Election
Once again, the issues in this
campaign do not lie in any
opposing views the candidates
may have—neither of the two
have strikingly different views
on the major concerns facing the
city, i e. city-county consolida
tion. the historic preservation
ordinance, and the possibility of
a private firm taking over the
sanitation services.
Rather, the issue in this race
appears to be. as Denson said,
“who will do the better job.”
with an emphasis on the time
each candidate is able to devote
to the position.
Craft received an undergrad
uate degree in science and
physical education from Fast
Carolina, and then his masters
from the University of Georgia
He has been with the Clarke
County School District for 17
years, and is currently the
Director of Pupil Transporta
tion. He is married, and has two
children.
Denson attended Memphis
Stale University in the pre-law
program. She is a member of
the Forest Heights (subdivision)
Board of Directors, and recently
received appointment as the
fifth ward’s representative on
(lie Clarke County Democratic
Committee. She is sell em
ployed in clothing alterations,
and. until recently, had kepi the
books tor a local business for the
past IS years. She is married
and has two children.
Craft says that he has “ample
time" to be a council member.
“I definitely have enough
lime." Craft said. This is a
policy making body, and it only
meets once a month. It is not an
everyday job. though many
people seem to think it ii.”
dispute, which she was actively
involved in. was the catalyst for
her candidacy.
Denson feels her opponent
"is not as effective as he
possibly could be. I have more
time to devote to it (the council).
I am running because I think I
can do a good job. and I want to
contribute something to Ath
ens."
She added. "I think I’ll be
more open to the constituents. 1
have nothing against my oppon
ent. but I think I can do a better
Bryan Craft
He added. “1 am working tor
the people of the fifth ward. I
ha\c always done the wishes of
the people, even in Forest
Heights"
A Forest Heights zoning
controversy arose from the
proposed construction of a pro
fessional complex in that neigh
borhood. a proposal which met
with strong opposition from the
residents.
Though Denson said she
would not run on just one issue,
she admitted that the zoning
job."
The Democrat also feels that,
being a woman, she can bring
things to the council that it has
never had before, since a
woman has never served on the
council. "I can bring a family
viewpoint." she said.
On the issue of consolidation.
Craft said he is “for it definite
ly." He is not sure how the
governments will merge, hut “it
should take place by annexation
(of Clarke County) first of all."

have pointed to the cost savings,
Craft said "it will not save
money right off. but I'm in favor
of it because it will in the long
run. We will receive better
services right away, but wc will
not save money the first year."
Denson favors consolidation
because of the dollar savings,
“it will use the least amount of
money for the best services."
she said. Denson also favors the
merger because "too much time
and energy are spent by the city
and county bickering over who
oavs what."
Like Craft. Denson believes
annexation is the next step,
though the possibility of a
charter passed by the voters
has occurred to her. "We have
gone as far as wc can on the
bit-by-bit basis," she said.
While Craft favors historic
preservation, he said he would
vote ‘no’ on the current ordin
ance. "I don't like another
government agency," he said.
"If the body was elected by the
people, then it might be okay;
but this way (appointment by
mayor and council), the board
would have no one to answer
to."
Denson is "definitely in favor
of historic preservation.”
though she thinks any such
ordinance should have very
practical applications to save the
unique and historic. Although
she believes the intent of the
ordinance is good. "I'm not sure
it's the right vehicle. It has
problems; it could infringe too
much on property owner’s
rights."
She feels that local residents
want to save historic sites, but
that they resent being told what
they could or could not do.
Instead. Denson favors a possi
ble ordinance to current zoning
laws over the ordinance present
ly proposed.
Craft said he would much
rather the city continue control
over the sanitation services, but
if the study proves a significant
savings for the city by contract
ing the job to a private firm,
then Craft said "I would lean
towards that.”
Denson is very against the
sanitation proposal. "If a pri
vate vendor could do it better
than the city, then something is
wrong with the way the city is
running it." she said. "The city,
as a non-profit organizaton,
ought to be able to run it as
cheaply and as well as a private
vendor who is making a profit."
The fifth ward is bounded by
Broad Street. Prince Avenue,
the Eastern Seaboard Rail lines
and the Middle Oconee River.
[ and includes Cobbham. Bishop
Park, and the Navy School. The
1 ward has 3132 registered voters
The polling station for the fifth
ward is at the Bishop Park gym.

PATTERSON
From p. 1
McGill believed "every man
you'll ever meet is bearing some
kind of cross. He seemed to
have taken as his private vow to
stand for all of them—as a rock
a weary land." Patterson
said.
The capacity audience of
more than 300 included former
McGill associates. McGill's wi
dow Mary Lynn McGill, and a
mixture of journalism students
and faculty.
McGill "loved the South
enough to get angry at its
failings, yet sing its songs...He
loved it enough to stand almost
alor.e against his detractors."
About the South. Patterson
said McGill "loved it. did not
admire it and wanted to change
it."
Segregation. McGill wrote, is
"estrangement. It is withdrawal
from humanity.
"Not only politicians felt his
lash; he took on the business
establishment, took on the
church,” Patterson said.
"Christianity cannot afford to
be on the wrong side of a moral
force." Patterson said quoting
McGill.
McGill w as a maverick among
editors at a time when “a
shocking number of Southern
newspapers have failed in the
responsibility to reveal a region
to itself." Patterson said.
Patterson said he hoped the
new generation of journalists
recognizes "the coinage and the
bravery that it took for him to
speak his truth.
"He taught us courage; a
great wrong waited to be
righted in his native land and he
went forward to meet it.”
Patterson said McGill "hand
ed down to us his own battlc-
tested weapon...the simple
power of unarmed truth.”
From p. I
The profession is demanding,
mentally and physically.
"It takes so much energy, so
much effort ..there are too
many sleepless nights, colds,
sunburns It begins to take its
toll It has probably already
taken five years off my life,"
Teske said.
And it is the day-to-day grind
too
"If I am not super-hyped for
rehearsal, things don’t go well.
I have to make them forget
their pain. I have to get them
so mad at me they forget the
pain," the coach said "And
-BAND
the hardest thing is to get
hyped every day for three
months (during marching sea
son).”
It’s a "grueling, militaristic,
dictatorial approach,” Teske
said. "I think you have to be a
dictator.”
He is an extraordinary
person; full of life, full of
enthusiasm and, perhaps, even
just the tiniest bit conceited.
Yet to want to see something
as enormous as the Redcoat
Band locomote through its
maneuvers to perfection takes a
special person
“The band is my life.”
The band is his life.
