Somebody's got to
rein in not rain on Peachtree City's annual July 4th parade.

Exposing
the urban myth about NEA
By DR. DICK CARPENTER
From time to time,
one of our misguided loved ones forwards an e-mail containing an inane
urban myth, those stories people swear are true but really aren't. You
know the ones I mean.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Tyrone's
Cannon makes disagreements personal
I would like to
answer your questions and discuss them but first let's get something
cleared up. I didn't say that your previous letter was a personal attack
on me. I said that, when someone disagrees with you, you put a personal
slant on it. I asked if this was necessary. What makes me say this?
'Pappy'
says thanks for 'life-altering experience'
Words seem so inadequate
to express my appreciation to all those who supported me during the
"Survivor: Marquesas" season on CBS.
Wheat
campaign unveils weekly 'attack-o-meter'
Each week through
the primary election on Aug. 20, the Mike Wheat campaign will be sending
"an issue of the week" to the press and stating our position
on that issue. We want to inform the voters on our positions, and to
motivate our opponent to shift his efforts away from simply attacking
Mike to actually stating his positions on these important issues. To
that end, we will publish an "attack-o-meter" count each week
of letters by his opponent that attack Mike rather than address issues.
We
citizens of Fayette may not vote in the numbers that perhaps we should,
but let no political office seeker assume that we are so unconcerned
about our county politics that we never verify the campaign claims now
filling our mailboxes.
Wheat
is most proactive
I've been involved
in local government for many years and I've formed the opinion that
there is no perfect candidate and only a few depraved.
Chambliss
is only candidate to have visited in Fayette
While we are all
turning our attention to the local county commission race, please don't
forget that we will also be deciding who will represent us in the United
States Senate. The person sent to Washington as Georgia's senator will,
in all likelihood, decide who controls the Senate. This seat is of incredible
importance.
Chambliss
opposes new taxes
The Saxby Chambliss
for U.S. Senate is the most important race for Georgia and America for
the following reasons:
Brown
right to be worried about Coweta development
Mayor Steve Brown
has just cause to "worry" the Coweta [County] officials will
allow rampant development if the proposed [TDK Boulevard] connector
is built. Without written safeguards from all parties involved, I'll
bet my pension Brown's worst fears will be realized.
What
happened to mayor's promises of open government?
I'm a little confused.
During last year's mayoral campaign in Peachtree City, Steve Brown used
"open and honest government" as a cornerstone of his campaign.
Now we find out that he held private conversations with three of four
City Council members regarding the hiring of a special investigator
to investigate the contract between the city and the Development Authority
prior to any proposal or public discussion. The one council member left
out of the conversations was Councilwoman Annie McMenamin.
Help
out some long-time residents of PTC woods
I wanted to ask
the public to please avoid hitting turtles trying to cross the road.
We all know jokes about how slow turtles are, but they really do need
our help when trying to cross the road.
Spanking
is not abuse; kids need appropriate discipline
I read Jill Lech's
response (July 3) to the Rev. Epps' comments (June 28 issue). Sadly,
her experience at the hands of allegedly abusive parents affected her
judgment.
Society
gives power to kids
When I was growing
up, as well as most of the people reading this, spanking your child
didn't end with the possibility of going to jail.
