Our offices will close Thursday and Friday to allow our employees to celebrate the

Thanksgiving holidays with their families. We wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving!

Brantley County attorney for 20 years Vince Settle presented the board of commissioners his letter of resignation at the board’s last meeting.

In a letter to the board Settle said that his resigna-tion will be effective Dec. 31 but that he would be will-ing to interview with the new commissioners if they requested that he do so.

He went on to say that he did not want his position to become a controversial matter for the new board, which may be likely because both remaining com-missioners, Linton Herrin and Charlie Summerlin, have voted previously to find a new attorney.

Commissioner Ernest Hunter re-quested that the board review the contract for county manager Chuck Madray to ensure he would stay in place for the next year with the new board. After meeting in executive session, the board took no action saying that Madray’s contract automatically renews at the end of each year for one year, unless the board determines otherwise.

Madray’s contract also states that if he were re-tained for 2009 he would receive a salary increase

Former member of airport advisory panel charged with molestation

A former member of the Brantley County airport advisory committee has been released on bond after he was arrested for child molestation.

Walter Charles Ingram, 57, reportedly did not ask to be reappointed to his post on the committee when it came up for grabs this year and was replaced, accord-ing to sources.

According to a report from the Brantley County Sheriff ’’s Office, the victim’s mother called in the report of child molestation Oct. 10, but the alleged offense took place back in August.

The victim’s mother reported that her daughter had visited Ingram’s Brantley residence Aug. 31 to swim in his pool, when he allegedly touched her inap-propriately, urged her to take off her suit, took off his bathing trunks to swim naked in the pool and finally pulled down her bathing suit bottom.

According to the report, Ingram called the victim’s residence the next day to ask if she was all right and if she had any sunburn.

Ingram was arrested and released on bond.The sheriff ’s department also arrested two men

after an attempted armed burglary at a rural Nahunta address.

Deputy Kevin Strickland responded to a call from Linda L. Lewis, 61, who said she discovered an armed man in her living room last week.

Ronald visits Brantley“I'm Loving It With RIF” was the theme for the first RIF reading motivational activities for the children of the Brantley

County Head Start Center. McDonald’s Chief Happiness Officer, Ronald McDonald, was the guest of honor and read three books, ≥The Motion With the Ocean,≤ ≥If You Give A Moose A Cookie,≤ and ≥Caps For Sale.≤ Ronald shared stories, magic and fun during his appearance. The Ronald’s Reading Rangers program teaches children about how much fun it is to read and encourages them to find time to read every day and importance of visiting your local library. All the children took an oath to read every day and received a certificate as they became members of the Ronald Reading Ranger Club. Ronald had the chil-dren laughing and clapping as he performed. The event was part of the Reading is Fundamental (RIF) Program and is funded in part by the United Way of South Georgia. Concerted Services, Inc. Child Development Services is proud of this emergent literacy project which provides reading materials the children can take home. Children were able to choose a free book to carry home to begin or add to their personal library. This is the first of three books distributions for the program year. Ronald McDonald's appearance was completely underwritten and made possible by McDonald’s of Brunswick and Owner Mike Boozer. Boozer strongly supports educational initiatives that improve the lives of children in this community.Special to the Enterprise

New easier way to create ready kit for family

A faster and easier way to create an individual or family Ready kit and communica-tions plan is now at your fin-gertips at www.ready.ga.gov.

The Ready Georgia campaign, which promotes a preparedness and preven-tion culture in Georgia, has added two new online tools that will enable you to fill out a simple guide to develop your personalized Ready kit and commuications plan.

≥We invite all to use the new Ready Georgia online step-by-step tools to create or update your personal preparedness plans,≤ said Charley English, director of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency and Georgia Office of Homeland Security. ≥Many Georgia resi-dents already have essential disaster kit items such as a flashlight, batteries and water stored. However, few have a written plan that includes prescription medications and emergency contact numbers.≤

Ready Georgia is the stateπs preparedness campaign that encourages and educates about disaster planning. Disasters come in all shapes and sizes. A severe tropical storm may cause power outages, while a widespread disease such as Pandemic Influenza may confine you to your home.

After creating their plans and kit, Georgia residents are encouraged to share it with friends and families, print it, send it via e-mail or save it in a flash drive that can be kept in a key chain.

≥The Division of Public Health is a proud and active partner of the Ready Georgia campaign. During a disaster our mission is to provide health care to the most fragile members of our communi-ties. If patients or caregivers can provide us with copies of prescription medications or let us know about allergies or special needs our response to the victims will be faster and our resources will be better used,≤ said Dr. Sandra Eliza-beth Ford, interim director of the Division of Public Health (DPH) Georgia Department of Human Resources.

