Tasha,
Congratulations on making the decision to enter the fray!!! I know, from having worked with you some in past elections that you are a superb candidate, a person of genuine integrity, that you will present a good healthy campaign for the people of Post 1, and that you will make a terrific commissioner.
I only wish I lived in post 1, but alas, Yorkville is a tad bit away from your jurisdiction...

bearbearsnanny,
Perhaps the very best way to settle that argument is to file suit, and let a JUDGE rule on the law, and let the Sheriff explain the actions of his department.
That way, the results of the suit would be public record, and provide more info for KB in the debate (I am assuming there will be a debate) (I know, I know, such an assumption has the possibility of things unmentionable, but isn't Mr. Harris expecting to at least make ONE appearance to the people of Paulding County?)
It will surely be interesting to see and follow the content of the debate:
KB: I'm for training, bringing the knowledge base of officers up to specific standards of the law enforcement industry.
BH: I'm a life-long resident of Paulding County.
KB: My officers will be held accountable for their actions after they have been trained properly.
BH: I've been sheriff for 11 years.
KB: I have a Masters Degree, am Assistant Chief of the City of Mariett Police Department, have training from the FBI academy, intend to provide the incentives for each officer of Paulding County to pursue advanced training ...
BH: I'm a life-long resident of Paulding County
KB: I will have the most professionally prepared staff of deputies in the state of Georgia, prepared for any situation they encounter.
BH: I've been sheriff for 11 years.
KB: I will put in place the most effective supervision of deputational staff possible.
BH: I'm a life-long resident of Paulding County.
KB: I will empower deputies to make traffic stops and work accidents.
BH: I've been sheriff for 11 years.
KB: I will not permit my campaign supporters to damage, destroy or remove the signage of my opponent.
BH: I'm a life-long resident of Paulding County....

Bubba,
I LIKE THAT THANG... course, I was born & bred in Texas. Lived 17 years 65 miles north of Austin... seems the size of that giddyup is about right... Course, here in Georgia, we'd have trouble parking it...
BP...
I propose a solution. Open up drilling in all states, off all shores. Those that want to prevent it, provide them with only imported oil, and let OPEC do it's thing. Let the rest of us have the domestic crude. There's plenty of it, and the Alaskans want to drill. It's their land, let them have a say. If all the Northeasterners and Sierra Clubbers want no drilling, let them cast votes over their own states, but let the rest of us do what we want. $.02

I OBJECT!!!
I THOROUGHLY OBJECT...
I THOROUGHLY AND COMPLETELY OBJECT...
This is an absolute insult to the dignity God gave to mankind when He did not require the first man to carry a drivers license, social security card, credit card, atm card, dog tags (for GI's), checkbook, or have his medical history, blood type, and DNA listed with every insurance company and check casher on the planet.
Some things were just meant to be kept private. Have you no shame??? Haven't you heard of the Family Rights and Privacy Act??? This is as bad as a man wearing short sox on a platform crossing his legs and having a two inch strip o' leg be completely NEKKID
. It's as bad as a woman with her slip showing... Are there no more secrets anywhere? Is there absolutely nothing we can hide in the closet without being exposed before the entire globe??? I mean, my neighbor might read this... or even his neighbor... his neighbor's cousin over in Dublin... Just think about all the people I can no longer snow... I mean this is just absolute gut wrenching, heart punding, red-faced, bust a blood vessel, hide your face in absolute shame embarrassment time... 
It's as bad as a man becoming bulbous bellied, balding, bespectacled, bifocaled, bellyachin' and ballooned with buffoonery by ballyhooin' the whole countryside with some gum bumpin' lamebrained yarn... Just like the one you're reading now!!!OK, OK, I know when I'm outnumbered. Never let it be said that I'm an obstructionist who wants to stop progress. (Well, some progress, anyhow).
Now, back to the original question... lemme see,... Well, first, I gotsta tell you about how agin' has snuck up on me. The first time I became aware of the fact that I was a gettin' older was when I was teaching a college class. I went down the role, and noticed a rather unusual name... one that I'd been across when I was in college myself... Bebe. It was an 18 year old girl. I asked her if she knew David and Candie. She said, yep, they're my parents. UNBELIEVABLE... I was not old enough to be teaching my classmates' babies college classes...
Then, when I was about 45, we were having a Sunday School Picnic. One of the events was a 50 yard dash... I thought about this, and my mind had perfect recall of how it was in high school and college when I ran track. 440 in 52 flat, 100 in the very low 10's, 880 in Denton at the Texas AAU Summer Games... I remembered exactly how it was to put on Blue & Gold, the spikes, back into the blocks, kneel down, come up hinney high, wait for the gun, explode out of the blocks, and perfect recall of how it felt to make those long strides, stay up on the toes, dig, dig, dig, dig, get in front of and stay in front of the competition all the way to the finish line. Then I snapped back to reality, as now I had a young black man 5 inches shorter, and 10 years my junior on my left, the starter saying, "On your marks, set, GO!!!" It was at that moment I came to the full realization my legs had alzheimer's. Never been so embarrassed in all my athletic competitions...
Then one day I came to the realization that I was closer to 60 than I was to 30... my knees almost buckled... I was too young and full of vim, vigor, vitality and vinegar to be that old...
Those were the good ole days... Now, I'm closer to 70 than I am to 40... Closer to 80 than to 30... Closer to 90 than to 20!!! I gotta stop... I can't do this any more...
Usually when someone gets so personal with me about my age, I just tell 'em "I'm young enough to enjoy life, and old enough to know better..."
OK, OK, I know when I'm whipped. I'm no glutton for punishment...
Like some other dignified individuals here, I'm about to celebrate the 39th anniversary of my 17th birthday in July... 1948 was a VERY GOOD YEAR!!!
OK, OK, OK, for those who either can't add, subtract or figure out Einstein's theory of relativity (you know, it depends on who you're related to), I am stretching the double nickle real hard.
OK, OK, OK, for those in Rio Lindo, I'm 55, almost 56. There... Now that you know my secret, do you feel better? Does it satisfy some deep voyueristic tendency you have to know things you're not supposed to?
What am I gonna do now? Every body knows...
I know... I'll just sing my song...
Everybody hates me,
Nobody loves me,
I'm gonna eat some worms.
OOshie wooshie gooshie ones,
Greasy, grimy, gooey ones,
I'm gonna eat some worms...
Mutilated monkey meat
Greasy grimy gopher guts...
And Me without my spoon!!!

