Barber Creek hearing tonight

More from Lee regarding the meeting tonight. See the info below.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Dear Friends,

I have heard from a lot of people who say they will attend the meeting on Tuesday night before the EPD. We need everyone possible there. This is a chance for us to show the EPD and the County that we really do care about Barber Creek and that we have reasonable requests for changes in the draft permit. We want to address problems of flooding, we want the cleanest possible water released, and we want independent monitoring.

These three requests are listed in a flier available on the Friends of Barber Creek web site at www.barbercreek.org under the news and events section (petition). Or you can go directly to http://www.barbercreek.org./barbercreek/Help_Preserve_Barber_Creek_Flier_v2.pdf to download the flier.

Please print out this flier, sign it, and bring it with you to the meeting on Tuesday night. If you cannot attend, please sign it and mail it directly to the EPD at the address listed on the flier.

Please also make copies of the flier and give it to friends in your neighborhood and urge them to attend the meeting.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m. and will be held at the Oconee County Civic Center on Hog Mountain Road.

Thanks so much.

Lee

Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
