Gas
crisis dredges up painful memories
By DAVE HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
How well do I remember
the gas lines and the rationing during the energy crisis of the '70s.
Tales
of traffic and the PTC bubble
By AMY RILEY
One
Citizen's Perspective
The three biggest
issues in Peachtree City today are traffic, proposed capital expenditures,
and the looming blight on the extreme west side of town in the form
of two unwanted big box stores.
Cheer
up

Laugh Lines
A few years back
when the book "Prozac Nation" came out, I became a missionary
of sorts trying to get as many people to read it as possible.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Hard
lesson learned: Remove golf cart keys
Fifty months ago,
my son died in my arms. Joe had experienced an asthma attack at the
age of 14, and neither I nor the arriving paramedics were able to save
him. It was, as you might imagine, the most tragic event that can occur
in one's life, and I realized shortly thereafter that the worst thing
I would ever have to experience was behind me.
Tax
cut is illusion; don't you realize that's your money?
There is turmoil
in the land! There is a shift of power that can be devastating to the
world! The end of an era is at hand!
Might
PTC fund 54-74 traffic improvements to give break to big boxes?
It is my sincere
hope that our city government in Peachtree City is not trying to bill
the citizens for traffic improvements that will entitle the big box
developer to build a Wal-Mart and a Home Depot.
Keep
baseball kids healthy
Recently a Fayette
baseball parent wrote a very good letter to the paper and its readers
explaining the necessity for warming up young players properly and watching
pitch counts in order to maintain healthy arms.
MHS
student defends his Confederate heritage
Upon reading Marc
D. Michael's controversial and highly misinformed letter that was printed
in the May 2 edition of The Citizen, I have taken it upon myself to
defend my Southern heritage and rectify the many mistakes that were
present in his letter.
We'll
keep commemorating our Confederate heritage
While I have written
several letters about the slavery-Confederate flag issue, one letter
written by Marc D. Michael is beyond any understanding. He has decided
to play God and banish all Confederate soldiers to hell. He said God
wiped them from the face of the earth. So, if there is an ounce of truth
in his judgment theory, then relax, they are all in hell.
Soldier
says thanks
My name is Kenneth
Gosnell. I am the son of Judy Robinson and brother of Kevin Robinson.
I know that at times the Army sends out Home Town news bulletins about
how we, "the local soldiers," are doing. I thought that I
would send one out myself because I want to say thank you.