Bubba,
What is that thang in your little picture below your name? I'm bulbous bellied, balding, bifocaled and going blind trying to figure it out... Is that a picture of a gas guzzler?

Ken,
Question 2 about the signs...
How many signs has your opponent had removed? If what we have here is an impartial, non-political sign gremlin who simply doesn't like political signage, then EVERYBODY should have a proportionate number missing.
If on the other hand the sign problem is only the problem of a single candidate to the proportion you have reflected, then what we have is a PARTISAN sign gremlin. In that case, EVERYBODY IN THIS COUNTY should be OUTRAGED at this patently illegal conduct, and try to catch the thief. Perhaps we could then play a little hanky panky with the legal system, become Saudis for a day or so, and CHOP OFF HIS HANDS!!!
Guarantee you the theft rate would drop dramatically. 
As a matter of fact, we might even find some of these signs reproducing... 
For the more ignorant reader, the Saudi bit is the implementation of a literary device called hyperbole... and for the reader in Rio Lindo, ITS A JOKE!!! ... well, sort of... HHHMMMMM.... I wonder.... Now that I think about it.... How could we work this out... HHHMMMMM... I'd have to sharpen my trusty ole axe... got a good stump... could this be classed as a black op?.... HHHHMMMMMMMMM...NO to black op... high noon... courthouse square... PA system announcement... thousands gather... crowd cheers... Pcom coverage... WHUMP... AJC Headlines... Paulding theft rate almost nonexistent...
By the way, I want a sign for my yard. I've had enough of the backroom, back door, slimmy side of politics in this county. (I remember what happened to Ronnie Sibley twice) and I've had enough of it.
-
Ken,
Just a question...
I'm hearing a lot of talk about signs for your campaign disappearing. Do you have any facts available to shed light on
- Whether there IS a problem with political signs disappearing
- How large the problem is

