Airport
could be a pivotal issue in '02

International Airport ... I don't think there's any place name in the
Southeast whose mention evokes more mixed reactions.
The
News: It's sex and money
By
BILLY MURPHEY
Laugh Lines
If love is the top
of psychological triangle and the basis of all human motivations, then
sex and money are at the top when it comes to the nightly news. In pre-9/11
days, the Chandra Levy story headlined the news for weeks and weeks.
At its heart it was a sex story: Did "she" and "he"
do it?
NPR's
anthrax 'story' a poisonous 'guilty until proven innocent' lie
Traditional Values
Coalition has just sent the following letter to National Public Radio
President Kevin Klose asking for a complete retraction and apology for
a story that aired on Jan. 22 that inaccurately linked TVC to the anthrax
letters sent to two U.S. senators. TVC is considering legal remedies
against NPR for this story.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Bullying
editor wrong to blame lawyers
Memo to mail room
employees, interns, and any and all messengers at The Citizen: Don't
deliver bad news to Cal Beverly you might get shot. In his column of
Jan. 30, Mr. Beverly inexplicably attacks the lawyers representing Peachtree
City and Fayette County in the ongoing tax equity mediation for doing
their jobs.
Balanced
calendar would be a benefit to many
As I began to read
Wednesday's letter from Jean M. Zhuño to the Fayette County School
Board members, I initially was amused because I couldn't imagine that
anything so insane and void of reasoning could be anything but tongue-in-cheek.
After finishing, though, it became apparent that her letter and opinions
were in fact genuine, and that scared me.
Balanced
calendar doesn't equal longer school year
I read with
great interest the article and editorial discussing the proposed calendars
for Fayette County schools. To say the least, I am disturbed by the tone
of both. I felt Ms. Zhuño's letter was written with flowery language
that hid flaws in logic. Your headline of "Longer school year ahead"
also sent an invalid message and I would like to address each.
Year-round
school an idea deserving of more debate
I was both excited
and disappointed to read the article about year-round school ("Longer
school year ahead?") in The Citizen Jan 30.
Year-round
school: Time we moved away from old way
I have found the
news about the proposed school calendar quite interesting. I think that
it's about time we move away from a school schedule based on agricultural
needs, and one based on student needs. Students need less review time
when they have shorter breaks between school years. Retention is so
vital when it comes to core subject such as math and reading. Having
several breaks through the year will give students and teachers time
to regroup, giving much needed rest and relaxation.
AT&T
service deplorable, needs community action
It is apparent that
the poor and shabby quality of our AT&T Broadband TV service is
being experienced by many in our city. What is frustrating is that the
sub-standard service never improves.
Development
halt is government take-over
It is not clear
to me whether Frank Hyde is being sarcastic or is a completely selfish,
shortsighted, idiot. By applauding the City of Peachtree City's arbitrary
and unconstitutional moratorium on building, Hyde and others like him
are leaving the gate open for the government on all levels to take from
the people, control the activities of the people, and erode our freedoms
at will without regard to the rule of constitutional and natural law.
How
about declaring a moratorium on whining?
I believe that Peachtree
City has a certain charm. It isn't just the golf cart paths, the beautifully
landscaped areas, or the recreation areas. The real charm of this city
is the citizens.
