Don't

You'll have to excuse me
if I ramble a bit this week.

I am going to look beyond
the hysteria of the day, real or otherwise and try to turn our minds
to the silliness that still abounds.

Fellow citizens:
There is no reason for panic, just caution.
Terrorism
revisited: Some have been fighting this enemy for a long time
By
RANDY GADDO
On Oct. 25, 1983,
in Beirut, Lebanon, then-Vice-President George W. Bush Sr. walked the
perimeter of what was at the time called the worst terrorist attack
on Americans ever.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Readers respond to the Rev.
Dial's letter . . .
Not
the usual 'empty happy talk' babble
Thank you so much
for printing the article by the Rev. Howard Dial from Berachah Church
["A biblical response to Sept. 11 terror attacks," The Citizen,
Oct. 17]. It is good to hear someone respond to this catastrophe from
a viewpoint of strong faith and not the usual smarmy, empty "happy
talk" that most televised "religious experts" babble.
Biblical
view often censored in media
Thank you for printing
the wonderful article by Dr. Howard Dial in your paper. The biblical
view is censored by so many of the media. I appreciate your willingness
to print it.
Encouraged
by clear-cut truth straight from Bible
I was most encouraged
as I read the editorial by Dr. Howard Dial. I was thankful to hear such
a clear-cut representation of truth that was presented straight from
the Bible. I appreciate your willingness to print this story and hope
that there will be many who, like myself, are grateful for the true
hope that comes through Jesus Christ alone! Thank you very much!
Finally,
someone offers compassion, love of Jesus
Finally! Someone
who will speak the truth, stand up and be counted for Jesus Christ,
and yet offer love and compassion to the world.
Print
more, if he remains consistent
A message in the
paper written by Dr. Howard E. Dial ... is most appropriate. It's nice
to know someone has that level of focus on God's desire for His people.
Hooters
fine
F'ville action on
underage drinking just 'slap on wrist'
Some
ideas for Jenkins-Ellison road intersection
As a resident of
Gaelic Glen subdivision which is bounded by Jenkins and Ellison roads,
I don't think any discussion about the intersection of these two roads
is complete without mentioning the need for extra turn lanes.
Easy:
Vote NO 4 times, YES once
The voters of Peachtree
City are being asked to vote on five bond referendum questions. I would
like to offer my opinions on each bond issue.
Rapson:
Here are my actual positions
My stance in the
past has been to refrain from political debates in the newspapers. I
believe citizens expect differences to be resolved in public with both
parties present. Unfortunately, a letter to the editor printed in last
week's Citizen stated my position on several issues inaccurately. I
believe people need to hear Steve Rapson's positions from Steve Rapson
and I owe it to the readers to set the record straight.
Faulkner:
PTC's secret 'bonus' rewards
In 1997, Peachtree
City's public safety employees voiced a need for early retirement benefits.
They were told that although the city understood the consequences of
having 67-year-old firefighters and police officers, there were no funds
available. That same year, however, while my opponent was the financial
advisor for the city, a special senior management retirement plan was
secretly orchestrated and implemented.
PTC
Council Post 4
Fritz: Council has
made tough choices
Fritz
must answer for higher tax, Wal-Mart
I have been asked
my opinion from a substantial number of citizens recently on whom to
vote for in the upcoming election. I have already endorsed Steve Brown
for mayor and Steve Rapson for Council Post 3. Up until now, I have
remained rather quiet regarding the Council Post 4 seat. Recent publications
in this newspaper, however, have persuaded me to respond accordingly.
PTC
sign thieves, respect freedoms our service members are fighting for
I am angry and upset
that someone came onto my private property and removed a campaign sign.
That person took away my freedom of choice. Isn't that what our servicemen
and women are fighting for right now?
Lakly:
My experience will help solve problems
I have offered for
mayor of Peachtree City for some of the following reasons.
Brown
will put average citizens' needs first
This year's election
in Peachtree City can be a watershed event. We have the opportunity
to turn the city government from developer friendly to a government
that puts the needs of the average citizen first.
Rower:Traffic
plan to stress shift changes, cooperation
What about traffic?
Murphy
is the choice of firefighters' local for mayor
The concerns about
our safety and security after the events of Sept. 11 weigh heavily on
the minds of all of us. There are issues on the horizon that will affect
our country, state, county, and city that are still unseen.
