STAFF REPORT
Grayson Cohen was commended for his Arbor Day artistry last week as the Blackburn Elementary School fifth-grader took first place in the Georgia Forestry Commission's Arbor Day poster contest.
“Out of 2,024 [entries] they rated the number one art work right here,” said District Forester Ken Masten. Cohen spent more than a week crafting his intricate, colored-pencil drawing of a tree.
As a result, he beat out students from 40 other schools as he claimed a $100 savings bond and the chance to compete on a national level. Pictured are, from left, Masten, Grayson and Lumpkin County Chief Ranger Kris Butler. See also, Arbor Day Plantings on Page 1B. (Staff photo/MATT AIKEN)

For example, if Mr. Fill-in-the-Blank says something you don't agree with, don't tell the world that Mr. Fill-in-the-Blank is a no good dirty scoundrel who cuts off people in traffic and has owed you $20 since 1997. The Nugget asks you to please just stick to the issues at hand. That way we'll keep the debate lively, without getting personal.
