The council also followed the recommendation of the city Planning and Zoning Commission and approved the annexation and rezon ing of 10.45 acres at the intersection Lake Joy Road, Ga. 96 and Beulah Church Road. The three parcels adjacent to Savannah Estates, lots 5, 6 and 7 will be zoned C-l (neighborhood commercial).

The property was zoned R-AG HICKS From page 4A and that forcibly conceals half of their genetic heri tage. Some call themselves ‘lopsided’ or ‘half adopted.’ At least one uses the term ‘kinship slave.’” The report continues: “Adults who support the use of new technologies to bear children sometimes say that biology does not matter to children, that all children need is a loving family. Yet biology clearly matters to the adults who sometimes go to extreme lengths to create a child genetically related to at least one of them. In a striking contradiction, these same people will often insist that the child’s biological relationship to an absent donor father or mother should not really matter to the child.” A compassionate and just society should come to the aid of a fatherless or moth erless child, not intention ally create a fatherless or motherless child. But that is what is happening in these situations. In a vacuum, these new conception methods may Road to offer congratula tions for the “outstanding service” that Pet Plantation has been providing for true animal lovers for the past three and a half years.

The city will also pay $78,200 to connect sewer lines in the area of Russell Parkway, Carl Vinson Parkway and Houston Lake Road. Flint Energies will do much of the work, as it will connect its property - including its store and the new customer ser vice facility being built - at the intersection. The shop ping center and gas station north of Russell Parkway will also be connected to the sewer line. The council also approved a natural gas contract between the city and Robins Air Force Base from December through March. City Comptroller Bill Harte explained it what has been seem OK to some. After all, the desire to be a parent is an innate and deep desire - not only for the natural, instinctual longing to procre ate, but also to see ourselves reflected in a child. But that longing does not justify a “by any means necessary” solution to meet it. Some might suggest that this whole discussion would seem to cast a negative light on the whole issue of adop tion. But adoption is a differ ent idea. It is taking and caring for a child that has already entered the world, and attempting to mitigate circumstances that could otherwise prove harmful; it is not bringing a child into this world to fulfill our per sonal agendas. We all say that children are resilient, but we cannot assume our decisions will not adversely affect them. We don’t need to cater to our kids every desire; but we should consider their needs beyond the sphere of what we want. Next week I will continue this discussion with a deeper look at the attack on the mother-father parenthood model. your pet with the respect that you would give any beloved family member in a warm, comforting atmo sphere.” The organization also offers an alternative to leav ing your pet alone with in home pet sitting, giving your animal great care in its own familiar environment. done in the past.
