I wonder what the count is in Athens-Clarke County, especially since one the findings of the 2010 Overview Commission (appointed by the Grand Jury) was that the Sheriff had approx. 4,000 unserved warrants.

She is an inspiration.

I agree and it also takes an impressive amount of money. The cost of the test, which is elective thus not covered by insurance, is out of reach for most of us. (At least it was for me a few years back.)

I believe deputies are sent out by the sheriff, not a judge. I honestly forgot to show up for jury duty one time & it was the sheriff who called me at work & said, "Ahem, do you know why your name is on my desk this morning?" Nobody had to send a deputy for me, I couldn't get there fast enough.

@crazy8golfer: Park & Ride lot was approved by the former mayor & commission.

@gman129: And then the grade-fixing and cheating will begin again.

A man loses his life and ABH commenters engage in sophomoric one-upmanship about it. Not surprised.

@cdawgfan10: Responsibility and liability falls squarely on the adults who failed to supervise the boys & dogs. Protect the children, don't blame them.

@Abbesays: What's wrong with keeping cores & peels til you get home & tossing them in your own yard? That's what my husband & I do.

Ridiculous!

@maxcat07: You can't unring a bell.

Since the last gorilla at Gorilla Haven in Morganton, GA, has died, might it be possible to turn it into a chimp sanctuary? Fabulous facility built to zoo standards.

I presume by Lewis you mean The Honorable Congressman John Lewis. Be nice if you say so!

I would rather the victim's occupation be kept out of the news than the crime location, i.e. I don't care where you work but I care very much if a crime has been committed near me.

Oops someone left the door open & my dog ran away ... We're you looking for the dog; did you even know it was gone? How irresponsible can you get!

I read that Affleck has added a statement to the credits at the beginning that highlights the Canadian Ambassador's contribution and thanks him. If he wins an Oscar, it will be for his own work as a filmmaker. He doesn't need to be told what to say or who to thank.

Everyone should know there is an emergency shut-off button under the handrail at the bottom of escalators.

After Crocs shoes became so popular for children there were warnings about their rubbery material being easily caught by escalators & feet mangled because, unlike flip-flops, Crocs have a strap around the heel.

"when her SUV plowed into a car and killed a woman"

No, when SHE plowed her SUV into a car and killed a woman.

Good choice. He will do a good job.

Yet he can get to a beach in a hurricane and film weather reports while being blown off his feet ....

“He’s a watcher. He sees things that other kids and people don’t,” Cynthia Camp said.

Then he is well on the way to being a writer.
Congratulations & good luck in the district bee.

@Joe Johnson: Thanks.

Childers-Queen was arrested on charges of first-degree arson and first-degree criminal damage to a business.

What "business" ?

If this problem had not existed for so many years, all over ACC, no ordinance would have been necessary. Thank goodness homeowners now have some recourse -- I used to knock on my party neighbor's door and get him up every morning at my appointed time of departure for school and work. About the 3rd time when he chewed me out, I smiled and said, "Backatcha, Buddy!"

Reasoning in these situations usually does not work. Anyone who is reasonable cuts out their noise and does not repeat the offense.The majority want to party LOUD and that is all that matters to them. They absolutely do not care if their partying keeps the neighbors' new baby from sleeping, or robs school-age children and parents of all but a couple of hours of sleep. Nobody has a right to do that.

@grove600: Because the lives of both mother and child are at risk during childbirth.

IF (BIG "IF") the 'oops-I-didn't-know-the-gun-was-in-the-bag' story is true -- which I'm not buying because the gun was partially visible to TSA -- then he should be in bigger trouble for being so irresponsible as to own a gun and not have a clue about its location. How long had it been laying around his house in that bag, accessible to grandchildren, thieves, etc?

Not sure dropped and dismissed are interchangeable words in this context, because there is a plan of discipline for his actions.
