For this food, we are thankful to
Ga. farmers
By WAYNE DOLLAR
Georgia Farm Bureau President
Americans have much to be
thankful for. One of the biggest blessings of living
in this country — America's safe, abundant food
supply — will be the center of attention this
week as Americans sit down with their families to
tables loaded with food to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Farm-City Week, an annual event to promote better
understanding between farm and city residents, is
being celebrated across the United States from Nov.
19 through Thanksgiving Day.
Does religious speech have a prayer
this Thanksgiving?
By JOHN W, WHITEHEAD
The Rutherford Institute
On Thanksgiving Day, two great
American traditions are on display in homes across
the country. First, many families give thanks for
God's blessings on this country over the past 200
years. Then, stuffed with turkey and mashed potatoes,
they settle down on the couch to watch football
games.

SPLOST ethics charges against Avrit
have some substance
In response to Bill Webster's
claims that Janet Smola is a poor loser for going
after Carl Avrit, let's get something straight: Carl
Avrit is a certified cheap-shot artist.
Why is Smola lying about anti-SPLOST
people?
Who is Janet Smola and why is
she lying about Carl Avrit?
'Technicality' is a violation of
state election laws
Mr. Bill Websters's letter,
published in the Nov. 17 Citizen, spewed quite a bit
of venom in the direction of Mrs. Janet Smola. He
called her a “poor loser.” Perhaps Mr.
Webster is the “poor loser” since his buddy
Carl Avrit was the loser in the probable cause
hearing before the state Ethics Commission on Nov. 8.
Shame on you, Mr. Webster.
Oddo says thanks for support
Well, now that the elections are
over, it's time to take stock of what we accomplished
and to look to the future. For my part, after I took
a deep breath and plunged into the waters of the
political campaign, I found that much of the process
is enjoyable. On the plus side, walking door to door
not only introduced me to my neighbors, it also
helped keep my waist trim! On the minus side, because
the campaign period was short, getting out the
message was a challenge.
More should have attended Vets Day
The paper
carried a nice front page about the Veterans Day
observance, where, when, time. And all the good
citizens had to do was to show up and pay their
respects to those vets that were present, and to
those vets that were unable since they had given
their all or were confined to a wheelchair or
hospital bed. Sad to say, about 30 residents were
present.
Challenges still face mental health
services
The article entitled
“Fayette address = poor mental health care”
in the Nov. 3 issue of The Citizen raised some
critical issues in the field of behavioral health
care. My thanks are extended to the individual who
expressed those concerns.
