Beginnings

Thank you for taking time to read my blog.

I would like to start off this blog as I had originally intended--by posting the articles I had written while covering the Athens-Clarke County Police beat for my University of Georgia Newspaper Writing class in the Fall Semester of 2007. The articles will include the date of submission to my professor (information found in the articles will only be as current as this included date). The articles were NOT published at any time. Please note that the articles were submitted under my maiden name of Rene Lautenschlager. My name is now Rene Zapata.

After posting these articles, I will see where this blog takes me!
