When Nolan visits us, he often runs up to me and says, "Papa, let's put on our Superman shirts."

Posted 11/7/2009 | Comments (0)
Ours is a community that has long cried for improved health care facilities. With all that is happening in medical care in Newnan and Coweta County, it seems those cries are being heard. New health care facilities are beginning to roll in, and more are on the way.
Two grand new facilities to honor the veterans in our community

Veterans Day is a special time in our community. Usually from early November until the holiday itself -- Nov. 11 -- there are programs and activities honoring the thousands of men and women here who have served our country. Seems like the entire community gets involved in the festivities.
Tall grass on Highway 34 small example of budget crisis pitting state vs. local governments
Posted 11/5/2009 | Comments (10)
All those people who are complaining about the tall grass in the median of Highway 34 East from Thomas Crossroads to Peachtree City may be happy to hear the Coweta County Commission has decided to cut the grass. That's probably the right thing to do, because the grass is high enough to potentially be a safety issue.
Georgia is the state for business
Posted 11/4/2009 | Comments (7)
Georgia is open for business and will remain that way as long as we don't raise taxes. During times of economic downturns and declining revenues, you will hear a variety of suggestions on how to turn around the economy. These suggestions can be as reasonable as tax incentives for job growth or as outlandish as raising taxes on struggling businesses and families. Raising taxes in Georgia is not an option. Georgia is poised for an economic turnaround utilizing free-market principles.

Fox, CBN networks of integrity

You would think with all the things going on, the president would not worry about Fox News. But this president has never had his priorities in the right order.
Special needs children at the fair
Posted 11/5/2009
On Oct. 13, the Kiwanis Club opened its hearts and donated its time to open the Coweta County Fair for the special needs children of the county. Several rides were open and the fair employees were very patient as the children were loaded and unloaded.

If an individual chooses to listen to radio talk host Glenn Beck as their source for political innuendo, so be it. But let's state some facts about the statement made by Director Anita Dunn, White House Communication office.
Reality show in Congress
Posted 11/3/2009
This past week our nation was treated to a U.S. Congress reality show. Republicans videotaped the Democrat side of the aisle during a weekday, showing nothing but vacant seats. Playing in the background was the song "Hit the Road, Jack."
Senoia no longer loving, caring

I was not allowed to get my driver's license until I was 17. I will never forget that day, but not for the usual reasons that most young people remember the day.

RUSH SERUM: You say take a daily dose of Rush Limbaugh truth serum. Does this "truth serum" consist of Vicodin, Valium and Oxycontin? That's what Rush's daily doses consist of.
TRICK, NO TREAT: To the only three trick-or-treat kids I had on Halloween: Shame on you for littering candy and wrappers in my driveway, and to the driver for knocking my mailbox over and destroying my flowers. Do not come back next year.
DON'T BLAME OBAMA: To the person blaming Obama for the delay in H1N1 vaccines: Please get your facts straight before blaming the president. The vaccine is produced from eggs, and it doesn't happen overnight. Obama has nothing to do with this.
SICK: The flu vaccine problems are the first government health-related policies we have witnessed. Imagine these folks in charge of all your health care. Feeling sick?
MERE MORTAL: We blame the president for gas prices, the lack of flu vaccines, the depressed economy. Good grief, people, he is the president. To hear you all, you would think he was the all powerful Wizard of Oz. He is a mere mortal.
LEFTOVER CANDY: I'd like to donate the leftover candy from Halloween. Anyone know of a local charity who takes candy?
TALL GRASS HEALTHY: I think the air quality along the uncut median on Highway 34 is much better than the more frequently cut median. The tall grasses filter out gas fumes and exhaust from the heavy car and truck traffic. It does make for a healthier air environment.
GROCERY NEEDED: We need a real grocery store on the corner of Willis Road and Highway 154. There is too much traffic at Thomas Crossroads for older people to fight the traffic. A nice Food Lions would be sufficient. It's time for a change. Other grocery stores are overcrowded.
HALLOWEEN SPOILED: Thanks to the lady who ruined Halloween for three 11- to 12- year-old boys. She said there was a Coweta law that says anyone over 10 was not allowed to trick or treat. She refused to give them candy. At that point, they were completely humiliated.
ANIMAL CONTROL: Is a goat fenced in your front yard considered yard control? Coweta Animal Control, please help remove this issue from Fischer Road. The community appreciates your support.
TIP THE TECHS: Yes, stylists do make their money with your services, and it is greatly appreciated. The people you should tip are the shampoo techs. They are the ones that only get paid tips.
BOTH DISTORTED: It's not about Fox News or CNN. People choose to watch what they agree with. It's as simple as that. If you were really wise, you would watch both and see how each is distorted.
