Too Much Candy? Donate Some to the Troops!

Several area dentists are collecting candy to send to US military personnel. Here's how you can donate.

 

Did your kids come home with too much candy? Did you end up buying more than you needed for the trick or treaters on your street?

You can donate your surplus at several local dental offices which will arrange for the goodies to be sent to US service members. Many will offer kids a little cash, dental hygiene 'goody bags,' coupons or other items as part of the Halloween Candy Buyback.

Here's a list of participating dentists nearby. Call before you go to make sure they're still able to accept donations:

There is a much closer place to get rid of your left-over Halloween candy. Worthmore Jewelers at Amsterdam Walk has a program to collect candy and send it on to overseas troops. www.worthmorejewelers.com for store hours. I was there Sunday afternoon and they have a big pile of candy collected already.

Ms. Sears, Clearly, you don't want to engage in a reasoned debate on this issue. When you wroteRead More "let's work together" you forgot to add "so long as we do it my way." If your real concern was removing invasive non-native plants, would you be spending all this time and effort raising money to build expensive bridges and a 31 mile trail?

Since our announcement unveiling the PMG web site, I have been waiting to see if anyone from SFCRead More would substantively address the thoroughly reasoned positions and impressive factual sources you will find if you visit the PMG web site. But no, and at first you might think that it’s the few pro-SFC commenters who are the small, but loud minority. However, SFC all along has chosen to work behind the scenes, as though they were trained in Washington politics. They don’t want to face up to neighbor concerns, or new academic research on trails, or even have to provide half-detailed specifications to justify the cost and impact of their grandiose scheme. Could it be they know how to obtain funding and approvals the political way, without the bothersome public? Could it be they know what is good for the rest of us and just need us to shut up? What country is this? Here is an example. SFC managed to get DeKalb County to file a grant application with the State without any public hearing, telling the County Commission that the community supports the SFC connected trail plan, and seeking funds for connecting Zonolite park to their other proposed trails. This contradicted what SFC told MLPA, that connecting trails were not part of the Zonolite work. And, SFC did not tell the Commission or the State about the negative feedback acknowledged in the Park Pride Report. (continued)

At that MLPA meeting, PMG’s position was that we would not oppose work confined to ZonoliteRead More that was not for connecting to the larger SFC trail plan, if that was the result of an open process involving the impacted neighbors and businesses. Did we feel snookered by the DeKalb grant application? You bet. So what I say to SFC is: let’s debate this out in the open and have the same sort of dialog we all now expect when the use of property is taken up a notch, whether it’s a for condo, or a road widening, or a re-zoning, or a trail. PMG will keep on sharing facts with decision makers and impacted neighbors until that happens.
