Vote

CITIZEN
EDITORIAL
Many decisions face
you next Tuesday in the ballot booth, but few are more important for
the children of this county than the decision you make on paying for
badly needed new schools.
So
much election furor: Where's the fire?
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
This is the first
time in my life that I can remember going into a presidential election
with little idea as to who is most likely to win.
Good
reasons to vote 'Yes' for bonds
By AMY RILEY
One
Citizen's Perspective
By this time next
week, we'll have the answers to a whole bunch of important questions.
We'll know who will lead this country for the next four years, we'll
know which political party powerhouse will hold the coveted majority
of seats in the House and Senate, and folks in this little corner
of the world will know whether or not our school system has earned
your support on a school bond for new schools construction.
All
I need to know I learned at the movies
By BILLY MURPHY
Laugh
Lines
I used to rate the
movie theaters locally, but it has become fruitless. The movie closed
here in Peachtree City. The once simple-to-get-to Newnan has become
the poster child for sprawl, congestion and traffic. Thus, I am left
with Tinseltown 17 and Cinemark 10 as the place to see my films.
Letters to
the Editor
Keep
liquor out of F'ville and drunks off our county's roads
I just found out
this week that there is a referendum for "liquor by the drink"
on the ballot for Nov. 7. I am very appalled: (1) that it is not a county-wide
vote and (2) that the citizens of Fayetteville would consider such a
thing for such an upstanding community.
Some
suggestions about voting on constitutional amendments next Tues
Do you know what
you'll face when you enter the voting booth on Nov. 7? When you run
into the 11 Yes/No choices for state constitutional amendments and statewide
referendum questions, will you be prepared? The purpose of this note
is to prepare you and help you out.
Help
needed on PTC big box ordinance problems
To all my friends
in Fayette County, our time has arrived. We are approaching a moment
of truth.
Ode
to Peachtree City
After having just
read the latest installment of Peachtree City's own version of "As
Our World Turns," and the allegations against Dan Tennant, it got
me thinking.
We
don't need more drunk drivers
Liquor by the drink
is going to be voted in on Nov. 7 unless the people of Fayetteville
are more aptly notified and those who are in opposition to it have the
full facts. I personally have been watching this issue for several years
trying to keep up with the possibility of it appearing on the ballot.
Boy! Was I taken by surprise when I read just this past few weeks that
the petition had been approved and it in fact would be on the ballot.
Veterans

Remember
Buddy Poppy Day
On Saturday Nov.
11 all citizens will be implored by the various media outlets to remember
the men and women who have served in the armed forces of our nation
throughout its history. We will be asked to especially remember and
honor those veterans who made the supreme sacrifice of their lives.
Power
has shifted to Supreme Court
According to Al
Gore and Tim Parker, the Supreme Court should have the authority to
interpret the Constitution any way they see fit.
Suicide
survivors need help, support in learning to forgive themselves
Fayette County has
lost yet another precious life to suicide. The family and friends of
another young teen are asking all the unanswerable questions. The most
frequent: "What could we have done to stop this?"
Recreation
fields are not proper place for dogs' potties
Today, I was appalled
by the lack of concern some people have for the health of our children.
