Editorial: Law required for the few
It's a shame that the proverbial bad apple has spoiled the bunch.

Letter: Congratulations gonzo reporter
I have wanted to express my congratulations to Peter Guinta for being dubbed with the Honorific ''Gonzo Reporter'' by one of your readers in a recent letter to the editor. I, although, assume I do not offer the title in the same spirit as the writer of the letter.

Letter: Coastal land is precious and finite
The beautiful coastal land of our small community is extremely precious and with the population growing at an ever quickening pace, we seem to neglect the fact that it is a finite. During this transition from a sleepy rustic beach town to a bustling developer's paradise, environmental awareness is essential. The citizens of our community should be made aware of how irreplaceable and important the preservation of our environment is. If we do not raise environmental awareness and confront this issue soon, the wildlife-filled marshes and wetlands that are so dear to our community may cease to exist.

Editorial: HabiSaint needs volunteers
This Saturday the third and fourth houses to be built in Hadley Habitat Village, along with the Frank Jansson Memorial Garden, will be dedicated at a service at 10:30 a.m. The village can be reached by going south off King Street on St. Johns or Duval streets to 15th Street.

Letter: St. Augustine filled with delight
We had a terrific time enjoying the weather and seeing the sights -- Alligator Farm, Marineland (fantastic touch and feed program), and the carousel in the park were all big hits with my 3 1/2-year-old daughter, and with my wife and me as well!

Opinion: Emmett Fritz would be appalled by artist ban
After reading the page one story about Emmett Fritz in The Record Feb. 25, I was swept back by nostalgia to the 1950s when I was a high school kid who used to spend my lunch hours, during the summer, watching Emmett paint on St. George Street while talking to him about my dream of becoming a painter.

Letter: Moving parade route stinks
The decision by the powers that be to do away with the parade routes down St. George Street, is, in my humble opinion, a crock, a sham, and the biggest piece of B.S. perpetrated on the citizens and business owners downtown since I've lived here (over 17 years). Both citizens and guests are used to the celebrations and parades using our most ancient and venarated street (St. George) as our main venue for presenting our ourselves to the visiting public during every event that the city promotes.

Opinion: Pres. Bush's address wins smokescreen trifecta
Let's give credit where credit is due: President Bush said a few things in his address to Congress Tuesday night that were not entirely misleading. But since the overall sales pitch for his plan remains deeply disingenuous, you need a crib sheet to assess where reality lies. As a public service, therefore, here are the indispensable facts citizens need to decode the Bush smoke screen. Let the tax wars begin!

Letter: Writer would give garden as gift
Civilization has survived Hadein's Wall, The Berlin Wall and others. Therefore I am certain that we will survive Proctor's Wall. We'd even survive a three-story building.

Letter: Betty Griffin House director inspires all
When no one else believed in us, Beth Hughes did. As director of the Betty Griffin House she surely inspires others to keep going besides us.

Letter: Lawmakers more concerned about business
People concerned about the proposed Nocatee ''new town'' and the harassment of St. George Street artists have had our eyes opened.

Do President Bush's numbers add up?
The following editorial appeared in the San Jose Mercury News on Wednesday:

Squeezing our money out of politicians
If President Bush wants an idea of what he's up against as he seeks to refund some of the overpayments taxpayers have been making to government, he should look across the Potomac at the dilemma now facing Virginia Republican Governor Jim Gilmore.

Letter: Teen drug use is a real danger today
I was shocked and outraged upon reading Steve Crowell's letter to the editor on Feb. 24. His insensitivity to the parents whose young son died from taking GHB, an increasingly popular drug among teen-agers, is appalling.

Amen and Amen
If you want to help the less fortunate, you have to first show them you care.

Take Note
The Rosalie James Circle of the Kings Daughters and Sons will host a gospel sing Saturday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the First United Methodist church, corner of King and Riberia streets. A free will collection will be taken for HabiSaint at the event.

The joy of ministry
In 1924 at the Paris Olympic Games, Eric Liddell stirred his generation with his refusal to race on Sunday -- so that he could attend church -- and his ultimate victory in the 400-meter dash. The entire story was depicted in the Academy Award-winning film ''Chariots of Fire.'' If you saw that film, you like me, might have been shocked to read the final statement that appeared on the screen regarding Liddell:
