Doctor offers help for man in insurance limbo

I feel I have to respond to the heart-felt man attempting to get medical care. I can present three options:

1. Totally free care at the Fayette Care Clinic. Hours are limited and I don’t know the costs of labs though I believe they are discounted. There might be an income cap, but I don’t think so. Only restriction is that you must be an Fayette County resident.

2. I think the name is the Take care clinic, or Care bridge. It is a low-cost clinic run in conjunction with the Peachtree City First Baptist Church. I’m sure their office has the answer. Read More»

Does PTC staff really see Council as boss?

The following seems trivial, but the unspoken and unaddressed question of the relationship between the Peachtree City Council and the city staff may make it of interest.

At the Feb. 21, 2013, meeting of the Peachtree City Council, Councilman Eric Imker suggested that certain reports now presented monthly by the Police, Fire, and Public Works departments be presented less often.

Council member Vanessa Fleisch asked if the information was available monthly even though it might not be presented monthly to the council. Read More»

Fayette aids Adairsville

Thanks, Fayette County; you are the best.

We went to Adairsville, Saturday, Feb. 23, and what a welcoming experience it was. We pulled up in a caravan consisting of three trailers, two pickups, three vans, three cars, and Allen McCarty’s mobile home. All were as filled as we could fill them with all new items. Read More»

Just examine angry Democrat’s words to determine who really is racist

It appears that Deborah Lum is surprised that she was called out on her diatribe of Feb. 6, 2013, “Why do blacks block vote? Let’s count reasons” in The Citizen.

And when she was called to task for her mean-spirited, racist and hate-filled accusations and labels, she accuses you of “living in an alternate universe” per her article in last week’s Feb. 27 Citizen. Read More»

Who is actually living in alternate universe?

Ah, Ms. Lum, you ascribe life in an alternate universe for myself and Mr. Allen. You may be correct.

In the universe where I reside, words used by you to describe those with whom you disagree, words like; intolerance, chicanery, incompetence, asinine, bigotry, hypocrisy, stupidity, racist, ignorance, etc. are in fact not civil discourse and do reflect hate.

I am sure that you recall the President’s call for civility after the Phoenix shooting, but maybe in your universe that message was only meant for Republicans. Read More»

Way to go, Gabby, girl!

I just finished reading an article about Peachtree City’s own Gabby Seiler breaking Jeff Sheppard’s scoring record at McIntosh High. Because of the absurd tallness of most college and NBA players, i.e., approaching nine feet, I am not a basketball fan. I am however a fan of American women, and Gabby Seiler is indicative of the growing power of American women in our world today. Read More»

Let’s remember some history

I would like to point out a few things that Deborah Lum of Fayetteville does not know, because all appearances she is educated on the left wing blogs and the left wing news media.

Since 2008 the government is totally dedicated to becoming a socialist Marxist country and as long as that is the goal of Obama and the Democratic Party. Read More»

Catfish tales

Sallie Satterthwaite's picture

A long-time aficionada of the succulent white meat of Ictalurus Punctatus, I was delighted several years ago to be invited to join the Loyal Order of Catfish Lovers. For $5 I’d get a badge, bumper sticker, newsletter, membership card, and instructions for the secret LOCL handshake from The Catfish Institute (a marketing association, not a school of fish).

What a deal! The packet came promptly as promised. Read More»

Sequestration — What it really means

Bonnie Willis's picture

With all the fear and rhetoric going on about the sequestration and the impending deadline for the “across the board cuts in federal spending” to take place in less than a week, I think it is important to take everything in context and understand how we got to this point, the real numbers involved, and the implications of what this means for our government and ourselves.
