Parents who live
in one development on Fayetteville's far-western fringes have found
an economical, reasonably safe and healthy alternative to get their
children to and from school each day.
Darkness
falls on Pylant Street: Senoia loses one of its treasures

When you live in
a small town everything is magnified, and Senoia is no exception.
After
Sept. 11 lessons, why are we disregarding eco-terrorism?
By ELAN
JOURNO
Editor at The Ayn Rand Institute
As we combat Islamic
terrorism abroad, we must recognize the deadly threat posed by a homegrown
source, one that since 1997 has been responsible for over 600 attacks
and has inflicted more than $100 million in property damage.
- LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Dev.
Authority had no budget until last year
Your Sept. 26 piece
stated that the overruns on the Tennis Center expansion were $2 million.
Actually, we believe them to be around $500,000.
Without
getting Christian's side, how can truth be found?
Since your article
was in the "opinion" category, my opinion is that what you've
written is unprofessional, at best.
Looks
like Mayor Brown was right: Authority mismanaged
When my wife handed
me The Citizen with this headline, she said, "Are you surprised?"
What a joke. I remember writing an opinion response almost two years
ago regarding the concern that the "new mayor" was going to
do "bad things" to the PTC Authority, and specifically, the
Tennis Center. Looks like he (Steve Brown) was absolutely correct in
his assessment.
Direct
PAC, city differ on TDK status
Direct PAC's side
of it
PTC's
official position
I wanted to provide
some additional information following receipt of the e-mail below, on
which Mr. Schlosser copied me. For the record, the mayor and council
unanimously passed a resolution of support for the project on Sept.
5, 2002, and then unanimously voted to approve $170,000 in funding for
the project on Feb. 6, 2003.
PAC
endorses Kourajian
DIRECT PAC announces
that it is endorsing Stuart Kourajian in his run for a seat on the Peachtree
City Council. Mr. Kourajian receives our endorsement because he exemplifies
the values we consider important for elected officials in our city.
'Nonjudgmental'
position is self-contradictory
In Mr. T.J. Parker's
article, ["Bible has been used and misused through millennia,"
The Citizen, Sept. 17, 2003] he takes Pastor Keith Turner to task for
being "keen to judge," "dogmatic," "a minister
of propaganda," "prejudiced," and for being, well, un-Christian.
It seems not to have occurred to him that his article, just like that
of Pastor Turner, is based on a point of view which presupposes his
own set of standards for right and wrong, what is moral and what is
not, and how people are to behave when they express themselves in public
debates.
Rowdy
concert-goers get away with bad behavior
There are few things
more valued in this world than a person one can count on. When that
person says that things will be fixed, they will be fixed. We used to
have that kind of person in charge of the amphitheater in Peachtree
City.
Why
did paper give forum to a convicted murderer?
Like many people
in Fayette County I followed the disappearance of Beverley Watson in
both the newspapers and on television. I for one felt the coverage was
balanced and fair. I kept what I thought was an open mind but, in the
end, like the jury, was convinced Jim Watson was in fact guilty of murder.
Adidas
contract being changed, issues addressed
[Editor's note:
The following statement was read Sept. 25 by Tate Godfrey, chairman
of the Development Authority of Peachtree City. He was responding to
a detailed resignation letter from Vice Chairman Scott Bradshaw last
week in which Bradshaw laid out in detail the financial and personnel
problems facing the authority in its management of the Tennis Center
and the amphitheater. That letter plus the Adidas contract mentioned
below is online at www.TheCitizenNews.com. Following this statement,
Godfrey read a letter in which the DAPC resigned from its management
contract with the city and turned the two venues back over to the city,
as of the end of October.]
