A Farmland Appeal...

From: Pastures Rose Creek Date:12/27/2013 7:18 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Subject: A Farmland Appeal... Hello folks,  and warm holiday greetings.  With many of our farmers enjoying "home for the holidays" the Bishop Central Market will take a pause for the week and will resume in the new year - picking back up Saturday, Jan 4, from 10 am - 2 pm.   In the mean time, we turn our attention to a matter very important to our community and appeal to all you farmers and farmers at heart... Protect Our Farmland, Oconee. "It's a construction plan of epic proportions!  They're calling it....a freeway !  Eight lanes of shimmering cement running from here to Pasadena!  I see a place where people get on and off the freeway, off and on, off and on, all day and all night...I see a street of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food, tire salons, automobile dealerships, and wonderful, wonderful billboards as far a

You cannot leave Santamaria off the first team

Okay, maybe Athens Academy did not have their usual outstanding playoff season, but I can only think of one area kicker to receive a full ride football scholarship to a Division 1 school and Michael Santamaria will be making us proud next year with the Virginia Tech Hokies. Shame on the Athens Banner-Herald sports department for not including him as kicker on the first team.  2013 Athens Banner-Herald All-Area Football Team
