This Week In the News

Here are some articles that can be discussed. Talk about others if you like.

Subdivision Ordinance:

Quote from the paper; “The manner in which agricultural and forest land is being consumed by residential growth hurts the integrity of planned growth”. Did I miss something? So is OK to buy up farmland for county business just to sit there not being used?

Letter to the Editor: Morgan Phenix

I never been to Dr. Horng for anything. It is sad to lose a doctor. From what I understand, he is “old school” like Dr. Holsinger was. I do not believe that the decision by the State Board of Medicine was hinged soley on Dr. Dale’s testimony. If a board had decided the Dr. Horng is not vital to this community, then are they breaking their own code of ethics or of some sorts? Can anyone remember that we almost lost a hospital a while ago because the hospital was described by some as a “roach motel” (you can check in, but you wouldn’t check out)?

Fire Siren:

Those that live near it claim it is a pain. For some, it is a life saver.
