Scenes from an opening at OCAF with Dr. Roy Ward and friends
Oconee County is full of some amazing artists and equally interesting individuals, and the artist celebrated this evening is all that and then some. We are equally blessed to have a venue to display the great locally nurtured creativity such as the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation and their intimate 34 School Street. Tonight was one of those wonderful gatherings of like-minded individuals investigating the development and prints of Dr. Roy Ward, a longtime local legend and artistic eccentric genius photographer extraordinaire. It was great to see Dr. Roy Ward at his opening for his wonderful black and white photography at the 1902 OCAF Center Friday, surrounded by admirers and family. He talked of peacocks and autographed books. There was a lovely reception with many attendees. Former Mayor Jim Luken attended and brought Oconee Enterprise Publisher and Editor Miss Vinnie Williams to sit next to him if only for a fleeting moment. Oconee County Tourism Director Peggy Holcomb came ba...

FW: Health Insurance for Kids with Disabilities is at Risk
Woven brightly, Daniel J. Matthews, Jr. Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 13:45:08 -0600 From: info@easterseals.com To: danmatt@hotmail.com Subject: Health Insurance for Kids with Disabilities is at Risk Message body Dear Dan, Health Insurance Coverage for Kids With Disabilities At Risk Tell Congress to Vote NO on H.R.2. Last year, the Affordable Care Act became law. As a result of this new law, insurance companies can no longer refuse to cover children with disabilities and other pre-existing conditions. This provision came into effect on September 23, 2010. For kids served by Easter Seals and their families, this provision can transform a family. Prior to the law, families would lose coverage of their child with cerebral palsy, epilepsy or another condition. The only way that the family could get the services their child needed was to pay out of pocket. For many families, they had no choice but to take out a second mortgage, declare bank...
Sad but not surprising
Friend -- House Republicans are moving forward to repeal all provisions of health reform, with a final vote scheduled for next week. If they get their way, insurance companies will once again have the right to deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions, drop or limit coverage if you become sick, and charge women higher premiums than men. Seniors will lose critical prescription drug savings and free preventive care under Medicare. It's sad but not surprising. The motivations here have little to do with good policy. Repeal is just the first agenda item of a new Republican majority that is much more interested in appeasing their right-wing base and looking out for special interests than working together to create jobs and grow the economy. Behind the scenes, insurance-industry lobbyists are working overtime with Republicans to take us back to the days when their clients were able to do whatever they wanted. But this movement is different. We don't take our...

A different perspective is always greeted with skepticism and open hostility, or so it seems; that much said, I am looking forward to Mr. Garland's forthcoming first post in the local newspaper. An open letter to Paul Broun Jr. | AthensTalks.com

Congressman Paul Broun, M.D.
Whether or not the concept of viability of a fertilized embryo could be sustained outside of the womb seems to never enter into the discussion, I still believe in a woman's right to control her own reproductive organs, and not let other people decide for her. Sorry Congressman Broun, you are still flat out wrong on this one. This is the approach of dictating to women what they should do, when they should do it, how they should do it, and even if they can do it. Congressman Paul Broun, M.D.
