Who to vote
for next Tuesday? Here's one guy's take on election
By CAL BEVERLY
Publisher
It's that time again — the
time when a few mark their ballots to elect
officeholders to represent a large crowd of folks who
are just too busy to drop by the precinct to vote,
but many of whom spend the next two or four years
complaining about what's happening with government
and how it's out of touch with everyday people.
Don't expect fireworks in
presidential race

It's way too early to be making
any predictions in this year's presidential election,
but hey, fools rush in...
Do your hard-won duty July 18: Vote
By AMY

One Citizen's Perspective
July 18 is an election day. It
is the beginning of an election season that will
culminate in November with the election of our next
president. Countless generations have looked upon the
election process with varying degrees of reverence
and import.
We've come a long way baby

Laugh Lines
When I was just a kid —
before Ginger from “Gilligan's Island” sent
me headlong into puberty — my older brother got
into serious trouble with my parents for buying a
“Jethro Tull” album. Now recently, and
quite a few years later, my good friend Jamie and his
wife Misty went to Chastain Park to see Jethro Tull.
This is not odd for our generation to revisit such
nostalgia, but Jamie and Misty took their 2-year-old
triplet girls.
Letters to

Huddleston response was
misunderstanding
Recently, The Citizen published
a profile of the candidates seeking the office of
judge of Fayette County Magistrate Court. There was a
misunderstanding as to the format requested for the
information. My response to the questionnaire was not
printed because it did not follow the format. I have
no quarrel with The Citizen. I, in fact, take full
responsibility for the misunderstanding.
Meanwhile, judge's opponent also had
profile problems....
While I am grateful that The
Citizen attempted to provide information to voters in
advance of the July 18 election, I am distressed by
what appears to be an attempt to undermine the
efforts of Robert (Bob) Ruppenthal, a candidate for
judge of Magistrate's Court.
Things may have improved, but blacks
still haven't achieved true equality
I have only been reading The
Citizen for a short time, but upon reading it I came
across an article that was of great interest to me,
“Is there a double standard favoring blacks in
racial issues?” First, I can't believe someone
would be so bold as to let that statement come out of
their mouth, let alone put it in print and sign their
name to it.
Board right to put kids in
Alternative School
It seems that Danielle Mathis,
in her letter to the editor of July 5, would condemn
all students who make a mistake, and the Alternative
School along with them, for offering students a
second chance. I, for one, find that appalling.
