machines not like birthin' babies
By SALLIE SATTERTHWAITE
Contributing Writer
When in a former
life I was one of Peachtree City's first paramedics, I had a colleague
so terrified of finding himself on an OB call that is, "baby, coming
fast" that when he was on duty and paged for such an emergency,
he'd tell 911 to call me instead. I caught a baby or two in my time,
and couldn't see why it panicked him so.
Finally,
the candy day has arrived
By BILLY
MURPHY
Laugh Lines
The most controversial
of all our holidays is upon us. Thankfully, though, most people have
stopped opposing "Trick-or-Treating," and the Satanic mission
that it supposedly propagates. I guess those people are spending all
their time these days deriding anything "Harry Potter." You
can't feel cleaner without something getting dirty.
With
medical savings accounts, era of managed care is ending
By GRACE-MARIE TURNER
The age of managed
care ended and the era of consumer-driven health care began on Wednesday,
June 26, 2002.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Teens
may be abusing nonprescription drugs
I am writing to
all parents of teenagers and pharmacists in our local grocery and drug
stores. The over-the-counter medication Coricidin HBP is being abused
by many of the teenagers in our community.
Foreign
language education neded now more than ever
I suppose in a world
where English is the language of power it's not too often that we, as
Americans, are forced to utilize another language in our everyday lives.
However, this doesn't mean that learning to speak a foreign language
is a waste of time.
Put
enforcement teeth into PTC anti-litter laws
If you look around
you, it's easy to see that folks are littering more. The changes to
the appearance along our roadsides and on the grassy areas right or
left of the cart paths are substantial when compared to 10 years ago.
Helicopter
purchase, sheriff's role defended
Mr. [Larry] Robinson
first attacks the sheriff for purchasing a helicopter without the consent
of the Board of Commissioners.
Fayette
should look after bigger problems than teen sex
Fayette teen's fornication
case before the Georgia Supreme Court is the stupidest case I have ever
heard of.
Cannon:
Compare my record with opponent's
Tyrone citizens,
on Nov. 5, you will be deciding on the future of Tyrone by casting your
vote for the person you want to serve on the Tyrone Town Council. For
the past six years, I have had that honor and I want to thank you for
giving me your support.
Here's
chance to put Fayette resident into high state office
Tuesday should produce
a record turnout at the polls in Fayette County. Voters should be lined
up at the doors of their polling locations just to vote Gov. Barnes
and Lt. Gov. Taylor out of office.
No
tolerance for Southerners
Regarding discrimination
at Sandy Creek School: Tolerance is a two-way street. A school official
can tell a white student to never wear a Southern heritage or Confederate
flag shirt to school again, while NAACP, FUBU, MLK, Malcolm X and Playboy
clothing are being worn daily.
Hatcher
should focus on strengthening first-timers
With the divorce
rate over 50 percent, coupled with the many social ills as a result,
I wish the Rev. John Hatcher [Religion section, The Citizen, Oct. 23]
would have devoted his column to ideas to prevent divorce.
An
addendum to Hatcher's column on second marriages
The Rev. Hatcher
in the Oct. 23 edition shared how much he likes to preside over second
and third marriages to remind the bride and groom of God's forgiveness
and His desire for their happiness.
Out
of all those random parts comes Boeing 767
Big Bang (evolution)
Theory: Inside Delta Airline's Technical Operations Center (jet base)
are every conceivable airplane part necessary to build from scratch
an airplane. Now suppose one day the strongest tornado ever seen roared
through this center.
Fayette
ghost tale: If you're ever out Peter's Road...
In the spirit of
Halloween, I would like to share a Fayetteville legend I recently dug
up. If anyone has any insight into this legend or any further detail
about the legend itself please feel free to respond.
PTC
Library did great job on Hispanic festival
Kudos to the staff
of the Peachtree City Library for having organized a fun-filled event
celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month on Oct. 12.
Scouts
do good work at Rolling Hills
The church family
of Rolling Hills Baptist in Fayetteville wants to warmly commend our
Boy Scout Troop 212 for numerous acts of kindness.
