When
the caregiver needs more care than the patient

Some things are
worse than death. And Alzheimer's disease may well be among them.
Another
round in battle for our kids' minds
By MONROE ROARK

Cobb County, Georgia,
is the latest district to stir up controversy over its decision to allow
students in its public schools to hear an alternative theory of how
we all got here. As a result, "smart" people around the country
are weeping and wailing about how those poor children are going to be
trailing behind when they get to college, because other kids are being
exposed only to "real" science.
Support
your local businesses
By BILLY
MURPHY
Laugh Lines
I have been to the
new Home Depot three times since it opened and I already hate it. Besides
being told every time I visit, "We just opened and don't have that
in stock yet," I had one of the most exasperating return experiences
in my life.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Bar
association keeps judge slot from voters
Once again the unelected
and unaccountable members of the Georgia Bar Association have conspired
to deny the citizens of Georgia the right to vote.
Question
for F'ville southside development: 'Why,' not 'How'
With all the plans
in the works for Fayetteville's south side, I feel the question should
not be how should it be developed, but rather why?
Helicopter
issue: Abolish role of sheriff, create county police
I agree that the
Fayette County Sheriff's Department was wrong to buy a helicopter without
approval of the County Commissioners. Apparently that office has unlimited
confiscated drug money.
Council,
letter writers ignore facts about Golfview
City council, Letter
writers conveniently ignore the facts on Golfview.
Golfview
uproar can be measured in mere seconds
After reading so
much about the unbelievable delays that you and other city officials
have imposed on the poor residents that have to travel on Golfview Drive,
I decided that I had to see firsthand just how bad you people had messed
up.
Bush
says, Trust me, but where's the clear threat?
President Bush stands
before us today and asks that we commit our soldiers, treasure, and
good name to destroying Saddam Hussein. The political arguments are
complex, but seem, in the face of no new evidence, to boil down to his
saying: Trust me, it's for the defense of the nation.
Chambliss
a 'chickenhawk'
William Fielder's
recent letter to the editor in support of Saxby Chambliss' bid for the
United States Senate left out one critical fact: Saxby Chambliss is
a chickenhawk (a term often applied to public persons who urge military
solutions to political problems, yet have personally declined to serve
in uniform during wartime).
Victim's
family says thanks
The family of Chuck
Vicha would like to thank the people of Peachtree City and the surrounding
area for the kindness shown to us through these difficult days since
our beloved Chuck's tragic death. (He was the innocent victim of the
high-speed police chase that started in Luthersville and ended at the
Peachtree East Shopping Center on Ga. Highway 54 on July 27.)
Correction
In last Wednesday's
paper, an editing mistake changed the intended meaning of the final
sentence in a letter from James Howell of Fayetteville. Referring to
publicly funded charity programs, the sentence should have read, "Keep
taking our money the way you do, and you will have more on these
type programs than you will like."
Cowboy
Engineer relates mayor's backroom tricks
After reading about
the attack on my favorite Golden Boy (he's called Golden Boy because
everything's always coming up golden for him), I decided to do this
condensed exposé because "I just wanted the public to know."
This exposé is especially dedicated to that one-man crusader
and the greatest PTC Mayor of all time, Mr. Bob Lenox NOT! It will also
be dedicated to outgoing cry-baby City Manager Jim Basinger. Also, how
could I forget, it is dedicated to all the fire-breathin' PTC establishment
crowd that I now see at the Council meetings.
'Council
ready to work with all comers' Really?
Mayor Brown, it
is time for you and your "team" to listen to the residents
of Peachtree City. Only 3,171 registered voters, approximately 15 percent
of the registered voters in the city, voted for you! This is no mandate
for you to charge ahead remaking Peachtree City to your personal vision.
Some
Council discussions aren't getting in the paper
I enjoy reading
Mayor Brown's letters to the editor. His letters better than any from
the members of the "government in exile" demonstrate his ignorance.
Paper's
review needs review
That review of Chuck
E Cheese's made it sound almost like a place you would want to take
your kids, when in actuality, the food is so overpriced it elicits a
"Are you serious?" when you read the prices pizzas that cost
about three times what they would anywhere else.
