Dear Friends,

Please mark your calendars for two important upcoming meetings:

7 p.m. Tuesday Oct. 7, Oconee County Courthouse. Meeting of the Board of Commissioners to discuss the proposed Epps Bridge Centre on Epps Bridge Parkway. See my blog of last night for details (www.oconeecountyobservations.blogspot.com).

7-9 p.m. Monday Oct. 13, Oconee County Library in Watkinsville. Candidate Forum.

Oconee County Board of Education candidates Tom Breedlove and Rich Clark, 46th Senate District candidates Bill Cowsert and Sherry Jackson, and Tom Leach, write-in candidate for the chairmanship of the Oconee County Board of Commissioners, have agreed to take part.

The Forum is being organized by members of five citizen organizations: Citizens for Oconee's Future, Citizens for South Oconee County, Friends of Barber Creek, Friends of the Apalachee, and Oconee Citizens for Responsible Growth.

Incumbent Sen. Cowsert is trying to rearrange his schedule to attend in person. If not, he has committed to send a representative. The other candidates have committed to attend in person.

Incumbent Oconee County BOC Chairman Melvin Davis has been invited to the Forum, and his secretary has indicated that the message has been received. So far, Davis has not responded.

Citizens attending the forum will be able to ask questions directly of the candidates upon recognition by a moderator.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON. WE NEED AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AT BOTH OF THESE MEETINGS.

Lee

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
