The players are in town, camp starts this week, the players have found enough jobs. The quarterback has a job ... We just look forward to playing in the arena and having a good season.''

The New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam was constructed in 1937 under a statute authorizing the Army Corps of Engineers to construct, operate and maintain the dam in support of commercial navigation from Savannah to Augusta. This statutory authority was the legal basis for one of the many federally sponsored construction projects of that era designed to jump-start a moribund economy. Thomas J. Zwemer, Augusta

Expresses outrage over quiz show
I never thought I would ever write a letter to The Chronicle, but after what I saw March 7 on ABC's Who Wants to be a Millionaire? I can't help myself -- I am outraged. Eva-Maria Proudfit, Martinez

Slams governor's education bill
Last week a local commentator referred to Georgia House Bill 1187 as the education destruction bill. Unfortunately for Georgia's school children, he was correct. H.B. 1187 will indeed set Georgia's schools backward.Davida L. Johnson, Augusta

Mulls `Rants and Raves,' other topics
As much as I like the idea of the ``Rants and Raves,'' you folks have got to do something to improve it. I have been trying to read your online version because the topics are more forthright there than you will publish in the daily editions. However, one thing really irks me: It is poorly set up and difficult to follow any thread. Get your act together and straighten it up; take a look at any newsgroup program and get a clue. Alan Horner, Augusta

Punting for victory
Vision and leadership -- put the two together and you come up with last week's announcement that the Greater Augusta Sports Council will sponsor the Ray Guy Award, honoring the nation's best collegiate gridiron punter.

Denies `excuse' cause of funding delay
I want to correct an erroneous statement in your recent editorial, ``Harbin to the rescue,'' which dealt with a funding issue for the Columbia County schools. The issue arose when the Georgia Department of Education was informed on Dec. 16 of the error, due to new software, in student counts submitted by Columbia County for additional mid-year funding. Bill Gambill, Atlanta

Raps paper for grim reaper cartoon
I was totally appalled at the March 1 Rick McKee ``cartoon'' of the grim reaper holding the dead puppy. W. Garrison, Martinez

Seeks equal standards for firefighters
Did you know that Augusta has never had female firefighters? Did you know that there are six female firefighter trainees at this time? These trainees should be expected to take and pass the same tests that male trainees take, right? You'd think so, but it is not the case. It would be pretty scary should one of these trainees end up at a station in your neighborhood. Should the standards be lowered for the males? I certainly hope not. Someone needs to be able to put out the fire. Someone needs to be able to save a life. Terry Henley, North Augusta

Urges re-evaluation of dress code
It's that time of year again for Columbia County students to wear skirtsshorts and the schools are once again acting like policemen in deciding who should be sent home for being improperly clothed. Unfortunately, it's usually up to the teacher to decide if the shorts are too short, and some teachers think they are playing God in deciding. They choose to interrupt teaching and educating, as they see fit to embarrass each child. They also make us, as parents, feel that we are improperly dressing our child. Why not just call the Department of Family and Children Services on us? Lisa Suppa, Evans

Dems help NRA
While President Clinton has been blasting away at the National Rifle Association, top elected Democrats in Georgia backed the nation's premier Second Amendment defender during a crucial state Senate vote.

Says racism still exists in U.S.
The more I read your newspaper and listen to the news media, I know that racism still exists in this country. Laws are passed when crime affects a certain group of people. This is a double standard, two-faced nation. Edith Spann, Augusta

Cease fire
The latest duel between the Clinton-Gore administration and the National Rifle Association and its allies in the Congress is a modern-day version of a wild West shoot-out.

Defeat water panel
Somehow the notion has taken hold among some in our community that a newly-created Augusta Water Authority could do more than the City Commission is doing to clear up the city's seemingly never-ending water woes.

Timber...
When a public employee violates a city ordinance he ought to be held accountable, just as any private citizen would. So why is Richard Acree getting off without so much as a slap on the wrist?

Another new agency
Georgia House Speaker Tom Murphy is sponsoring a ``grow-the-government'' bill that our ``grow-the-government'' governor doesn't like.

Says education reform begins at home
Despite all the recent rhetoric about educational reform, I do not think we as a nation are serious about educational reform. Do we really value our children and their future? A recent feature story in the Feb. 27 Parade magazine proves we do not. Otherwise would Deion Sanders receive a salary of $11.5 million while a high school teacher has a salary of $33,000? Or should Steve Spurrier be receiving a salary of $193,315 instead of allocating some of that available money to teach football players like Peter Warrick and others to not make poor moral or ethical choices? Jill McCoy, Augusta

Opposes use of Messerly plant sludge
As a citizen of Jefferson County, I oppose the Georgia Environmental Protection Division's proposal to amend the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and allow sludge from Augusta's J. B. Messerly Water Pollution Control Plant to be applied on approximately 558 acres in Jefferson County. Larry M. Hodges, Louisville

The history of Augusta's skate park off Central Avenue is as shaky as a novice skater on his first board. Recently, the state Environmental Protection Division recommended closing the site and restricting access to the city's reservoir, where area residents often jog or walk their dogs.
