Street light gets knocked down in front of Eagle Tavern in downtown Watkinsville

Image
This street light was knocked over Saturday in Watkinsville This street lights looks as if it was saddened by the Georgia football loss to Missouri today. Down the street the banners were being taken down from the various ornamental street lights, presumably by someone from the Daughters of the American Revolution. I am all for historical recognition of various events and anniversaries celebrated by such displays, but wish they would extend down to Barnett Shoals where the ragged banners flap like they were on display at Fort McHenry.

Watkinsville City Council cruises through brief agenda with due diligence and consideration

Image
The process of municipal government approval of expenditures varies greatly given the gamut of getting done what needs to be accomplished. The agenda is what controls the course of the evening's activities, and it has been done flawlessly and expertly by Julie Sanders at the City of Watkinsville for as long as I can remember. Tonight was no exception to her consistency and rule I have always enjoy attending the Watkinsville City Council meetings and finding out what happens in our county seat. This evening they added white plastic chains to keep the adoring media throng from taking photos behind the city council members' backs during the meetings. I would hope that council continues to do so well without the annoying media snooping around behind them at their meetings. The meeting seemed to flow well regarding of any artificially constructed barriers to prevent any unnecessary media intrusions. Some smart aleck in the audience actually dared to tell Clerk Sanders of an ap
