Never, never on a Sunday? Tell me
why
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
Not long ago, it was illegal in
many parts of Georgia to open a store or restaurant
on Sunday.
Raid compounds Elian heartbreak
By AMY RILEY
One Citizen's Perspective
To the shock and dismay of
millions of Americans, the federal government, under
direct order from Attorney General Janet Reno in the
Justice Department, has loosed its considerable might
via heavily armed storm troopers on peaceful
civilians, who by all apparent accounts were unarmed
and on private property.
Spamming the globe: Top 5 lists
BILLY MURPHY
Laugh Lines
Here are the news items you care
about, and my corresponding mini “Top Ten
Lists” (Uh, that would be five, Billy).
Letters to
the Editor
Mayor invites public to PTC open
house Sat.
During the week of April 23 -
29, 2000, cities throughout Georgia will recognize
City Government Week.
Elain raid gives new meaning to 2nd
Amendment rights
One had only
to watch Saturday's actions of our federal government
in the Elian Gonzalez case to understand what the
framers of our constitution had in mind when they
wrote the Second Amendment.
Mayor's annexation dream is a
nightmare for the rest of PTC
An open letter to Peachtree City
Mayor Robert Lenox:
Commissioners should be voted out in
clean sweep
Re: the article “Bost will
qualify, but may not run,” in the April 19
edition. I find it almost unbelievable the amount of
unmitigated gall expressed by Commissioner Harold
Bost. I question who appointed Bost the all-knowing
guru of commission candidates.
Tangled Webb: A suggestion
Since there appear to be
multiple people named James Webb [appearing in]
letters to your newspaper, perhaps you could help
your readers tell the difference between the various
James Webbs by referring to the city attorney who had
the ethics complaint dismissed on a technicality as
James “Technically Not Unethical” Webb.
Tyrone made mistake in turning down
Publix shopping center
Those who thought the old days
of inept representation were a thing of the past here
in Tyrone must have been terribly disappointed at the
Tyrone Town Council meeting last Thursday.
Something special is happening at
Fayette Middle School
I walked into Fayette Middle
School last Tuesday, April 18, to view the art show
that the school was hosting. There were so many works
of art on display, something special from each class,
even a room full of paintings and artworks from the
faculty. I thought there was a stereo playing
classical music, when to my delight, I realized there
were three young ladies playing flutes.
We need the life of Jesus in us
Most of us need to wear hats
that have, “This space for rent” or
“Too far gone,” stenciled on them. And then
there is the infamous paraphrased saying: “They
still have me to kick around!”
Emissions testing nearly worthless
Vehicle emissions tests are a
waste of time and money for most motorists. They do
little or nothing to help clean the air or reduce
smog. A recent Colorado state audit showed that
carbon monoxide reduction was about 8 percent. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) swears it is at
least 30 percent. (This is the same EPA found to be
unable to justify its clean air standards by a
three-judge appeals court last year.)
When will overdevelopment stop?
I laud the number of letters in
this newspaper I have seen over the past few months
concerned about excessive development in this county.
Fayette Follies was a great show
The annual Fayetteville Follies,
performed by the staff and students of Fayetteville
Intermediate School on Saturday, April 15, was a
great event once again!
Things Confederate still bring
letters to editor..
This week, thousands of
Georgians, and other Southerners will observe
Confederate Memorial Day. April 26 has been
designated as such by the Georgia General Assembly
since 1874, and for many years it was, at least in
the South, the biggest day of the year, Christmas
excluded.
Obstruction and other $3 words
I see Timothy Parker finally
came out of the closet! The hate of the South that
spewed venomous words in his letters to the editor
came from a Yankee with a cause, obfuscation!
Why didn't Congress abolish slavery
I have often asked if the
[Civil] War was about slavery, then why didn't the
U.S. Congress simply outlaw it in 1861 when all of
the Southern legislators left for their home states?
Why didn't they outlaw it in 1862? 1863? 1864? 1865?
