Writer says take control of kids
A concerned citizen recently filed a blog response about parents’ responsibility for their children. Here’s what the writer had to say: “Parents, you made the kids, now they are out of control. It is you, … your lack of action and not having or taking the time, with your kids … Deal with it, or it will deal with you. The time to control youth is when they are still young, not when they become teenagers and are standing looking in your face. No one gives you control. You have to take control. That’s the way it is and always will be. So how long have you been waiting, for someone to give you control? You control your kids, or they control you. You may not know this, but your kids, and everyone around knows, who is in control.”
Agree or disagree?

SPCA focusing on feral cat problem
The SPCA of Elizabeth City wants to cut the holding time at the shelter for feral cats (those are the wild ones that have never been domesticated) from five to three days. At the end of that period, the cats would be put to sleep. The problem is that the feral cat population is exploding. Also, these cats, which typically don’t get vaccinations for rabies, can become a health problem. Cutting the holding time looks like it may be the right step, although many cat-lovers may feel differently. Tell us what you think.
