I
concede: it's not about the money
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
Not surprisingly,
I had a chance to chat with a few Delta pilots following last week's
column.
School
shootings:
By AMY RILEY
One
Citizen's Perspective
It's been less than
two years since the Columbine High School tragedy rocked our collective
conscience. There were several high profile school shootings before
Columbine, but Columbine seemed to solidify the behavior as a cultural
malaise which affects us all.
Never
just a dog, Guthrie was our buddy before a bullet stopped his love
By MARY
JANE HOLT
Contributing Writer
It was Sunday afternoon.
We left him tied to his leash and went to Lowe's in Fayetteville to
buy materials for a dog run. We suspected that some female was in heat
on the road behind our property because Guthrie was exhibiting behavior
that can only mean one thing.
Ain't
it grand for raising kids
By BILLY
MURPHY
Laugh Lines
All of us have lived
the horror. Whether passing the offending forebear in the halls at work,
the grocery store, or at church, we are stopped and held ransom while
some grandparent shows us pictures of their grandkids.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Don't
build TDK Blvd. and ruin rural Coweta
It is rare that
I write my concerns to the newspaper, as I usually present them in person
at the Peachtree City Council meetings. However, since I will not be
able to attend the meeting March 15 at 5:30 p.m., and since I feel that
it is important for the citizens of Peachtree City to understand what
is being proposed, I hope that you receive this in time to print it
before that meeting.
The
Delta pilots' strike: View from other side of cockpit
In response to the
airline pilot's article in the (AJC, March 3), I have several comments
to make.
Does
animal shelter, 'Kill first, ask questions later'?
I was appalled when
I read the letter to The Citizen from Denise Barnett regarding the destruction
of her family cat by Fayette County Animal Control, after he was caught
in a trap and taken to the shelter.
Not
neighbors' role to notify irresponsible pet owner
First, let me extent
my deepest sympathies to Denise Barnett, who lost her pet in a web of
miscommunication resulting in the pet's being put to sleep.
Put
leash on all dogs on PTC cart paths
The leash law in
Peachtree City is ineffective because that part of the leash law that
allows animals to be under voice control is ineffective.
Gunfire
from 4-H practice range disturbs southside
Saturday morning
at 9 I was awakened by the sound of a horse kicking his stall. When
I got up to investigate, I realized that the 4-H Skeet Club had begun
its shooting schedule for their season.
Injured
kids from Columbia, Somalia getting help in Fayette, need more
In an effort to
raise public awareness regarding the incredible humanitarian efforts
occurring in our county, I would like to briefly outline the situation
of Maike Vega.
Think
our kids aren't watching us? Look at this . . .
For those who think
that their actions and words go unheeded by the youngsters around them,
I have news.
Separating
those who pray from those who prey
President Bush's
initiative to provide federal funding to faith-based organizations,
enabling them to better provide social services to the needy in this
country, is worthwhile and deserves our full support. Why?
Doped
up and doped out at school
Rayism The intelligence
of so few leads to the stupidity of so many.
Still
more about riding the bus to Starr's Mill
Adult
takes up for Kerry
I am an adult and
I am writing to defend the seniors' right to drive to school. I have
been following this controversy since Kerry FitzPatrick's original letter.
The letters written in last week's paper by Bill Webster and R.D. Welch
were unbelievable.
Bus
rider agrees with Kerry
After reading the
many responses bashing Kerry FitzPatrick's article, I'd have to say
I am disgusted. Honestly, I have to say the adults who reacted by sending
in all these mean letters, are acting like 4-year-olds. I for one believe
that people have a right to their opinion.
Adults
need lessons in civility
I just read the
letters in response to one of my classmates, Kerry FitzPatrick's letters.
Although I see both sides of the issue, I totally agree with Kerry.
I rode the bus all throughout my middle school and freshman years, and
now that I am a junior and have a car I feel that I have earned the
privilege of not having to take the bus. My classmates and I should
not have to plan our schedules around if kids are too lazy or spoiled
and get Mommy or Daddy to drive them to school.
