Oconee Blotter
The Oconee County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:

Editorial: Police shouldn't be overconfident behind wheel

The Editor's Desk
► KATRINA PLUS 5: In recent days, cable new outlets and other media have been taking a look back at Hurricane Katrina, which decimated a wide swath of the Gulf Coast and drowned New Orleans five years ago.

Harrop: 'Mad Men' set in a saner time
"Mad Men" just won its third Emmy for "outstanding drama." If there were a gold statue for "best nostalgic portrayal," the AMC series would have walked off with that one, too.
