SOS Qualifying Training in Macon

Evidently this is being put on by Brian Kemp's office and not by the Democratic Party of Georgia. I asked our member of the Board of Elections and Registration Robert Wyatt through his wife Ann Stoneburner if he would like to attend.

Subject: Qualifying Training for the DPG in Macon

Dear County Chairs, CD Chairs and DPG Elected Officers,

As we indicated last week, the Georgia Secretary of State will be conducting training for County Party officials on Friday, April 27, 2012 at the Secretary of State's Professional Licensing Board Office (237 Coliseum Drive) in Macon, GA from 10:00am until 2:00pm. Right now we have about 20 people who have RSVP'd - If you'd like to attend and have not RSVP'd, please let me know so that I can share with the Secretary of State. 

To answer a few questions:

1) There is no cost for this event. It is free, although some might need lodging. As I travel around the state, I have found that hotwire.com and travelocity.com usually provide the best, lowest cost options for lodging. Other options include priceline.com and hotels.com.

2) The training is conducted by the Secretary of State, not the DPG. As such, there will not be another training from the GA SOS before qualifying. We strongly recommend that CD Chairs attend this event, but we are checking with the Sect. of State to see if the DPG can record the event for those not in attendance, and holding a training prior to the May 19th State Committee meeting conducted by DPG staff. These options have not been finalized and we hope to have more information soon. 

We need a head count of those people who wish to attend. If you would like to learn how to qualify candidates on the local level and will attend this meeting, please RSVP me (eric@georgiademocrat.org).

Thanks,

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...

A deep wound waiting to be healed - restoring order and dignity in the city cemetery

Image
The Watkinsville City Cemetery is an oasis amidst the houses on the east side of the municipality, near the neighborhood once called Sidney. There is a large section of the cemetery that remains a mystery, but perhaps we can work together to dignify the eternal resting spot somewhat better than the current neglected and forgotten (not to mention unmarked) graves of 70 people, more than likely of African-American descent. They deserve to be honored as well. An effort has been undertaken to repair the graves with fill dirt to stop the continued erosion amongst the graves. The most recent grave and bench belong to Larry Sheats,  and as any one who played basketball at Herman C. Michael Park or knew him otherwise  can attest, he was among the best people this county has ever seen. Larry was always ready to help. Now it is our turn to help. Do it for someone you knew there, maybe the Hardens, or the Downs, or any number of other people, but allow me to reminisce about how L...

I strongly disagree with the impending demolishing of the iconic Watkinsville Water Tower

Image
I know the Watkinsville Water Tower near where the "Big Spring" of what was one called Big Springs, Georgia serves no functional purpose anymore. I know it is a hazard. I know it is rusty and old and past its usefulness for the most part. I see a purpose beyond the aesthetic and instead as a possible financial benefit.  I know there is a way to keep it and make money for our municipality. I wonder who is doing the seemingly shoddy job of removing it (or at least preparing to raze it) and who stands to make money off that?  The dismantling of the Watkinsville Water Tower has already caused one gas leak and I can only imagine what problems await the demolition of the dinosaur.  If it is only because a group of kids have been crawling up it, then build a fence around it. I would think the City of Watkinsville would benefit and making monthly lease fees if they would instead do what about 90% of these abandoned water towers do and that is become a cellular telephone tow...
