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 FROM PAGE ONE 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.

PAW SPA PET GROOMING BARNE5VILIE, GEORGIA Pet Grooming for Canines & Felines 207B Main St. Barnesville • 404-717-5409 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. $C00 OFF Grooming ^ - Food Drive - With donation of 3 or more food items for the Middle Georgia Community Food Bank Calling all kind canines and felines!
