Writer's negativism totally excessive

Normally, I do not respond to a citizen's letter to newspapers or magazines. However, after reading the letters in your March 23 issue, I feel a response is required to the Ullmann nonsense letter.

She started out attacking the local leash law. Right away this tells me that this is a person who feels exempt from the law.

Then she uses the plethora of crimes, gangs and graffiti problems in the city as a means to exonerate herself from the leash law--I was right--a scofflaw.

It gets better when we hear about her "unofficial study," wherein she now shifts gears to go after the dog park. Her "study" of public records indicates multiple complaints about the dog park, and only one "grossly fabricated" --her words--complaint outside the park. Hmm--I wonder who this grossly fabricated complaint was made against.

Finally, we get the victim plea. Ullmann states that she and others are doing without because of the dog park.

I would love to listen to this person to hear her moan about living in Thousand Oaks--I'm sure she would need at least an hour.

Yes, my dog, Layla, and I go to the park several times each week, and we've been doing so for over two years.

Guess what? We have never witnessed a bad incident. Nice animals. Nice people.

No scofflaws. Frank Clark Thousand Oaks
