The Oconee   Cultural   Arts  Foundation  is amazingly lucky to have such an incredible resource as Peter Loose and his amazing collection of world class folk art to be placed on display in Watkinsville at the 1902 Gallery for the next few weeks and it's well worth checking out not just to see the Howard Finster's but of course those are my favorite but the Carter Wellborn's and so many other amazing artists I was completely overwhelmed and loved every exhibit and painting and sculpture that was there. I was astonished that there were numerous pieces of Howard Finster art for sale in the three to five hundred dollar range.

It's no small coincidence that Watkinsville voters will be green with envy on St. Patrick's Day March 17, 2015 of those who do not have to vote AGAIN for a distilled spirits referendum despite having passed it on the last General Election.  For that be the day laddie that the voters will flock down to City Hall or the Board of Elections or possibly also the Government Annex to vote again on something that passed by a 2-to-1 margin in these very parts once again.  The city attorney attempted to alleviate my concerns unsuccessfully, and the city council voted 5-0 to approve the special election March 17 with advance voting as well at the Board of Elections office. Far be it from me to suggest someone on the city council make a motion to adopt that which already passed in the same contiguous county, and abide by the voters previous sentiments, and having to burden them to rubber stamp that which has already been decided, and please take concrete steps to make sure

  DPG Chairman Porter Issues Statement Commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day Democratic Party of Georgia Chair Issues Statement Commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day Atlanta, GA –   Today, Democratic Party of Georgia Chair DuBose Porter issued the following statement in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. "Today, we celebrate a legacy that shaped a more fair and just country. Dr. King fought not only for the equality and dignity of humanity, but also against poverty and economic inequality.
