Upcoming water events in the area (river-related)

Ben Emanuel spoke at the Oconee County Democratic Committee meeting last Thursday at Jittery Joe's in Watkinsville on St. Patrick's Day evening. The leader of the Oconee River Project led a far-ranging discussion about everything anyone wanted him to address about water and reservoirs in the area. He mentioned so many events coming up the end that I made sure he emailed them to me so I would not get them wrong.

Woven brightly, 
Daniel J. Matthews, Jr.

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

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.
