Thanks, motorheads, for disturbed the peace at Strouds Run
To the Editor:
To the two intelligent men driving their over-sized pickups near Strouds Run State Park on Wednesday evening, congratulations! You've succeeded in showing off how "tough" and "brave" you are by drag-racing each other on Strouds Run Road on the way out of the park!

Being able to sleep a higher priority than letting your dogs bark
To the Editor:
This letter is in response to a submission phoned in to the "Athens Voice" (May 13 edition) in The Athens NEWS. The submission, obviously phoned in by a nauseating dog worshipper, suggested to a group of folks who are sick of losing sleep or finding it difficult to get to sleep because of dogs barking in their area, to "buy some over-the-counter sleep aids" to help them go to sleep.

Village may finally become accountable for its actions
To the Editor:
The article appearing in The Athens NEWS Monday, May 13, concerning Chauncey's partial win in the public records lawsuit may turn out to be but a shallow victory unless the Wise Old Owl can prove to the court that the village did lawfully dispose of those public records legally, something he could not do in the Baggs public records lawsuit.

Shelter Friends could use help
To the Editor:
Last year 1,231 dogs came into the Athens County Dog Shelter. Did you know that also last year the Athens County Dog Shelter had one of the lowest incidences of parvo ever? This is due largely to the success of the Shelter Shot Program that was started a year ago.
