading Brian Neill’s article, “Last Chance Schools.” Mr. Frazier at Bungalow Road Alternative School has my respect and admiration for the job he is doing there. The article states that some of the kids there were simply “in the wrong place at the wrong time.” That may be true, but life is all about choices that we make and the consequences we must face when we make bad ones. The boy that went for a ride in his homeboy’s “borrowed” car is paying the price of his own poor choice in homeboys. — Call our Whine Line at 510-2051 and leave your comments. We won’t use your name.
