trict. restricted industrial and heavy
industrial zoning areas.
Additionally, no sign may be placed
within 200 feet of agricultural or resi
dential property projected as such by
the Forsyth County Land Use Plan.
An amendment allowing the plan
ning department to demand bill
boards be maintained was added by
Commissioner James Harrington.
While not completely agreeing with
added restrictions both Harrington
and Charles Welch, who had held out
staunchly against earlier changes,
said the new billboard ordinance is a
"good compromise.”
“We spent enough time on that,”
said Harrington.
The sundown clause included in
earlier drafts, requiring nonconform
ing signs to be taken down within a
certain period of time, was Welch’s
biggest concern. It was also the peg by
which the courts overturned Fulton
County's recent ordinance banning
billboards.
Commissioner Michael McGaughey
introduced a new twist to billboard
restrictions, asking that the board
consider banning billboard advertise
ment of alcohol and tobacco products.
The suggestion was well received by
the other board members who voted
to have council look into the issue’s
legality.

Marion Franklin Shirley, a Forsyth
resident at the time ofthe march, filed
Chapter 13 bankruptcy Thursday.
Shirley said all of his money had gone
to legal bills relating to the case.
“It’s a death blow for the free
speech of white people in this coun
try," Shirley said. “They haven’t shut
me up. If that was the intent of the
suit, they’ve got another thing
coming.”

Peregrines falcon most viscious
falcon at Atlanta-Fulton stadium
No sooner had I mentioned that
Zoo Atlanta officials were releasing
three new peregrine falcons from a
downtown roof last week than Keith
Kalland. the traffic man, called to re
port he thinks one of three peregrine
falcons released a year ago is living
on the roof of Atlanta-Fulton County
Stadium. ‘‘l’ve seen it swooping
down," says Kalland, obviously a man
with an eagle eye fortrafflc and birds.
Sadly, one of the three falcons re
leased a year ago was killed in Atlan
ta traffic. Peregrines are native to
Georgia, but hadn't been spotted in
our state in more than 40 years ...
Such a sighting of a peregrine falcon
at the stadium caught Pete the
Northside barkeep’s attention.
“Probably the most ferocious falcon
that’s ever hung out there," grunted
Pete, with tongue ever so slightly in
cheek... News of a real live falcon at
the stadium also brought back memo
ries ofthe amusing pre-game scene in
the early days of the Falcons. A real
live Falcon mascot was released to fly
around the stadium and then return
to his perch and handler. The Falcon
sped around the stadium all right, but
not back to his master. He zoomed
away, never to be seen again. Obvi-
At the school board meeting Tues
day members and staff also wrestled
with using $60,000 worth of federal
grant money before a deadline of
June 28.
The grant money has been available
for two years to renovate bathrooms to

ously, the bird had the scoop on what
the Falcons’ franchise was gonna be
like and flew the coop in horror
Mikhail Gorbachev is the most
amazing politician of the 20th centu
ry. Talk about a man doing a high
wire balancing act As the summit
was going on in Washington, my
phone rang and it was a manager
from the Gwinnett Longhorn Steaks
“We had the Russian weightlifting
team in here the other night,” he re
ported. “They loved the steaks and
had a ball.” The irony is, shortly,
those same Russians will be back in
the Soviet Union standing in a food
line, dreaming about a Flo’s filet
from the Longhorn... Of course, they
could hustle over to the Moscow Mc-
Donald’s. Yep, you’re right It's not

four schools but was not utilized until
now because of difficulties working

quite the same and the stuff of which
revolutions are made... It is a rapid
ly shrinking world we live in. thanks
in part to Gorby and Ted Turner’s
CNN. currently celebrating its 10th
anniversary. All that was brought
home to me last summer standing in a
native thatched-hut bar i n the jungles
of Jamaica, the Carribean Island.
While I was sucking in all the beauty
of paradise - a nearby waterfall, ba
nana and coconut trees, mountain
peaks - the natives were glued to a
set watching CNN anchor Dave Mi
chaels give the world news. Four
days earlier, I had bumped into Mi
chaels at the bar at Peachtree Cafe in
over-civilized Buckhead. That, folks,
is a small world.
Now that Coca Cola has canned its
Magi Can its now planning an iced
coffee beverage to be marketed later
this year. It’s name? "Georgia." Iced
coffee? Thanks, but no thanks. Re
portedly, though the Japanese are
crazy over the stuff... Sources say
Boston Light, the Underground sea
food restaurant, is the latest to strug
gle financially in the downtown pro
ject, but will remain open under
Chapter 11 reorganization .
June 28 or the school board could risk
losing the grant
The money will be used at Forsyth
Central High School and Cumming,
Sawnee and Midway elementary
schools.
