Watkinsville Garden Club installs new officers

Thank you for all those who packed the house this evening for the first of the bimonthly meetings of the Oconee County Democratic Committee. I was delighted to finally see my favorite columnist of the moment John MacKay and his lovely northern Italian bride of North High Shoals and very grateful to have his spine in defending the Oconee Enterprise newspaper from the slings and arrows of some of our more learned members. I adore Margaret Holt as much as she loves recently anointed DeKalb County Board of Education leader Michael Thurmond and only regret not being interviewed with her about the lexicon of language used locally. I think the idea of her husband Stef about having one idea inspired me to use that as a means of introductions for the next meetings with a definitive idea for each of us to coalesce around. Mine would be reduced to sidewalks. It was good to hear and see from people who are fed up with the lack of alternatives to the Republican status quo. The marketplace of id...

I will be on the radio this morning with Tim Bryant at Fox News Talk 1340 WGAU AM in Athens and available on the web at www.1340wgau.com for those of you outside the perimeter Loop 10 in Athens as their Cox radio reception signal is not super strong. I will be talking about the meeting of the Oconee County Democratic Committee meeting Thursday evening and local politics - maybe (?) some sports too.  Please listen or call in at 706-549-8255 or come to our meeting Thursday evening at the Oconee County Government Center's Room B102 (the USDA conference room) at 7:00 pm at 1291 Greensboro Highway (State Route 15) in southern Watkinsville proper. Happy 70th birthday Violet Dawe March 16th too - treasurer of our Committee forever and member of the North High Shoals city council.

Look for a volleyball court, nature trails, exercise stations, and more! Wouldn't it be great if we got it all in place in time for the warm weather? That would be right around April 27, 2013, which happens to be the date for Dog Day IV. This will be the biggest and best Dog Day yet. We need flyer dogs! Does your dog have what it takes to be featured on this year's Dog Day Flyer? Send me a few pictures and if our photographer agrees we'll schedule a shoot. If you have any suggestions for this year's event, please send those along as well. Lastly, we could use some voluntee...
