2 Tuesday, November a, aoio | The Red a Buck STREET: Locals want help ► From Pago t "You’re supposed to tty to help the community instead of throwing them in here and locking the gate,” Baugh said. “[University students are] just trying to have a good time. Game night, they scared. They can’t even walk past.” Baugh said the community has yet to receive help from govern ment agencies. “Y’all need to come out and see the families,” he said. “And see how they living and see if the kids are OK and see this and see that. That’s how you do it the right way. But they don’t even care. I’m say ing there’s not a soul out there who cares.” Baugh said he could fill a book with everything he has experienced while “trapped” in this toxic envi ronment with his two sons. “People be out here with the drug thing at night,” he said. "Smokin’ pot, or doin’ this or that, poppin’ pills, shootin'. And the kids be around like it’s a wrestling match or something... If your kids around stuff and seeing stuff like that every day, they can’t help but to grow up and being like this.” Since January, Hickman Drive has been the site of 30 theft-related cases, 23 batteries, 20 assaults and one manslaughter. VOTE: Candidates all have University ties ► From Page 1 involved and government should welcome their involvement. Students should be included in developing the Downtown Master Plan. Actually, I think we ought to make the UGA School of Environmental Design our part ner in its development. Students can help develop more respectful and effective methods of dealing with underage drinking and downtown problems. Why can’t we combine our resources and make more and more of Athens a teaching opportunity? Do you have any affiliation with the University? Nancy Denson: I am a Bulldog, BBA 1989. My husband and old est daughter also are UGA alum ni. Spencer Frye: I came to school here in 1986 as a student in the Terry College of Business. My goal was to become an inter national businessman.

Greene said additional downtown bike officers have been told to sur vey the area periodically. Bethel Midtown Village property management has also taken steps to improve neighborhood life. “The most recent thing is they have put up cameras,” Greene said. “Some stuff they don’t pick up well, but the fact that they’re out there has a deterring effect.” Management has also installed a gate which is intended to keep unwanted visitors out. Baugh said, however, some peo ple simply ram the gate open. The most promising improve ments may not be in the neighbor hood at all, but in the residents. Marissa Joyner, a member of the residence association board, said they have implemented programs to “help better the individuals,” not necessarily the neighborhood. These include after-school tutor ing, life skills classes and a GED program which enrolls 12 residents, according to Joyner. “Without an education you will be stuck in a neighborhood like this,” she said. “[We want] to help educate so they can move on and do something productive with their lives.” in Haiti with the full intention of graduating.

I and some friends from Russell Hall spent the whole day sledding down Baxter hill on giant sheet pans. You could ride down that hill for what seemed to be forever before you slowed down almost to Lumpkin. Another time when they tore down Stegman Pool where the Tate Center parking lot is now I asked the contractor if I could have bricks from the build ing rather than throwing them in the dumpster. Charlie Maddox: Being a mem ber of the first Black Student Union before it became a recog nized organization on campus. Glenn Stegall: I remember my first football game between the hedges freshman year. The feeling of 90,000 people screaming around you is one of a kind. The fighter jet that flies over before kickoff adds to the energy of the crowd. I don’t think anyone could forget their first Georgia football game.

The Oconee Street building, which sits close to Steeplechase Apartments and the stee ple from St. Mary’s Episcopal Church where R.E.M. played its first con cert in 1980, caught fire around 4 a.m. The fire was almost completely extin guished about 45 minutes later with no reported inju ries, Ford told The Red & Black Monday. Ford also said he is “analyzing all the informa tion [they] gathered before coming to a conclusion” as to the cause of the fire. Although it’s too early in the investigation to tell, Ford said these kinds of fires are often caused by the homeless using the building for shelter. Heating elements used to keep warm or candles for lighting could all be the culprit. A parked car’s wind shield, which was hit by falling debris, was the only damage to surrounding property, according to Ford. Felony theft reported in Ramsey A University student told police he had $650 worth of items stolen from him in the Ramsey Center on Oct. 26 at 4 p.m. The student reported he left a gym bag against the wall while he played basketball in the Ramesy Center. He later discovered his wallet and iPhone missing. According to the University Police report, Ramsey staff said they will provide security footage to police as they investigate the theft. —Compiled by Jacob Demmitt CORRECTIONS A photo outline in the Tuesday, Oct. 26 issue of The Red & Black incorrectly said the baseball player in the picture is Colby May.
