userandrew: huntington southI am looking at moving to the Huntington south area for the following reasons. ntimid8tor: NASCAR TICKETS FOR SALE8 Nascar tickets, Earnhardt Grandstand, March 20th at 11:00 AM Richard Hobbs: Is Fayette County Republican?The County Commission Post position will be old news in the next several weeks, but it will leave behind a story that will be with us for years to come. coweta gal: It's just not Coweta ResidentsIt is amazing how many of you will throw stones at Coweta county citizens for coming to use your parks and paths, but don't think anything about using Kastle Park over in Newnan. In the summer the parking lot is filled with Fayette county cars utilizing our children's park, sprinkler park and picnic area. But of course, citizens of Coweta probably are more down-to-earth, generous and easy going. eyeluvptc: Once AgainOnce again, it is the DUTY of Ms. Watts and Mr. Hobbs to report these complaints to the ethics board. Not to have done so would have brought about these same outcrys of favoritism, just from another candidate(s). shannonmclark: FOUND: small dogTan cocker spaniel found wandering near Centennial/Walmart area in PTC. Call 678 364 8494. n6ubo: New Traffic SignsI wasn't aware that we allowed billboards in PTC?! eyeluvptc: It's their DUTY as the Board of ElectionsThe point is not who made the complaint or when it was made, but the fact that it was made and needed to be investigated. sour grapes: The Story Behind Sour GrapesI was injured on the job with the county. The doctor cleared me to return to work within seven to ten days after the accident. Howevever, former County Administrator Chris Cofty and Mark Pullium, the Finance Director, had an unwritten rule that no one could return to work with any restrictions until they were rated at 100 percent by the workers' comp doctor. My rating was no lifting over ten or fifteen pounds for a certain period of time. No problem. As the web person, I did not have to do much lifting. Since I couldn't return to work under this "unwritten" rule, I was out for seven weeks until the doctor cleared me to return work. The day I returned to work they abolished my job. Case of sour grapes? You bet ya. I was led to believe that I would be doing something else in the Information Systems Department when I returned to work; however, that just turned out to be a falsehood so that Mark Pullium didn't have to inform the Director of Information Systems and the Assistant Director of Information Systems (my department) until the day before the Board of Commissioners voted to eliminate my job based on Pullium's recommendation. concernedneighbor: Road SignsDoes anyone but me see a problem with the new road signs the county has posted on Hwy 54? It seems that a furniture store sign posted in a very "blending" spot to support our armed forces,is unacce ptable.But the BIG YELLOW signs that are being posted for upcoming road notices are acceptable? It is worse than looking at a resturant sign or store sign that has limits. Buckwheat Rules: OnyxOk, what gives? Hooters of Fayetteville goes away then this place called Onyx takes over the joint but never opens it's doors. First off, what is "Onyx?," Secondly, what happened to it? I saw all this remodeling going on and I even saw 2 days of activity as if it were a private grand opening or something of the kind......then nothing at all. Now it sits there with all the signs of a closed-up shop. Ted Knapp: Starr's Shine and War Eagles SoarLet's get this over with up front. Yes, I heard from Whitt Jones. Yes, he claims his dating life is just fine and needs no help from me. I expected that. What I did not expect were both my daughters and my wife agreeing with him! The entire female population in my home thinks he's "a real cutie." I'm sick just repeating it in public. My daughters thought my comments last week about Coach Jones simultaneously combined with my mug shot "debuting" with the column was somewhat of an "oxy-moron." Ouch, next time I'll pick on Brandon Hutchins. della: Trash, Trash EverywhereI'm a regular path user in PTC. I've noticed lately that there's a lot of trash lying everywhere! I guess since PTC is growning, so are the number of buffoons who litter. jcarde721: DOG FOR SALEWe have a 10 week old german rottweiller puppy and due to a job change have been forced to move she is akc registered i Buckwheat Rules: Racquetball CourtsDoes anyone know if there are racquetball courts anywhere in Fayette County? A league perhaps? I'm dying to play again and I just don't know where to go. bowser: Highway 74In all this talk of PTC annexation and Tyrone mega-subdivisions, it would be nice to hear some elected officials (besides the now-departed Steve Brown) talk about what can be done to save Ga. 74 from clogging up like a 90-year-old's arteries. Plauzon: Sanctity Of Human LifeCity-zen before birth... Why should we as a society not protect them in law? Is sanctity inviolable.... is the Sacred character of human life inviolable.

Luella: Tyrone Oak Trees no obstacle for Tyrone DeveloperI was very disappointed to see that the developer in charge of Legacy Theatre cut down historic oaks on that beautiful roadside property. Citizen_Steve: Vote in the Fayette March 21st ElectionA Fayette County Special election will be held on MARCH 21, 2006 Ted Knapp: Always a pleasureI hope by now you have become familiar with my weekly column. I appreciate all the kind words and emails in response to my first three weeks as a pseudo-journalist. I must admit I’m having fun. I love to write about young athletes. We have the best kids in the state right here. Our schools are terrific and the coaches are top drawer. Like you, I take great pride in being a resident of Fayette County. tedkara: $25 for 1 Hours WorkI need two guys for about an hour on Friday and Monday to move some furniture from one room to another. Email me if int Cheap Seat Chatter: Braves: Pull one outFinally got to check out the recording of Friday's Braves-Dodgers spring training matchup. That kid Saltalamacchia, the new youthful catcher, came up with the game-winning hit, a three-run dinger off a 92 mph fastball down the heart of the plate. Not too shabby; maybe he'll live up to his potential early, but heaven knows he's already gotten a ton of the hype. Cheap Seat Chatter's blog | login to post comments | read moreFayetteresident: Wanted: New Commission Chairman for Fayette Co.Chairman Dunn had his chance to do great things while in office, however, he will be known as the “most controversial commissioner”. He can’t seem to get along with any municipality in the county, and even his own employees find him difficult to work for – and, did anyone else get a chance to see the picture of his screaming face on the front page of the Fayette section in the AJC last Thursday? (section J) thenatural: Picking on High GreenFR, You make good points about the work done by local law enforcement fighting crime in the county. That is their job is it not? That is exactly why they are given the tools they have. I admire them for the job they do, I appreciate the job they do, but that does not mean that I think that blind loyalty is the answer. annmiller: Lost Cat HELPI lost a Tabby, Brown and Black stripped in the Braelinn Village parking lot infront of Kroger. She has recently has surgrey so her belly has been shaven. She got spooked and ran from us and we could never find her. Cheap Seat Chatter: Braves' Sosa is one to watchSpring training is, for most pro baseball players, a chance to stretch some baseball muscles that haven't been used in a while. Get in shape for the marathon that is a 162-game regular season. jberni: BaciBaci Italian Restaurant is back in Fayetteville. If you love Italian food and friendly attentive service you've got to g Ted Knapp: Jones hits jackpotI like Butch Prosser. Butch has always been kind and accommodating. I've had numerous McIntosh football players on our (recently cancelled) radio show during the last two seasons. The kids have always been polite, articulate and insightful. Butch joined us on numerous occasions, as well. Although most of his interviews followed tough losses, Butch was gracious and upbeat. |