Real Christmas trees not just a thing of the past By DeWayne Herrin

Christmas today is not what many re-member from their own childhoods, espe-cially if they're Baby-boomers or before. But, all hasn't been lost; it's just changed slightly, especially when it comes to the family Christ-mas tree.

Christmas is just around the corner. Christmas ads are already being run in the newspaper, on television, and on the radio. For many, this hustle and bustle is in sharp contrast to the way they remember Christ-mas from their own early years.

Right in the center of those memories is the family Christmas tree. Each year, the family would take an excursion to find, cut, and haul home a wonderful real tree from the woods nearby.

After getting the tree, the whole family would help with its decoration. The house would be full of laughter and fun. The aroma of hot chocolate or apple cider, and, perhaps, popcorn would fill the air. Christmas music would

play in the background. As the ornaments

were hung, memories would be stirred:

"I remember this ornament. It's been

in the family since Lord-knows-when."

"Oh, and look at this cute

little one. It was made by Junior when

he was only eight."

"Hey, look over here! This is the one that was given to

us by that sweet old lady

who used to live down the road. She made the

world's best peanut butter cookies." "All of you, look really closely at this one!

Remember, it got that that crack in it whenä"And on and on, the memories would flow≠

with each memory leading swiftly to the next.Finally, the ornaments and lights would

be hung and the brightly-lit tree would stand solidly as the focal point of the whole house. All the family would sit back, relax around the tree, watch the glowing lights, and make some more great memories.

The tree's fresh-cut fragrance always contributed to the peaceful, yet festive, atmo-sphere. The family, as well as anyone else entering the home, was always pleasantly welcomed with that wonderful scent from the tree that reminded them of joy and giving.

Here in the Deep South, most likely that tree was a red cedar. It was pretty likely, too, that the tree was pilfered off of some neighbor's land. Back just a few years, such actions weren't looked at as theft. It was like getting a watermelon in the summer. If your neighbor had them in his field, you were welcome to them. On the other hand, if you had them in your field, your neighbor was welcome to help himself. It was only fair. The same logic applied to Christmas trees. Most folks today don't live on farms and land-owners are a lot more particular about folks coming on their land and taking things out.

However, the Christmas tree cutting tradi-tion is still very much alive and well. Georgia has quite a few choose-and-cut Christmas tree farms, which are scattered all across the state. Most farms have a variety of trees from which to choose. There is space and time to roam around the Christmas tree field to select the perfect tree, breathing deeply of the fresh air along the way. Many of these farms also provide hayrides and other fun, family-oriented activities.According to the National Christmas Tree Association's website (www.christmastree.org), there are some great environmental benefits to using real trees. Here are some those benefits: They clean our air and provide oxygen; one acre of trees provides enough daily oxygen for eigh-teen people. They also help clean our water and provide habitat for various wildlife.

Also, the real trees are a renewable resource; the tree farmers plant new trees every year. Unlike artificial trees, which are made from petroleum-based materials, real trees contain no lead or PVC. The real trees are recyclable and don't take up space in our landfills. Further, the choose-and-cut farms are usually family-owned, which means that the local economy is being supported. And, the locally-grown trees tend to be a value, too, because they aren't shipped. Plus, tree freshness is absolutely certain because the customer selects the tree while it's still stand-ing. For more information about making fam-ily memories with real Christmas trees, go to the Georgia Christmas Tree Association's webpage (www.gacta.com) and click on their Farm Finder map to locate a farm near you.

Media bias is real, finds UCLA political scientistBy Meg Sullivan

While the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal is conservative, the newspa-per’s news pages are liberal, even more lib-eral than The New York Times. The Drudge Report may have a right-wing reputation, but it leans left. Coverage by public television and radio is conservative compared to the rest of the mainstream media. Meanwhile, almost all major media outlets tilt to the left.

These are just a few of the surprising findings from a UCLA-led study, which is believed to be the first successful attempt at objectively quantifying bias in a range of media outlets and ranking them accordingly.

“I suspected that many media outlets would tilt to the left because surveys have shown that reporters tend to vote more Demo-crat than Republican,” said Tim Groseclose, a UCLA political scientist and the study’s lead author. “But I was surprised at just how pronounced the distinctions are.”

“Overall, the major media outlets are quite moderate compared to members of Congress, but even so, there is a quantifiable and significant bias in that nearly all of them lean to the left,” said co-author Jeffrey Milyo, University of Missouri economist and public policy scholar.

The results appear in the latest issue of the Quarterly Journal of Economics, which will become available in mid-December.

Groseclose and Milyo based their re-search on a standard gauge of a lawmaker’s support for liberal causes.

Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) tracks the percentage of times that each lawmaker votes on the liberal side of an issue. Based on these votes, the ADA assigns a numerical score to each lawmaker, where

“100” is the most liberal and “0” is the most conservative.

