Click here OCAF Project to Give Studios 'Light of Day' School Street Studios' Windows Campaign Call for Donations When Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation (OCAF) was organized in 1994, a few skeptics believed the dream of Watkinsville as a thriving arts center would never see the light of day. The skeptics were wrong. Today, Watkinsville ranks in the top 25 of Small Cities for Arts designation by American Style magazine , and OCAF is a major contributor to that accomplishment. Still, the light of day remains an issue. At least in the School Street Studios.

Went to the Country Inn and Suites this evening at the behest of the Athens GOP forum for the House 113th Special Election, and it was quite the event. Maybe two dozen people were there.  At least one candidate in Alan Alexander did not attend but he did send his surrogate, who left quickly. There was an audience member named Brandon who kept asking me afterward about why I was a Democrat since a significant amount of time I spent spouting out what we both considered to be small l libertarian views on certain issues. We talked about immigration, taxes, small business, and some obvious softball questions of which Presidential candidate we voted for and party we caucused with. I was made to feel quite welcome and discussed reasons why the elderly will be hurt most by the (un)fair tax or a consumption tax. I would wager the person asking the questions wanted Chuck Williams to answer his questions first because he did at six out of the eight first questions. I enjoyed engaging Mr. J...
