Democratic party finally hears from its own local candidate



Rich Clark, candidate for the Oconee County Board of Education and the lone local candidate on the November ballot, appeared before the monthly meeting in the Grand Jury Room of the Oconee County courthouse in Watkinsville Thursday evening. He led a lively discussion of the much hyped educational system in Oconee County. Clark will run against developer Tom Breedlove for a position on the Board of Education.



Instead of registering new voters with the Obama team Saturday, the members discussed the date of a bike ride less than a month from the proposed date. The Tour de Pottery may or may not be officially approved by the powers that be at OCAF and have a route toward Danielsville or possibly remain right here in Oconee County. Jonathan Veit and Tony Glenn were to have checked with local potters to see if they can have bicyclers pedal to their local markets/houses or Rocket Field or both and have a SAG wagon riding behind to hold all their purchases.

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
