I hope Sarah Bell does run for the 113th Special Election for the Statehouse. She is very well spoken and concerned about Oconee County and yet not beholden to corporate interests like at least one of the other announced candidates. I think she would siphon a significant portion of the Chuck Williams support. However I must counsel this: no one wants to be teased like the current Chair of the Board of Commissioners did with the dance around the seat formerly held by Hank Huckaby. I would be happy to support her in the seemingly inevitable run off but only if she announces as soon as possible The Oconee Enterprise > Latest Updates > Sarah Bell considering run for State House

Subject: Major Change in JJ Dinner Hi Everyone! Just got a message from RJ last night that there have been major changes in the upcoming JJ Dinner. RJ said: "Chairman Berlon informed the Officers today that President Carter will not be able to attend the originally scheduled May 21st JJ Dinner. No alternative dates have been provided by President Carter's representatives, but the JJ will NOT be held May 21st. This most likely means GADCC and State Committee meeting will not take place on May 21st either. Chairman Berlon will give further details and announce an alternate date with other special guests by Tuesday May 10th the latest." So, as soon as I hear, I'll let you all know the plans.

Tell me what you have done, and I will tell you what you believe in."   (Mother of Congressman John Boccieri, D-OH)  ...

 Watkinsville received an early Saturday morning wake up call before the supposed Grand Opening of Oconee County Farmers Market even set up with the inaugural Tour d'Oconee bringing bunches of bicyclists to Oconee County with cars coming from Norcross and LaGrange and other areas all over Georgia. Volunteers from the Democratic Party of Oconee greeted the cars as they came down 441 and State Route 53 and directed them to park behind the Oconee County Courthouse, the Virginia Wells Building and Ashford Memorial Church. Husband and wife combination including vice chair Ann Stoneburner and Robert Wyatt were positioned at opposite ends of the continuum from Experiment Station Road to Harden Hill Road, pointing the arriving throng to the awaiting parking lots. Pat Adams and chair Dan Matthews dealt with folks coming from behind the courthouse parking lots and pointing them down Third Street past Eagle Tavern to find their pre-race packet. We met lots of really nice people from all...