Pub,
Thanx, but I really think it's a bit more than luck. I think it's partly a result of serving the Lord to the best of my ability. I could go on and on about some of the difficult things that have happened to us (some recently) as a result of trying to do some things that while not very monitarily rewarding, have seemed to be the direction the Lord wanted us to go.
I believe the Lord rewards obedience. Pure and simple. For some time, I've been involved in a couple of things (which I'll keep to myself, as I'm not looking for any sympathy at all) which I have felt drawn to, and which are very much needed, but are not very monitarily rewarding.
For years, I have loved baseball. Probably more because as a sick kid I was too small and thin to play football until college, but I could throw, run, field and bat. Later, I was able to play fast pitch softball on a semi-pro level for a couple of years, and have loved the games.
My daughter and her husband were in Dalton doing some shopping for their anniversary gifts to each other this past weekend. They went into a shop that had a DJ working there. He asked them if they liked the Braves, put them on the air, and asked them if they would like a couple of tickets to a Braves game. Of course, they accepted them. They were for tonight's game. After they left, they talked, and realized they could not attend. Daryl is a deputy sheriff on duty tonight, and they lives in Ellijay--too far for Christina to feel comfortable enough to come for the game. So... they called us, knowing that her MOM is the Braves fan of the family. They asked us if we'd like to go, and of course, we accepted. We met them in Cartersville Saturday evening, got the tix, and came home.
The last couple of days, we watched the weather. Then this afternoon, on Hwy 41, we began to think this game may not happen. It rained cats, dogs, mice, squirrels, birds, chickens, sheep, cattle, horses, who knows, maybe even elephants... We were concerned that the game might get rained out. I just kept going, however, feeling this was somehow something worth trying.
When we got close to the stadium, it had not rained at all. We got into the game, and the rest is history.
Now, what's the point? I think with all the crooks and turns (and I've only shared a few of them, some are rather personal), this was more than just some circumstancial event. God knows things I enjoy, and here, through almost no effort of my own, I find myself in something that is beyond my wildest dreams. Just think about the statistical anomaly here. 26 teams @ 162 games each for 20+ years, and 20 teams @ 154 games for the remainder of almost 100 years, and of all those games, only 15 were perfect games. A perfect game is a pitcher's game, not a batter's game. How remote is the probability of someone who loves pitching going to see a perfect game? When I look at the numbers, I say, not in my lifetime, as I've only been to about a half dozen MLB games.
Luck? The steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord... I don't think it can be both. The blessing of the Lord maketh rich and He addeth no sorrow with it... HMMM

I attended the most incredible sporting event of my life tonight. I witnessed 41 year old 6'10" Randy Johnson pitch a perfect game. Only the 15th perfect game of the modern baseball era!!!
As the eighth inning went on, the Turner Field crowd began to applaud Johnson for each out by their home team. In the ninth inning the respectful response continued, with fans rising to their feet and cheering every pitch. With every strike on the last two batters, the crowd let out a deafening roar. Quite amazing, considering the game was in Atlanta, and Johnson pitched for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Since I pitched a little in high school, I've followed pitchers for some time. I loved watching Greg Maddox work. He was masterful in his control and placement of the ball. Smoltz was simply overpowering with his speed. Randy Johnson, at 6'10" has been an overpowering pitcher, too, winning 4 Cy Young awards consecutively. I wish each of you could have been there. Baseball history was made tonight in Atlanta, and I was there to see it happen. Will there ever be another over 40 pitcher to do this? Who knows, but Johnson proved it can be done. It's not all the 20 somethings that are setting athletic standards...

Fasn8nmom,
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THESE KIDS TO DO? They have Brittany, Carmen, Christina, J Lo for their heroines and models. Everything they see to model themselves after either is naked, intertwined with the opposite sex, drooling over the opposite sex, focusing on cleavage, talking about humpin' it last night, fighting to gain the visual attention of the hunk of the minute, figuring out how to increase cup size, concentrating on either pushing up or lifting and separating, wearing form fitting see through peek-a-boo stuff, focusing more on the itsy bitsy teeny weeny part of the bikini, writhing in an orgasmic gasp, plotting to seduce an icon, swapping partners, becoming community property, or advertising her wares. The media elite philosophy for women is a direct descendent of the old Braniff Airlines mantra: "If you got it, flaunt it!!!" Another modern mantra: If it ain't nude it's prude... Any more the only qualification for marriage is loads of experience below the belt. I can remember a day when those same attributes were regarded as virtual disqualification for marriage -- there was actually a fear among men of catching some dastardly disease that was only hinted at, but never directly spoken of. Some people actually valued another part of the female anatomy -- the BRAIN. That passe logic, however has gone the way of other character traits, like integrity, compassion, and companionship. Love today has degenerated to the viewing, fondling, tickling, wiggling of body parts.
How does this happen? Think about what these kids see!!! HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc., have become common fare. I had occasion to be in a teen boy's bedroom (inspection) recently. Plastered all over the wall over the bed was this 36" x 48" picture of Carmen Electra, at the beach from behind, bent over, spread eagled in a thong with her string top untied. What you couldn't see wasn't there. Mom displayed no sense of shame. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THE KIDS TO DO???
When the house is loaded with porn rags, the TV emits porn, the computer downloads porn, the music has porn visuals and sexual lyrics, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THE KIDS TO DO????? When mom goes through the town with hot pants three sizes too small and see thru halters, reads steamy trash novels, invites her new boytoy home for overnight, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THE GIRLS TO DO???
When teachers have never seen the word modesty, cannot understand the concept, practice everything but prudent self respect, slither all over the opposite gender, assume seductive poses, utter suggestive invitations, can't control their own genetalia, and hand out condoms, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THE KIDS TO DO???
THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE... Kids emulate what they see. Many kids today are having their first sexual experiences long before they escape puberty. For many kids the only way they know to relate to the opposite sex is via what's underneath the undergarments.
What does it take to change from being one of the top 10 counties in the nation for teen pregnancy? ADULTS WHO WILL GET BEYOND PUBERTY.

