Peachtree City residents watched with sadness as Westpark Walk Cinemas was torn down last week. Gone the hope that someone would come save it as a cultural arts center, gone the hope that an "angel" would turn it into an entertainment complex with foreign films and stages for live performances.

If Walt Disney had lived in the 15th century, his theme park may have looked a lot like the Georgia Renaissance Festival in Fairburn. With so many new added attractions this year, the entire family could easily make a day of it. And what a different day it is when surrounded by fair maidens, brave knights on horseback, jugglers, jesters and many other colorful characters. Yet there is much more to the famous festival than costumes. Charlie Brown. His trials and tribulations are universal. Charles Schultz’ round-headed hero has been a permanent part of the American culture for more than fifty years. It’s no surprise then that Whitewater High School has chosen the Tony-award winning play “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” as their first musical. Director Angela Olivera and music director Kelly Butler offer a larger than life look at the comic strip’s perceptive take on life. They say that when you have your first child your whole life changes. Your priorities realign and suddenly the focus is on the baby, its needs, its happiness and its safety. When you bring home your first puppy and you are well past the age of fatherhood, your focus is on your shoes, your shoestrings and keeping them tied. One of the biggest moments in a teenager’s life is getting a driver’s license. Soon, they are experiencing the freedom and frustration of rush hour and Sunday drives.

The 1940’s will come alive May 8 at the “Second Annual Dixie Wing CAF WWII Swing Dinner Dance.” In April the birds are out, the sun is out, people are out and so are TRUCKS! TRUCKS! And more TRUCKS!

Recent, well publicized, child abductions and violence across the United States often strikes fear in the hearts of parents. Although most parents attempt to discuss these occurrences and the dangers of strangers with their children, they often unintentionally send mixed messages and fail to properly instruct their child as to the correct way to recognize a dangerous situation and then respond accordingly.
