“The Final Solution”
“The only good Indian is a dead Indian”
“From the River to the Sea”
There are many ways to show bigotry, prejudice, and hatred. It is another level of despicable to use terms that speak of the murder and genocide of an entire race or nationality of people.
The term, “The Final Solution,” comes from Nazi Germany’s leaders as the...
“I’m not thankful for nothing. There, I finally said it. Don’t care if I get in trouble neither.” As a kid, that statement at any other time of the year would’ve gotten me into a whole bunch of trouble — perhaps even sent to my room without dinner, but that day was different. That day was Thanksgiving. And even though...

Happy Thanksgiving. This year, like many before, has had its share of challenges. Economic uncertainties, ever-changing market demands, and the balancing act of personal and professional responsibilities have all tested our resilience and patience. It's easy to be grateful during the good times, but how about the tough times? I know many of you who are reading this article...
The Plan for PTC political action committee presents a certain weltanschauung that is incessantly pro-developer and urban. Their goal was to raise significant amounts of cash and volunteers and overwhelm the will of the citizens, electing candidates who would take a pro-urbanization development stance (see: https://thecitizen.com/2021/07/28/plan-for-ptc-pac-funding-candidates-intent-on-remaking-peachtree-city/). One of the founders of the political action committee has revealed what they...
Several citizens urged the Peachtree City Council last week to lighten up on proposed short-term rental rules.

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. (Psalm 118:29)
Dear Friends, even in these times when it seems like the entire world is “going to hell in a handbasket” God’s mercy and grace are still at work.
For passive Christians that fact can easily get lost when trouble invades personal reality. Insecurity and ignorance about...

For about 27 years, I hosted Thanksgiving — long before I knew John Tinker — for family and friends who did not have a place to celebrate the blessings (and sometimes even the tribulations of the past year).
It was full week’s work. Firstly, it was the only deep cleaning the house got through the year. I hauled out beautiful...

McIntosh High graphic design teacher Lauren Bozone helps her students see a whole new world through design.
Becoming a teacher wasn’t initially in the cards. She went to college planning to be an architect, but there was too much math. Design was a perfect fit, and she did it commercially for many years.
In 2000, she was laid off and looking...
While this is an obituary, Gannon would not appreciate a dry and boring list of the details of his life. In fact, he would hate it and would look down from heaven and probably cause really bad weather or a power outage.
So, for the son that we knew and loved, we are going to write about him in the...
Last Sunday morning, our church did what it has done for the last 27 years: we gave thanks to and for the military veterans present and demonstrated our appreciation.
We did that by playing the anthem of each service (Halls of Montezuma, Anchors Away ... etc.) and calling out the name of the service at the beginning of the anthem...
It happened on a cool Saturday morning, just before Thanksgiving, but I remember as if it were just yesterday. Such a thing one doesn’t forget — even if it has been over fifty-seven years. I’ve been known to stretch the truth a little in some of my stories, using poetic license, if you will.
But not for this one.
What you...
