Subject: [oconee] Neat things coming up!

 
Remember that the forum about creating a park -- and protecting for
future generations -- the area around the covered bridge is tonight at 7
PM at the library in Watkinsville!

Here are a few other things I thought you might find worthwhile:

We're meeting Wednesday at 6 to discuss award-winning writer Tracy
Kidder's "Mountain Beyond Mountains" -- a wonderful book about Haiti and
an American doctor's incredible outreach to the poor there. We meet at
Five Points Deli on Epps the last Wednesday of every month -- and anyone
can join in the discussions.

And planning further ahead:

The Keep Oconee County Beautiful Commission has planned a litter
clean-up of Harris Shoals Park on April 24th at 9 o'clock --

and the Mayor of Watkinsville Joe Walter is sponsoring another litter clean-up
that's a contest between Democrats and Republicans to see which group
can bring out more folks to help. (We won last year!) That's scheduled
for May 8th -- and is also probably at 9.

We have some wonderful Saturday Strolls lined up for May and June, all
of them at Harris Shoals Park and all led by naturalists or artists who
draw from nature for their work. More on that later!

Thanks!

Pat Priest

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

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
