	Lake season brings need for caution Lake Lanier is a thing of unquestioned beauty, especially now that a rainy spring has brought water levels back where they belong. For those of us used to living near its shores it is a tourist attraction and economic engine that we sometimes take for granted.

	Bridge project on Hwy. 20 long overdue At long last, it looks like the state Department of Transportation is ready to address the traffic nightmare created by the two-lane Hwy. 20 bridge crossing the Chattahoochee River and connecting Forsyth and Gwinnett counties.
