Allow me to share
with you information about one of my good friends here in Fayette County,
one Kenny Melear.
Sports
brings us together . . . ?
By BILLY
MURPHY
Laugh Lines
On Sept. 11, I was
traveling and came across a very interesting headline in "USA Today."
It was their 9-11 issue and it said flatly: "How sports brought
us together."
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
F'ville
Council: Imagine south side as park land
As many Fayette
citizens are aware, the Fayetteville City Council has been debating
the Southside Master Plan which involves over 250 acres between Ga.
Highway 85 and Jimmy Mayfield Boulevard.
F'ville,
look at Atlanta woes; don't cram more into our city
Most of us have
heard of the deplorable condition the city of Atlanta is in. Most of
this is due to and was caused by their politicians and city leaders,
not the people.
Contractors
in no hurry to finish stadium as McIntosh misses home games
More than a thousand
McIntosh High School students and several thousand more of their family
members are watching this year's football season pass before their very
eyes. Our first home game was played in August, and it was held at Sandy
Creek High School because McIntosh currently has no bleachers in our
football stadium.
Fire
department under-staffed, needs help
The events of Sept.
11, 2001, affected all Americans and brought fire departments throughout
America to the forefront of the public's thoughts. On this anniversary
of that horrific day, dozens of citizens of Peachtree City came by the
fire stations bringing cards, flowers, cookies, meals and letting us
know how much they appreciate us and what we do.
Acting
responsibly doesn't lead to eugenics
I respect differences
of opinion in regard to my monthly column and I value the "Letters
to the Editor" forum that allows those differences to be aired.
I do, however, contest two assertions presented in Mr. Trey Hoffman's
comments about my Aug. 28 article entitled, "The Decision to Conceive."
Many
Fayette drivers ignore safety, courtesy
Today I drove down
Ga. highways 279 and 314 in Fayette County. It was like running an obstacle
course. People were driving crazy! They were speeding, changing lanes
without giving directional signals, tailgating, then getting angry and
giving the finger when they couldn't get through traffic.
Latest
news of ex-Mayor Lenox is embarrassing
I find myself ever
so slightly embarrassed.
Bulletin
to Bob Lenox: You're no longer mayor; give it up!
Mr. ex-Mayor, give
it up! I am one of "many" Peachtree City citizens who are
sick and tired of you, the "ex-mayor-in-absentia," rambling
on and on
Brown
doing right thing on Golfview, PTC tennis center
I would like to
address three issues: The attempted arrest of the mayor, Golfview Drive
situation, and the Development Authority.
Lenox
suffers strange lapse of memory at arrest hearing
I haven't been in
the habit of writing letters to express my opinions, but I find the
actions of Bob Lenox so ridiculous that I just can't keep quiet. As
a citizen of Peachtree City, I find it absurd for him to take out his
personal revenge at the public's expense.
Brown
wrong to criticize Mayor pro tem McMenamin
Mayor Brown, I have,
until now, kept my opinions to myself, but your latest diatribe in Wednesday's
Citizen has forced me to stand up and be counted. Succinctly put, you
not only owe Ms. Annie McMenamin an apology, you owe one to every citizen
in this town who, after careful consideration, chose to seat her on
the City Council.
After
diatribe last week, is it strike 3 on Mayor Brown?
Accountability,
maturity and security: These are just three qualities one would expect
a mayor to possess.
Time
to throw the bums out?
Enough already!
Spending over $45,000 to argue amongst ourselves. Using city help to
watch your kids. Constant squabbling over minutia. Installing 10 stop
signs on Golfview Drive to control the speed.
Cart
path funds have been part of ongoing PTC budget
In the recently
published article on the Peachtree City budget, Peachtree City Mayor
Brown reported that he was interested in a referendum to fund golf cart
trail repairs.
Why
is Lenox so angry?
Re: PTC's Captain
Ahab and his white whale! The bottom line, how much money is this nonsense
going to cost us?
Get
a life, Bob
Is it just me, or
does ex-Mayor Lenox need to get a hobby? And by that I mean one other
than watching Mayor Brown's every move.
Lenox
throws public tantrum
Re: Captain Ahab's
"wail."
Traffic
devices needed in hilly Golfview's residential areas
Thanks to the mayor
and council members, we, the residents of Golfview, now feel safer as
we walk along the street, work in our yards, exit in and out of our
driveways, etc. Since the traffic calming measures were installed, there
has been an increase in pedestrian traffic, bicycles and golf cart traffic,
which we did not see prior to the installation of the traffic calming
devices.
After
noise, complaints, new situation on Golfview is safer
I am one of the
residents that live on Golfview Drive. One day I came home from work
and there was a stop sign plunked right in our front yard next to the
driveway. I had no idea this was coming. I thought, Great, finally,
some relief from the speeding traffic. I have two young kids who play
out in the front yard and have been concerned about the speeding traffic
that goes by our house.
Golfview
no longer drag strip
For several years,
users and residents were exposed to the dangers associated with fast
and reckless driving. Children walking and on bikes, going to and from
the club pool, were exposed to these thoughtless drivers.
Want
to appeal your tax reassessment?
The outcome seems
predetermined
What's
in a name? Plenty, if it's a church
As I read "What's
in a name? A lot, if it's a church" by the Rev. David Epps [The
Peachtree Citizen Review, Aug. 30] I had several thoughts of my own.
First, I enjoy reading opinions by the Rev. Epps and I realize he was
having a little fun with the many names of churches in our country,
but I couldn't help think a little more seriously about the issue.
It's
your fault we all have second-hand smoke
One of the reasons
people chose to live in Fayette County and in Peachtree City is because
this is such a family oriented and supportive community.
Yea
for Hootie and Augusta
I am insulted by
the unadulterated arrogance of national Council of Women's Organization
chairwoman, Martha Burk and her namby-pamby behavior concerning Augusta
National Golf Club. This nation was founded on freedom: freedom of speech,
freedom of religion, freedom to assemble and, unfortunately for Ms.
Burk, the freedom to form a private club with the right to decide who
will and who will not be allowed to join.
