Local
author and motivational speaker to sign book on Thursday
A spark plug is
the part of a car that takes the current from the ignition system and
forms the spark for combustion. It is needed if a car is to run properly.
Another definition is a person who inspires or energizes. That is the
definition most closely associated with Fayetteville resident Anthony
B. Thomas, better known as "The Spark Plug," a motivational
speaker and author of two books. He will sign copies of his new book
"When Times Are Tough, Everybody Needs a Spark Plug," at Barnes
and Noble in Fayetteville tomorrow at 7 p.m.
Summer
reading program underway
Summer
is a great time for a lot of things including cookouts, vacations and
watching summer movies. One of the best things about summer though is
summer reading and the libraries in the state of Georgia recently launched
their Books Ahoy summer reading program. There is a program for children
ages 13 and under, a Young Adult program for ages 13 and up and some
libraries even have reading programs for adults. Though the rules for
each reading program may differ slightly at each library, readers are
rewarded for the number of books they read, the number of hours they
read during the summer and the number of times they visit the library.
Barbeque
party at The Beach this weekend
Summer vacation
can typically mean a trip to the beach but that also translates into
either a long car ride or expensive airfare. Unless, you head to The
Beach at Clayton County International Park. The Beach will be the site
of the seventh annual Beaux-Arts Barbecue Beach Party this Friday and
Saturday.
Local

The

in the scheme of things two-and-a-half hours tops but it can feel even
longer when you are trying to make it in time to get one of 500 spots
to audition for "American Juniors."
