OK, first things first, I ran against Chuck Williams for the State House of Representatives in 2011. That does not give me any official platform to criticize Mr. Williams, any member of his family, or how he conducts his business or makes any comments to media. That much being said, Mr. Williams should resign his seat in Georgia House of Representatives immediately and apply/run for a slot on the Oconee County Board of Commissioners or the staff if he wishes to control the comments coming out of Emil Bashara or any other member of the Oconee County government.

The City of Watkinsville worked wonders to make sure that developmentally disabled children will continue to have every opportunity to enjoy life at the Extra Special People expansion incorporating property from the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #9147 as well as a sliver of city property from the back end of Harris Shoals Park thanks to donations of planning and construction among many other amazing facets of this truly wonderful story. Jon Williams of Williams and Associates drew up many architectural renderings of what awaits the intersection of VFW Drive, Mimosa intersectioned  into a reworked road out of the back end of Harris Shoals Park. There will also be a cul-de-sac like turn-around for buses and the like. Also the pre-existing dance studio of Joan Mann shall remain in the VFW property as well, just moved a bit.
