    Decatur Cited For Its Conflict Resolution

    Decatur Metro | October 30, 2008

    This shout-out in a Kittery Point, ME article is kinda funny…

    While asking for ideas and specific issues from all involved, Abercrombie also gave examples of what he called “classic mistakes” residents and town officials make, such as not trusting the town’s process or assuming that a small number of residents turning out for a meeting means the citizenry at large is happy.

    Abercrombie also said that some conflict can be a good thing. As an example, he spoke of a number of divisive projects in the town of Decatur, Ga., where residents brought energy and passion based on their individual viewpoints and eventually poured that same energy into improving the community.

    Sometimes in the midst of these conflicts, its easy to lose sight of previous accomplishments.

    Moey Goes Global

    Decatur Metro | October 30, 2008

    Since first being featured on Decatur Metro, human candy voting booth, Moey, has become a Halloween sensation.  First it was a feature spread in AccessAtlanta; now his mom Mindy (a.k.a “altmod”) directs us back to candyvote.com, where there are links to interviews Moey has done with both XM Satellite Radio POTUS ’08 and XM Kids. (He’s one smart cookie!)

    If that wasn’t enough, there’s even talk that 11Alive might cover Moey’s canvasing of Ponce Heights on Halloween night AND a potential segment on CNN Headline News.

    We’ll keep you updated!

    Oh…and let me throw one more humorous, “I’m so clever!” costume suggestion on the pile:  Have a 6 hour line of voters trail along behind him…sort of like those Verizon network commercials.
