When I locked the
office door Friday evening, from across the way at Tiger Stadium I heard
the horn section unrolling "Pomp and Circumstance" for Fayette
County High School's graduating seniors. There were applause and cheers.
I stopped and listened and tried to imagine.
No
lighter side to teen smoking

I have a lame riddle:
What do Sherman's burning of Atlanta and a Peachtree City teen have
in common? They both leave a trail of smoke and ashes.
A
common-sense approach to stopping suicide bombers in U.S.

ERICH PRATT
It's going to happen,
we're being told. Suicide bombers are coming to America and they are
going to blow people up just like they have been doing in Israel.
LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
Growth
is not a dirty word in a free country
In a free country,
why should there be a conversation on growth? Why should you have a
say in what I do with my land or I with yours? I am sick and tired of
the communal thinking and politics in this county. If a person wishes
to control the use of a piece of land, make an offer and buy it! Otherwise,
mind your own business and stop trying to make private decisions out
to be community decisions. In my estimation, if I am not robbing, raping,
injuring you physically, or defrauding you, then my actions concerning
my person and property are none of your concern.
We
will overcome effects of Wynnmeade drug bust
With the events
that occurred in our community and the front page publicity that we
received from it, I'd like to take the opportunity to give anyone and
everyone that reads your paper the overall response and reaction from
the homeowners in our subdivision concerning guns and drugs in our community.
Some
questions about PTC Development Authority ties and tennis center
I personally have
not been to a City Council meeting since Steve Brown has taken over
as mayor. I had attended some of [former Mayor Bob] Lenox's meetings
and was appalled by his "don't think you can speak to me"
attitude, as well as the waste of time that most of the speakers were
concerning various subjects.
How
did they mess up F'ville traffic so completely?
A few weeks ago
it was announced the traffic lights would be synchronized in the Fayetteville
area to clear up problems with traffic flow, mainly around the square.
The following week workers were observed to be doing just that.

May 15:
Booth
students show patriotism in many ways
I would like to
respond to the letter by Kim Morrison regarding Booth students and the
comment made about not going to the July 4th parade if no candy is thrown.
Parade
is about values, not about candy goodies
I was both disappointed
and saddened after reading City Council's decision not to band candy
from the upcoming Fourth of July Parade. I found it disturbing that
the cries of (what appear to be) selfish eighth graders would ring louder
than doing the right thing, which is protecting kids from possible harm
and honoring those who died so we could be free.
We
must break out of cultural prisons and unite
Why is the 11 o'clock
hour on Sunday so segregated? May I offer three reasons? Race, denomination,
and culture.
Parents
should not let small children drive carts
It concerns me that
so many children are riding behind the steering wheel in their parents'
laps on the cart paths. While this may seem like a treat to the child,
it is very dangerous.