I got to meet a very likeable up and coming politician tonight... I got to ask him several pointed questions... I got to ask him follow-ups... I got answers... I learned enough I want to know more about this man...
He surprised me (pleasantly) with his answers...
If you weren't there...
You Missed Out!!!!!
Thanks to Mason Roundtree for his candor.
Thanks to Publisher for providing this opportunity.
I just enjoyed the daylights outta my ole self...

Since it is a pretty well established fact that Yorkville is the "red-headed step-child" of this county, I'd like to ask each of the candidates for Sheriff what their agenda's are for Yorkville... What are your thoughts about a station on the west side of the county? What do you propose to decrease response times to this side of the county?
I've also heard some generalized comments about professionalism, training, etc. How does this tool out in the design/redesign of the PCSO?
Question for Bruce Harris: Why is it that only the signs for Republican candidates (Ken Ball this year, Ronnie Sibley previous 2 elections) disappear but yours remain intact? Do you think you should be held responsible for the actions of your "good ole' boys" behavior?
-
Gentlemen, Gentlemen,
Just a itsy bitsy point about Roberts Rules... As long as an action goes uncontested in the meeting... it stands!!! The way I'm reading what you two are debating, no point of order was raised -- IN THE MEETING -- PRIOR TO ADJOURNMENT... (caps are for clarity, not meant to be yelling in print)... opportunity for discussion is therefore --- how can I say this... out of order, but by virtue of being uncontested during the meeting, acceptable...
Now, I've only caught snatches of what actually happened, but by the facts presented, that's the picture I got...
My understanding is that this applies to PROCEDURAL motions, but NOT to matters relating to constitutions or bylaws of an organization...
Feedback, please!!!

Doreen,
As a newbie, I didn't realize the history. I just found this site last week, and decided to jump in with both feet. Guess I kinda missed and got 'em in my mouth instead!!! You know the old saw: Open mouth, insert foot, chew vigorously, switch feet, complete chewing and swallow hard.
I appreciate your welcome, and gentleness in letting me know the history.
Now, as to the above directions, let me switch feet and try another one a very good friend sent me some time ago...
BLONDE WINS CONTEST
A blonde goes into a coffee shop and notices there's a "Peel and Win"
sticker on her coffee cup. So she peels it off and starts screaming: "I've
won a motor home! I've won a motor home!"
The waitress says, "That's impossible. The biggest prize is a free lunch."
But the blonde keeps screaming, "I've won a motor home! I've won a motor
home!"
Finally the manager comes over and says, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but you're
mistaken. You couldn't possibly have won a motor home because we didn't have
that as a prize!"
The blonde says, "No it's not a mistake. I've won a motor home!" She hands
the ticket to the manager and he reads..
(You're gonna love this)

Here's another one for those affable, baffleable blondes!
A blonde was speeding, and stopped by a blonde officer.
The officer stepped to the car and asked for her proof of insurance and license.
The blonde driver responds by asking what the license looks like.
The blonde officer says that it's the thingy with your face on it.
The blonde driver searches through her purse, throwing out items one at at time until she comes to her compact. She opens it, looks carefully, and hands it to the blonde officer.
The blonde officer takes the compact, looks carefully, and handing it back to the blonde driver says, "Why didn't you just tell me you were a cop?"

Dave,
Congratulations on the decision to enter the campaign. Your background is very interesting, particularly the family connections to education.
Could you point out some of the ways that familiarity with public education will help you serve the students, faculty and administration of Paulding County?
What is your opinion of IDEA, and the flood of paperwork it has deluged teachers with? What kinds of solutions to the paperwork dilemma would you propose in order to bring teachers back into instructional mode, rather than preoccupation with the paper crunch?
