North Oconee new site of Oconee County v. Cedartown AAA HS football playoff game 7:30 Friday

From: OCONEE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL < email@blackboard.com > Date: Thu, Nov 12, 2015 at 3:51 PM Subject: 1st Round Playoff Game Moved To: lowellsdad@gmail.com A message from OCONEE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL Because of field conditions at Warrior Stadium, the first round playoff game between Oconee County High School and Cedartown High School will be moved from OCHS to North Oconee High School.  The heavy rains of the last two weeks – combined with the effects of two games played in that timeframe – have simply left our field in an unplayable state. Staff from OCHS and Oconee County Schools went to great lengths this week attempting to get the field ready for  Friday  night's game, and we are grateful for their efforts.  A helicopter was brought in  Monday , and OCS also worked with an outside turf company in an attempt to get the field in playable condition.  We would also like to thank the volunteers from our community that came to OCHS  Wednesday  night and showed

Dirty Dozen water sites right here in Georgia

Georgia’s leading water coalition named its “Dirty Dozen” for 2015, highlighting 12 of the worst offenses to Georgia’s waters. The annual Dirty Dozen shines a spotlight on threats to Georgia’s water resources as well as the polluters and state policies or failures that ultimately harm—or could harm—Georgia property owners, downstream communities, fish and wildlife, hunters and anglers, and boaters and swimmers. “The Dirty Dozen is not a list of the most polluted water bodies in Georgia, nor are they ranked in any particular order,” said Joe Cook, Advocacy & Communication Coordinator at the Coosa River Basin Initiative. "It’s a list of problems that exemplify the results of inadequate funding for Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division (EPD), a lack of political will to enforce existing environmental protections, and ultimately misguided water planning and spending priorities that flow from the very top of Georgia’s leadership.” The Coalition’s full report details the hist

Hold the jokes: Lawmakers go on pot fact-finding trip to Colorado | Political Insider blog

Any Saturday night (or really any day of the week) in Athens, Georgia would have sufficed as evidence as to why we need immediate and full recreational and medicinal usage in the cash-strapped State of Georgia. As soon as Georgia Republicans can figure out how to make (more) money on marijuana or cannabis, they will. The irony being it is already out of their greedy little clutches and a few have realized this. Hold the jokes: Lawmakers go on pot fact-finding trip to Colorado | Political Insider blog
