Medieval struggle emerges in PTC
By CAL BEVERLY
Publisher

What is going on in the tiff between the Peachtree City Council and the city's Development Authority and should you even care?

Ode to iced tea

If Shakespeare had been raised in the South, the adopted homeland of iced tea, he surely would have written: "Lipton, Lipton, wherefore art thou, Lipton?"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Column misinformed about Tyrone annexing

Imagine my surprise to open the May 15 edition of your paper, and once again read a column about Tyrone from someone that obviously had not taken the time to do any research on the statements he made. I always find it amazing when someone expresses his opinion based only on his perceptions, only to find out just how confused that person really is or that he doesn't care enough to do his homework to find the true story.

Thanks for good food, Foodie fillet

Sadly, Bruce Scott of the Famous Fish Company nailed it when he filleted F.C. Foodie's review.

Reader has own wish list

The president of the Famous Fish Company needs to take Reading Comprehension 101.

Bravo for Chef Bruce Scott

I enjoyed reading Chef Bruce Scott's lengthy but informative editorial in last week's Citizen. Although he may have taken the F.C. Foodie column a bit too personal, he brought up many thoughts and observations that were right on the mark.

'How dare you'

This stance by the owner/chef of Famous Fish Company is right in line with the experience my family had there.

Mayor and his 'yes' men are costing city money

Forgive the length of my letter but there is much to say about the situation between the Peachtree City Council and the Development and Airport authorities.

Mayor denied voters just representation last week

Last week 69 percent of Peachtree City voters went unrepresented at the City Council meeting. That's right, more than two-thirds of those who cast their vote in the council election more than two years ago were denied representation.

Brown right about tennis

I have no relation to Steve Brown either. Thanks, Steve, for taking on all of these issues that make sense to most people.

Story biased against Watson

I believe this report regarding the proceedings in the Watson matter was biased and prejudicial against Jim Watson. Further, I fail to see how Mr. Watson's prior occupations would enable him to hide a body where it would never be found. At any rate, her remains were found, so maybe he didn't do it after all.

Throw kisses, not candy, at PTC July 4th parade

I would like to address some of the comments made by Ms. Beth Loftin regarding the Booth eighth graders.

Throwing candy at PTC 4th parade is our way of life

Story on science winners overemphasized competition

I was very disappointed in the recent National Science Championship article. The real story here is that two Fayette County middle school teams, for the first time ever, placed first and second place in this prestigious national competition.

McIntosh, Fayette County H.S. also in debate tourney

The story about the Starr's Mill debate team was good, but you could have also mentioned that the McIntosh and Fayette County high schools were also sending students to the national tournament. The fact that three of our county's high schools are competing in the national tournament says something about the caliber of students that we have here. As a newspaper representing our county, this could, and should, be a story worth taking another look at.

Agent failed to disclose home lay beneath airport approach

Thank you for the April 12 article on concerns over a new subdivision being built right under the future planned precision approach of Peachtree City Airport.It was an excellent article on a timely issue affecting homeowners and home buyers across the country.

Reckless child on motorized scooter is buzzing neighbors

Parents, what were you thinking? Do you think when your young son leaves home on his motorized scooter, that he drives sensibly and carefully? Well he doesn't.
