Want to help move a school house or help South Oconee County get a trail?

The following is from Tony Gleen of Citizens for South Oconee and he forwarded an email from John Cleaveland about helping in the efforts of moving the massive school house to the Heritage Park location


First, if you haven’t seen this week’s Oconee Enterprise, be sure to pick up a copy and read the lead article. Folks, our citizen activism IS making a difference in south Oconee. If county officials are stating publicly their concerns about growth in the southern regions of the county, then obviously we have helped create an environment where they feel comfortable doing so. This is a very positive development. We can’t let our guard down though. Be sure to attend the BOC meeting on Tuesday, November 7th when the Plum Creek rezone requests will be voted on. Incidentally, be sure to let the folks at the Enterprise and Oconee Leader know how grateful we are of their coverage of these issues.

Second item. See the message below from John Cleaveland. The Central Schoolhouse is about to make its long awaited journey to Heritage Park on Monday (also see the Enterprise about this). Here’s an opportunity for you to help out. I know it’s late notice, but if you can be at the schoolhouse tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 9:00 a.m., bring along a cordless drill and extension ladder if you have one. People will be boarding up the windows of the school to keep them from busting during the move.

Thanks everyone!

Tony

Everyone, please pass this on, Brent Kickbush and I will be heading up a work party to board the windows up on central school house before its move on Monday if you or any likely soul you can think of can help we will be meeting at the school house at 9 sat morning. If you have a cordless drill bring it. also extra extension ladders will help get this done quickly.

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
