Rose Creek Stewardship and join the Great Oconee Clean Up

Pick up trash in your neighborhood or consider volunteering for the Tour D'Oconee bike ride early Saturday morning, May 7
Subject: Rose Creek Stewardship

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Happy Earth Day!

Last March we all banded together to clean up roadsides and creek banks along Elder Mill Road, Big Rose Creek, and Little Rose creek.  We collected 85 pounds of trash and a whopping 220 pounds of recyclable materials!

I was so thrilled and honored that you all wanted to be a part of that project, which is attached to my upcoming art exhibit.

I am contacting you again on behalf of Keep Oconee Clean And Beautiful Commission's "Great Oconee Clean Up Project".

KOCBC has joined with county officials to name April 30 and May 14 as special clean up days.  You can meet up with groups at Harris Shoals Park to go to designated areas, or, you can clean up in your own neighborhood.  Please see the attached flyer for more details.

After our successful clean up last March, I founded "Rose Creek Stewardship" and officially adopted a mile, which is actually the 4.5 mile stretch of Elder Mill Road from Antioch Church Road to Highway 15.

I invite you all to be a part of the "Great Oconee Clean Up" by participating in a litter pick up within our Rose Creek Stewardship Adopt-A-Mile area.  This time we will work on a more relaxed schedule in order to accommodate your busy schedules.  While April 30 and May 14 are the official clean up days, we are encouraged to clean up any time in April or May.  I would like to have our area completed by May 14.

If you are interested in being involved in this project, please email me as to when and where you'd like to pick up.  I will be collecting all of your bags to turn in on May 14 to KOCBC so they may document our results.  I will help you coordinate working with other volunteers for your time frame if possible, and arrange to pick up your bags from the roadside to hold at our place so that I can sort, weigh, and then turn it all in.  

Thanks for your participation in advance, and thanks for all you do to Keep Oconee Clean and Beautiful!

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
