Voter, you act like Mr. Williams is the lowly mail room guy. Nice try, but he IS a political figure. More often, these things don't make the headlines. He, like most Canadians, know what a crap healthcare system they've got. Very similar to Obamacare. Though, I'm not sure how much Canada punishes their citizens when they can't afford it.

Barnsley Gardens Resort General Manager Scott Mahr was named an outstanding general manager by the Georgia Hotel & Lodging Association during the group’s annual Stars of the Lodging Industry Awards recently.

“It is such an honor for me to win this prestigious award,” said Mahr. “I have been working at Barnsley Gardens Resort since the property was being converted into a resort, and I am excited to be a part of such a special place.”

Mahr joined Barnsley Gardens Resort in 1999 and served as the resort’s golf pro. He worked his way to assistant general manager, and in 2005 he was promoted to general manager.

Under Mahr’s direction, the resort’s revenue has continued to grow. Last year, Barnsley Gardens Resort was able to increase its leisure business by 19 percent.

Mahr is also very active within the golf community, serving as a member of both the PGA of America and the Georgia PGA. His other current board positions include the Georgia Hotel & Lodging Association, Cartersville/Bartow County CVB and Advance Adairsville.
