Review finds fewer voter
registration problems

ing in the wrong council district or at
addresses that didn’t exist.
As of Oct. 1, that number of dis
crepancies has been revised to 1,053, a
figure based on a new county voter list
that takes into account the new district
maps.
The Fulton Coun
ty Department of
Registration and
Elections told the
city last month that
the information it
used to create the
voter list is based on
older city maps that
do not reflect recent
redistricting.
“Five thousand to 1,000, good
progress,” Councilman Gabriel Ster
ling said.
As for the remaining 1,000 irregular
ities, City Manager John McDonough
said the Department of Registration and
Elections is “still working on those.”
City Council elections are on Nov. 5.
Also during its meeting, City Coun
cil approved an upgrade to the historic
home at Lost Corner Preserve.
The park, located within 2,000 feet
of the Chattahoochee River, is dotted
with streams and rock falls, as well as the
Miles’ family home of Peggy Miles, the
woman who sold the land to the city.
The city’s project budget was
$387,000, but the quote for the project
came in at $401,000.
City Parks Director Ronnie Young
asked the city for ad
ditional money to
complete the stabili
zation.
“As we move into
tearing up things in
an old building, we
may run into some
things that haven’t
appeared,” Young
told the council.
City Council ap
proved adding $37,500 to cover the ad
ditional $14,000, and leave some mon
ey for contingency purposes.
City Council also added $37,500 to a
general contingency fund, using money
from a fund for renovations to the Heri-
tage Bluestone building.
City Council members said the sta
bilization of the home at Lost Corner is
a priority.
“This home needs to be preserved
and protected,” Councilman Tibby De-
Julio said.
“Five thousand to 1,000,
good progress.”

How do I know if I am at increased risk for Breast Cancer?
The strongest risk factor we know of is indicated by a pattern of breast
cancer that occurs in several female family members. If your maternal
grandmother, mother, your sisters or other female relatives have had
breast cancer, this indicates a strong family history. Such women may
benefit from earlier screening, and from genetic evaluation and testing,
which can be arranged by a breast cancer specialist.
