Across the area

The watering restrictions are still on and still can't water till after midnight till ten a.m? When, I ask do they expect me to get my beauty sleep? huh? At this rate I'll just have to pray for a coma!

formatrix, if you need to water your lawn, I can't help you there, but if it is a garden or a group of plants, write to me @ DeborahElliott@Live.com

Shot while in a South Augusta trailer park. Now there's a story you don't read every day, unless you read the paper every day.

More than likely booze and or drugs coupled with no anger management leads to entertainment of the masses...Fortunately the person who was shot will be just fine...

As for the baseball bat incident....Welcome to Football Season in Augusta !!!!

I agree, it sounds as if the football season is off to a great start...I am sure the antics will be on the field as well, like last year. Just look at the "professional" football players they are highly paid thugs...

Hello,football fans!!!!!!Looks like some people are still not ready for baseball season to end.LoL.Can't we all just get along?

Couldn't confirm that any shots had been fired? Sounds like what I used to get on the police reports. Bullet in the wall, pellet on the bare cement in front of the broken window, pellets in the house from the other broken window panes, but reports say unknown means. ???? The guy was shot, what other confirmation do you need that at least one shot was fired? Do you mean you couldn't confirm that it happened at that location? He heard what sounded like a gunshot and then saw blood coming from his leg. Sounds reasonable to me that he was shot! That's okay, though, I get it. In 30906, it seems to many citizens here that a victim often is thought to be guilty until proven innocent.

Sorry, kind of in a bad mood this morning. I'll feel better after I do some good deeds for the day.

christian, thats, "unfortunately", the person will be just fine!

I wonder what powerful pain killer Sirrico was on not to feel that he'd been shot? Must be good stuff amigo.

You got that right, hard!

I wonder if the baseball bat incident was a carry over from the 'signal 7' that happended after school let out on Friday?

Well this didn't happen on the grounds at Laney, I have yet to figure out why the chronicle reports always includes information like above, why do we need to know she's a student at Laney, if it didn't happen at Laney?. She should press charges I WOULD. Now the incident with the drugs at Cross Creek is different, WHY, because it happen on campus.

Someone needs to make sure people know that you CAN water your garden ad lib anytime. It's in the Columbia County ordinance. Apparently no one told the folks giving out warnings. I heard of a woman who received a warning and that's what she was told.

Anyone know about the break-in and robbery at Barbarito's last night?

uhmmmm jackfruit, maybe its becuase the scene was that of a high school scrimmage football game, to which she was a student of that school!!!!!!!!!! ya think???

The 2900 block of Glenn Hills Drive is NOT necessarily a trailer park. The witnesses might have been from the trailer park at the corner of Barton Chapel and Glenn Hills Drive, but the 2900 block is ON Glenn Hills Drive. There is a very large acreage private property between the middle school and the trailer park and across the street are brick homes, of various ages, including a relatively new subdivision, with very nice homes. There is one, maybe two very nicely landscaped trailers next to the older brick homes that the builders allowed to remain because they were grandfathered in. One or two trailers do not constitute a trailer park. Don't assume the victim lives in the trailer park. That is a very high traffic area, shots could have come from passing cars on Glenn Hills Drive and the victim could have been from one of those brick homes. I know people that lived on Glenn Hills Drive since the 60's to the present. They never had crime problems until about 10 years ago. So what has changed?

well 2969 Glen Hills Drive is emery operations. One of which may be a trailer park. seems to say that as the name there must be one over there or more than one or 2 trailers, or maybe thats one of his operations and he rents out one trailer for his business and one to a tenant and for tax purposes that is a different business name he runs under. Usually it seems company with the name operations or enterpise means they have all sorts of different sub businesses. I know a lot who do that.

And what changed... the class of people and all these gang members running around on the south side. I used to live close by and jogged through those neighborhoods all the time all along lumpkin all the way to golden camp with my uncle growing up now I wouldn't be jogging over there at all!! lol And no its not because blacks moved in so all those trying to say I am implying something can stuff it, it seems they have always been the majority or at least even in the glenn hills surrounding area. I think its because the class of people living there changed somehow. Would not suprise me if there was an increase in subsidized housing and renters. Not always, but things do not seem to get AS bad where majority are home owners. But thats just my opinion.

The trailer park is near the corner of Barton Chapel Road across the street from Breeze Hill Subdivision. The 2900 section of Glenn Hills Drive runs from Barton Chapel Road to Bobby Jones, ALL of which is either subdivision, brick homes, a large private property with the exception of one, maybe two at most small trailers on the Breeze Hill subdivision side of Glenn Hills Drive. The witnesses were from the trailer park. The victim was not described as being from the trailer park (even if he was). I'm just asking for posters not to assume the victim was in or from the trailer park. He could have lived anywhere on the 2900 block of Glenn Hills Drive which is made up of primarily single family homes, schools and churches all the way to Bobby Jones from Barton Chapel.

I live near where you used to start your run. For nearly a decade I used to live where you ended your run. I did my 4am walk to the rec center on Golden Camp one morning and some guy tried to pick me up! From then on I drove my car to the center. Until I got shot at, and it hit a friend of mine, thankfully it was only a BB that time. Then I decided it was time to exercise indoors. I am also very familiar with Glenn Hills, much more so than my recent homes. There are still people in the area who are professionals, full-time homemakers, blue collar workers, clerical, but there are also some people causing problems. I don't know which ones came from where. I really don't care, all I want is to have peace and quiet and law-abiding neighbors and I will do what it takes to get it. I like where I'm living now, but I don't know how long it will stay nice.

Yeah, that's the only reason.(sarcasm)
