ELECTION ROUNDUP
Talk about close!
Less than 20 votes separated the second-place and third-place finishers in
Tuesday’s Georgia House of Representatives District 141 race.
Democrat Darrell Black had received 1,286 votes, while Republican Angie
Gheesling held 1,270. Election officials only had four more votes to certify
(three provisionals and one overseas ballot), meaning that it’d be
mathematically impossible for Gheesling to overtake Black.
Black now will take on independent Rusty Kidd in a Dec. 1 run-off. Kidd
nearly won the

Sign-up slow for City's new "super-fast wireless internet service"
More than a month has passed since a new “super fast mobile internet
service” debuted in Milledgeville.
To date, however, the response from potential customers has been fairly
slow. A few dozen people signed up for service during October, according to
John Moore, owner of IT Systems on Garrett Way. IT Systems is the company

OPINION: Deep Roots Festival could use more variety, become more interactive
Saturday’s Deep Roots Festival was another success.
Things were well-organized and orderly. The weather cooperated. Downtown
merchants saw a spike in sales. Everyone behaved themselves, for the most
part.
Organizing the Deep Roots Festival is a fairly large ordeal and a year-round
process. The festival’s organizers should be commended and applauded.
Deep Roots shows off Milledgeville at its very best – charming, diverse and
full of hospitality. It’s difficult to find people who will criticize the Deep

New GMC prep facility should sparkle
By this time next year, students and faculty at Georgia Military College prep
should have a brand new home.
Construction is continuing at a brisk pace around GMC’s new prep school

Shop near the courthouse.
Some are framed, while others hang by an old piece of Scotch tape. Included
is an autographed photo of George W. Bush, several Charlton Hestons and a
poster claiming that GUN CONTROL MEANS USING TWO HANDS. One item,
however, stands above the others in the heart and mind of Bobby Mercer.
The story begins one day earlier this month when Mercer walked inside his
house. On the kitchen table sat a UPS package. Mercer opened the

First female football coach leads Gators to perfect season
How often do you hear football coaches refer to their players as "my babies?"
"Ooh! They’re double-teaming my baby!"
"My baby blew up that bootleg play!"
"My babies are playing some good football tonight!"
Well, you’d probably have to ask members of the Gunby Enterprises Gators, a
team in the 7-8-year-old league at Walter B. Williams Jr. Park. The Gators are
coached by Evony Rhodes, who is the first female head football coach in the
park’s history. This season, Rhodes has outcoached all of the men, leading
