Pulse of the Community
 
Question of the Week: "What can we do to reduce the amount of illegal guns in our community?"
Photos and question by Harry Kemp
Janie Hatton: "Jobs, education, peace. The importance of having ‘home inspections’ by the adult leader of the family cannot be overrated. Parents must conduct ‘intrusive’ searches in and around the home. Talk with children and their friends about peaceable solutions."
|
Percy Eddie: "Buy into Alderman (Michael) McGee’s gun buy back program. Support it. Be a part of it. Parents, check your children. Their rooms, their friends and know where you kids are."
|
Tammy Stowers: "I think we need a more extensive screening process and definitely more political input."
|
Johnny Euell: "I think more police presence in crime-ridden neighborhoods. Stiffer penalties, more neighborhood involvement." |

Senior Values
by Lynn Stewart
What has happened to our values, our regard for people? Whatever happened to respect, particularly for elders? Have we lost these fundamental values? This week, I feel compelled to address how the misplaced and or dysfunctional code of ethics in the community about "snitching" is causing harm to our elderly population, our children and the rest of the community, as well.
