PTC hosts GOP state candidates this Saturday By CAL BEVERLY
Four GOP statewide office-seekers will present their cases for election to the Fayette County Republican Party's First Saturday breakfast this Saturday, Sept. 7. Guest speakers will be the candidates in the Republican primary runoff for lieutenant governor, Mike Beatty and Steve Stancil, and for secretary of state, Charlie Bailey and Vernadette Ramirez Broyles. The breakfast meeting, open to the public, will be at Augustino's Italian Cuisine in Peachtree City, beginning at 8:30 a.m. Augustino's is located in the Wisdom Pointe Shopping Center at the intersection of Wisdom Road and Ga. Highway 74 North. The runoff election for several state offices will be next Tuesday, Sept. 10. You may vote in the runoff election even if you did not vote in the primary election. Oops No sale on area golf courses Contrary to rumors swirling around town, seven golf courses in and around Fayette and Coweta counties have not been sold. The courses, including Flat Creek, Planterra Ridge and Braelinn in Peachtree City, are owned by Lakeland, Ga.-based Patten Seed Company. "We have had some conversations with folks, but nothing has been finalized. These courses have not been sold," said Patten's Bill Copeland. Copeland emphasized the company is not actively looking to sell, but is open to discussion about the courses. A Newnan newspaper has already printed a retraction for the erroneous information, he said. A Fayetteville paper also ran the erroneous story, apparently rewritten from the Newnan paper. John Thompson. Get ready for repair delays on Hwy. 74 N. Commuters on Ga. Highway 74 North will need to leave earlier and bring an extra measure of patience along with them this month. They will be seeing "Lane closure ahead" signs for the next month from the Ga. Highway 54 intersection in Peachtree City north to the Fulton County line, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. Working in 2-mile increments, DOT workers will be closing off lanes to saw out, remove and replace damaged areas of pavement. "There are many areas along this section of roadway that need repair, so this operation will be ongoing throughout [September]," a DOT news release says. "Motorists should plan their daily commutes with possible time delays in mind."
