Milner mayor resigns
FROM PAGE ONE
city’s engineers from
Falcon Design enumer
ate problems there with
stormwater drainage,
road repairs and other
problems. The infrastruc
ture which belongs to the
city will be costly to re
pair, said Patrick Brooks
of Geosam, but the
developers are ready to
offer the town $125,000
toward the cost of road
repairs.
Floyd said “Vintage
Park is literally a death
trap,” because there is
no second entrance/exit
in the event of disasters.
His remarks were made
during a heavy discus
sion about existing prob
lems in the subdivision
off Liberty Hill Road, all
while Lisa Amey, repre
senting a new developer,
was outlining plans for
Phase II. This will include
60 new homes on the
same size lots as those
already built in Phase
I, she said, but plans
for Phase III have been
dropped.
Ashley Horton, who
lives with her family on
Charleston Lane, said
that all homes in the Vin
tage Park neighborhood
are at risk from flooding
issues, fire probability
because of the closeness
of homes to each other,
lack of sidewalks for the
protection of pedestri
ans, and unfixed road
damage. Others agreed.
Further discussion is set
for the Aug. 9 workshop.
The final agenda item
was the Milner Com
munity Library, which
has become a source
of discontent for sev
eral council members.
Weldon said the library
board “has a plan to
turn over our library
to the city and put the
library budget into the
city budget.” He added
the “city is our funding
agent” and cannot legally
withhold funds from the
library. This issue also
will be discussed Aug. 9
and formally decided on
Aug. 16.
School enrollment

moved over the sum
mer and will transfer out
when their new school
opens. We are trying to
locate the ‘no-shows’,
especially the fairly high
numbers at the primary
and elementary schools.
All this starts leveling off
by late August or early
September,” Wilson said.
Classes began Monday
at St. George’s Episcopal
School in Milner where
administrators were also
expecting record high
enrollment numbers.
Classes at Rock Springs
Christian Academy begin
Aug. 16.

Honda Accord to free 28-year-old Chelsey Nesha Richardson

Richardson was crossing the intersection from Hwy. 36 when
her vehicle was hit by a 2006 Ram 1500. The driver of the
pickup, 58-year-old Mansour Elsayed of Stone Mountain, ran
the stop light at the intersection.
Both Richardson and Elsayed were taken by ambulance to
Upson Regional Medical Center. A backseat passenger in the
Honda, 34-year-old Tamika Dozier of Talbotton, was ejected.
She was taken by ambulance to Station 1 and lifeflighted

Is there really a genuine need to groom a cat?
Contrary to popular belief, the self-grooming done by cats does not eliminate
the need for additional grooming. The cat’s natural habit of constantly licking
itself happens to have a seriously harmful effect. All cats have tiny barbs on their
tongues that pull out loose hair as they lick themselves. The large accumulation of
hair that is swallowed causes hairball formations in the cat’s digestive tract. Even
though a cat may be given hairball remedies, they can still develop throat and
intestinal problems from hairballs. Professional grooming of the cat is therefore
not a luxury, it is an absolute necessity. Additional grooming reduces the amount
of hair that can be swallowed thus keeping the cat healthier.
Not only will professional grooming keep the cat healthier, it helps keep the
cat’s owner healthy too. Dander, a flaky allergen, is often the cause of human
allergies to cats- not the cat’s hair. Dander is the residue of a chemical in the cat’s
saliva which dries on the cat’s coat when it licks itself. The bathing and brushing
a cat receives when being professionally groomed effectivly reduces the amount
of dander on the cat’s body. No matter what has been said about people not being
allergic to the hairless cats, it is just not true. These too must be bathed in order to
reduce the dander that clings to their bodies.
Even though cats shed their hair more profusely during season changes, they
are shedding hair all the time. This is especially true for indoor cats.
