With the proposed alarm ordinance: If a parent does not pay an alarm fine and a rapist breaks in to attack a girl at her home, the police will NOT respond. I wonder if the mayor and council would still feel good about this idea afterwards. Mayor Davis says he thinks the concept is great.

I really don't understand why so many supposedly experienced dog owners would take their dogs, especially puppies, to a dog park.

In my experience with owning generations of Brittanies, Poodles, and mutts, running free in a highly utilized dog park is probably the unhealthiest activity you can allow your dog to participate in. These dog-owners are just asking for a spread of canine disease, some of which could be fatal to their pets.

My advice is to get out and walk your dog in the neighborhood. This way you'll get exercise as well.

Get rid of the Brook Run Dog Park, you will be doing your pets a great favor. Trust me, check with your veterinarian, dog parks are NOT healthy for your dog at all!

Outscape

There's no way to describe how the light splays
after the storm, under the clouds
Still piled like Armageddon
Back to the west, the northwest,
intent on incursion.

There's no way to picture it,
though others have often tried to.
Here in the mountains it's like a ricochet from a sea surge,
Meadow grass moving like sea stalks
in the depths of its brilliance.

If you had an issue with your iPad viewing the city council video stream utilize the HTML5 conversion app to to view it next time.

And for those without technical savvy, I guess you'll just have to wait until they have a plug and play to support you just like they did with blogs. Now everyone is a blogger!

after spending nearly $1 million on IT and web development I expect an easier way to view meetings online

I'm not observing an issue with the city's web infrastructure, and the video streaming is especially a delight!

I'm able to view council meetings via DSL, cable modem, wireless router, wireless card, and on a desktop, laptop, iPad, iPhone, and if so inclined - with my big butt in a seat in council chambers.

Very pleased, yes very pleased. Kudos to the city's IT department!

Chief Billy Grogan
Dunwoody Police Department,

I just wanted to advise you that Dunwoody Police Officer Joseph Tomalka, who responded to my youngest daughter's first automobile accident (and hopefully her last) today, was very professional and efficient in the handling of all the law enforcement administrative matters, but mostly was very kindly and empathetic in consideration of my daughter's distressed state.

Please thank Officer Joseph Tomalka on behalf of my family for the compassion and professionalism he showed to my daughter during this anxious and frightening time for her.

Sincerely,

Gary Ray Betz
