Help us clean up Watkinsville this Saturday morning

You do not have to live in Watkinsville or even Oconee County to help us pick up litter this Saturday. If you are one to want to help the Democratic leaning lifters of garbage, you may gather at Chairman Jonathan Veit's house in Calls Creek subdivision (actually just outside Watkinsville city limits on Simonton Bridge Road/Whitehall Road entrance to Watkinsville at 8:30 am. This is near Veit's house and you can call him at 706-255-0222 or email gridirongazette@bellsouth.net or you can pick up debris in your own neighborhood if need be. This is from an email sent out by Veit earlier this week.

What: Watkinsville Litter Pick-up.
When: Saturday, May 30th, from 9 - 10 am (Coffee at Jittery Joe's to follow.)
Where: Gather at the entrance to Calls Creek Estates, which is on Simonton Bridge Road. Park at the Watkinsville First Baptist Church, 1610 Simonton Bridge Road. Calls Creek Estates is directly across the street from the church.

From Veit's house, or possibly on my own if I am running late, I intend to drive to the end of Barnett Shoals Road down by South Wire and Stone Sholas to take advantage of the sidewalks for anyone with kids. You are welcome to call or text me at 706-372-1062. You may also contact Jay Hanley at 706-202-7690 if you lean to the right at jayhanley1@gmail.com or call the Mayor Jim Luken if you are an independent or non-partisan at 706-769-5161 or email him at mayor@cityofwatkinsville.com

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. 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
