DIRT: Fight

ties to the University.
“The University has not
contacted us about taking
it back, and we don’t want
them to take it back," Hill
said. “I do know that their
project has to have some
dirt hauled back in, but it
will not be this dirt.
Brasfield & Gorrie nor the
University of Georgia have
anything to do with this
whatsoever on any level,
and that needs to be
clear."
Hill said before he began
to stockpile the dirt, he
spoke with Athens-Clarke
County staff to make sure
of the legality of the proj
ect, and he said he has
complied with everything
the county staff has asked
him to do.
“We’ve met with Athens-
Clarke County inspectors
and officials a number of
times just to make sure
that we continue to do
things correctly,” Hill said.
"We’ve been here for any
neighbor who has wanted
to speak with us about it.”
According to county
staff, the disturbed area is
0.94 acres, which is under
the one acre threshold
required for Hill to get a
land disturbance permit.
“Clarke County staff is
monitoring this on a daily
basis, and hopefully, we’ll
be able to work something
out that will help the
neighbors and get this
resolved." said Mike
Hamby, Athens-Clarke
County Commissioner. “We
want for all parties to be
aware of what’s going on,
and we want to make sure
that we’re clear of the
intent of the person who

“I’m not totally pleased

Under the Athens ordi
nance, Hill must file the
appropriate plans and
drawings to get a permit.
Hill said he will submit the
plans to the county soon.
“After we get plans
reviewed and get financing
in place, we’ll take the dirt
and spread it out and build
some homes,” Hill said. “I
don’t have an exact time
line on that, so it’s just kind
of whenever it works out.”
Roskie said without that
documentation, he is not
eligible for the exemption,
and the county staff do not
have the power to waive
the requirements for the
exemption.
“In order to get permis
sion to do a single-family
residential development,
you have to file a plan with
the county showing what
you’re going to do, and Mr.
Hill hasn’t done that,"
Roskie said.

College comes early for one
By RAISA HABERSHAM
The Red & Buck
Michael Smith always
wanted to be a Bulldog.
But unlike most of his
peers, he gets to see that
dream come true early.
‘T’ve known since I was
little I wanted to go to
UGA," he said. “And I
knew that if I got in for
joint enrollment, I would
be able to go ahead and
be over there and around
the people I want be
around.”
Smith is one of 20 joint
enrollment students at
the University. Students
are considered jointly
enrolled if they are taking
high school and college
courses at the same time.
Smith, a senior at
Oconee County High
School, said he had a
choice between psycholo
gy and sociology when he
pursued joint enrollment.
“I was looking for some
thing that would fill class
es I would need for any
major,” he said.
“Psychology just fit the
time frame the best.”
Patrick Winter, senior
associate director of admis
sions, said such students
don’t have a great effect on
the registration process for
normal students.
“Joint enrolled students
are such a small number
of the total undergraduate
enrollment at UGA that
the impact on registration
abilities for full-time stu
dents is negligible,” Winter
said.
As both a University
student and a high school
student, Smith’s routine is
a bit hectic.
He starts his day with
British literature and AP
Calculus. At 11:30 a.m. on
Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, he leaves school
to head home and eat a 15
minute lunch before going
to the University for ele
mentary psychology at
CRIME NOTEBOOK
Who let the dogs out?
One Athens resident
narrowly escaped landing
behind bars Thursday, but
not in a jail cell in the
dog pound.
A University employee
reported he was bitten by
a dog while jogging near
the Intramural Fields on
April 7.
“This guy ran up behind
me and my roommate,”
the dog’s owner, Nicolette
Pappas, said. “My dog
jumped up on him.”
Although the offender,
later identified as Bella,
was on a leash at the time
of the incident, she was
still able to cause scratch
es and puncture wounds
to the victim. No medical
treatment was needed.
“I definitely feel bad
about it,” Pappas said. “I
was just surprised because
we have never seen that
behavior in her before.”

▲ Michael Smith, a high school senior, takes
class at the University to gain experience and
credit hours before enrolling full time next fail.
12:15. After class, Smith
heads back over to his
high school to take his
final class of the day, AP
Government.
On Tuesdays and
Thursdays, Smith doesn’t
have class at the
University, so he takes
time to help his mom out
around the house or do
homework for class.
Smith said he became
interested in joint enroll
ment after a friend told
him about the program.
“One of my friends was
doing it and I thought it
may interest me,” he said.
“So, I talked to my mom
and my counselor about
it.”
Smith, who was recent
ly accepted into the
University as a sports
management major, said
he’s enjoying the psychol
ogy class since it offers
something different from
high school courses.

was arrested and charged
with DUI, underage pos
session of alcohol and fail
ure to maintain lane at
2:32 a m. on April 8.
Hebb was arrested
after an officer observed
his vehicle accelerate
quickly, then cross over a
solid white line with both
passenger side tires,
according to the University
Police report.
When asked why he
accelerated quickly, Hebb
reportedly told police he
was trying to “impress”
the girl he was with.
Field sobriety tests led
police to conclude he was
over the legal limit.
He was placed under
arrest and transported to
the University Police
Department, where he
submitted two breath
samples which registered
BAC’s of .117 and .121.

and social psychology,” he
said. “How we learn and
how we sleep affects us,
and it’s something we
might not be presented
with in high school. So, it’s
not like I’m learning the
same thing over and over
again.”
Smith pays for his
courses through the Accel
Program. The program,
which is non-needs based,
allows joint enrolled stu
dents to use their HOPE
hours to pay for college
courses. The students can
renew their credit hours
later so that they start off
with 127 credit hours when
they become full time stu
dents.
Smith said taking class
es at the University would
let him experience life as a
full time student.
“I like to stay busy,” he
said. “There was some
thing I learned in psychol
ogy that you always
perform better when
you’re really busy."
EXTORTION:
Policies
changed
► From Page 3
“Now, job rotation for
employees working on the
[Digital Millennium
Copyright Act] notification
process occurs on a daily
basis,” he wrote, “and
notices are audited by the
Assistant Director for
Information Security on a
weekly basis. The goal of
these measures is to deter
or rapidly detect any
employee malfeasance.”
Still, old policies remain.
“The University’s poli
cies and the DMCA notifi
cation process have not
changed,” he wrote. “The
DMCA notification process
has always been one of the
most monitored IT pro
cesses within the
University.”
And similar incidents
should not be a problem in
the future.
“Dehelean’s attempted
extortion was thwarted by
the University’s police
department and he was
arrested,” Rivers said. “I’m
confident in the University’s
ability to protect students
from this sort of criminal
behavior.”
