I am a sixth grader and I am concerned about the dredging of lake Peachtree.

They should dredge the lake without draining it. They should not drain it because it is a beautiful lake. I enjoy going fishing on it with my dad. If it gets drained, it will greatly affect the fish and wildlife there. It will cost more to dredge the lake without draining it, but they should think of what would be best for all and not be concerned about the money. The money they spend extra for the lake would be well spent.

[Editor's note: The Fayette County Commission voted last week to dredge the lake with a barge, thereby avoiding having to drain it. See story in this issue.]
