Regina "QUICK" Update

I see State Representative Doug McKillip and his wife Mary walking around 5 Points almost every morning when I drive to work. I would well expect that this Republican primary race will contentious, expensive, and more like a sensational murder trial than a campaign. Here are a few opportunities to engage the process.

Can you name five people in Oconee County in this district? I cannot without computer software. I know there is at least one Oconee County Chamber of Commerce debate tentatively beginning on 6:30 pm with the meet and greet portion and then with the Tim Bryant moderated event going from 7:30-9:00 pm Saturday, July 14th at North Oconee High School auditorium.

Hello Everyone -

Some events to note on your calendars:

Candidate Forum for the Legislative Primaries on June 4th. 

Candidates from the contested House races in Athens are invited to join us

from 6:30-7:30pm at the Old Prince Ave. Fire Hall. 

The forum will be fully moderated, with written questions (submitted in advance and by the audience) fielded through a moderator.

Each candidate will be given the opportunity to make a brief opening and closing statement, with the balance of the time dedicated to moderated questions.  The forum will be controlled, efficient and informative. 

The voters appreciate the opportunity to see their candidates side-by-side.  Hopefully ALL candidates will show up.

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...