After adjustments to compensate for dis-proportionate representation that the Senate gives to low-population states and the lack of representation for the District of Columbia, the average ADA score in Congress (50.1) was assumed to represent the political position of the average U.S. voter.

McCain coverage much more negative than ObamaBy Howard Kurtz

Media coverage of John McCain has been heavily unfavorable since the political conventions, more than three times as nega-tive as the portrayal of Barack Obama, a new study says. Fifty-seven percent of the print and broadcast stories about the Republican nominee were decidedly negative, the Project for Excellence in Journalism says in a report out today, while 14 percent were positive. The McCain campaign has repeatedly complained that the mainstream media are biased toward the senator from Illinois. Obama’s cover-age was more balanced during the six-week period from Sept. 8 through last Thursday, with 36 percent of the stories clearly positive, 35 percent neutral or mixed and 29 percent negative. McCain has struggled during this period and slipped in the polls, which is one of the reasons for the more negative assess-ments by the 48 news outlets studied by the Washington-based group. But the imbalance is striking nonetheless.

Sarah Palin’s coverage ricocheted from quite positive to very negative to more mixed, the study says. Overall, 39 percent of the Palin stories were negative, 28 percent were positive and 33 percent neutral. Only 5 per-cent of the coverage was about her personal life. But McCain’s running mate remains a media magnet, drawing three times as much coverage as the Democrats’ VP nominee, Joe Biden. He was “nearly the invisible man,” the group says, and his coverage was far more negative than Palin’s. That may be because Biden tends to make news primarily when he commits gaffes. The project says McCain’s coverage started out positive after the GOP convention but nosedived with his frequently changing reaction to the financial crisis. McCain’s character attacks against Obama hurt the Democrat but yielded even more negative coverage for the senator from Arizona. Obama’s coverage since the conven-tions represents a fall to earth from the early primaries of 2008, when the project found that, horse-race stories aside, positive narra-tives about Obama were twice as frequent as negative ones, 69 percent to 31 percent.

Editor’s note: Since you’re not likely to see either of these stories in most news outlets, we offer snippets of them here so you can know who really elected your next President....

Parking lot rageFace it, there are certain things in life

that bring out the worst in people. Bad driv-ers. Monolo pumps in sale bins. Parents who never RSVP when you invite their kids to a birthday party. Love Boat reruns. And on it goes.

But let me just say all that’s nothing on the List of Things That Bring Out Hostil-ity in Otherwise Rational People, compared to…insert maniacal theme music here… the School Parking Lot.

The puzzling thing is no one knows why this happens. I mean, we all start out with pretty much the same goal, which is, for the most part, “to pick up our kids.” No one gets into their car thinking, “Ha! Ha! I’m going to cut people off, not wait my turn, and honk randomly at nothing in particular.” But let’s face it, for reasons we do not yet understand, sometime between backing out of the drive-way and pulling into the parking lot every-thing we’ve ever learned about waiting our turn and being polite and treating others how we’d like to be treated is replaced by seven little words: Move-Out-Of-My-Way-You-Idiot.

Oh, sure, there are a few theories about what causes Parking Lot Rage to happen. I mean, it could be that people are just in a hur-ry. Or the time of day. Or all of the gas fumes from the cars. But I think the real reason is, as my friend Linda puts it, “There’s just something about picking kids up from school that makes people nuts.”

And, trust me, I speak from personal experience.

Take, for example, the last time I picked up my daughter from school. I drove up all Zen-like, thinking about my day, and the swim team carpool, and my new beige satin cami that I got on sale for 40% off which will go great with my brown layered skirt and strappy white sandals.

But what I didn’t anticipate, however, was that the car ahead of me would be so annoy-ing. I mean, all I was trying to do was to pull into the driveway and there it was stopped in the middle of the street. Right. In. My. Way.

But no biggie. In my best “I am a mother and a hom-

eowner and a pillar of the community” sort of way, I lightly tapped the horn and gave a friendly little wave.

Naturally, this caused the driver to do absolutely nothing.

So I did it again. And again. And, oh okay, again. And I might’ve even rolled down my window and yelled something like, “Hell-O. There are OTHER PEOPLE living on this planet, you know! MOOOOOOOVE IT!!” But I don’t really recall that part.

The driver, clearly affected by my persua-sive argument, responded by turning off the car engine and staring at me with Righteous Indignation.

So I did what any upstanding driver would do: I squeezed my car in the 1/90th of a nano-millimeter between The Annoying Stopped Car and on-coming traffic, pulled in front of it and stopped. Ha! Ha! Take that, Buddy! I WILL PLAY YOUR SILLY TWISTED GAME.

Now let me just stop here for a moment and say that it’s not just my bad attitude. Negotiating the school parking lot may seem like a haphazard sort of system, but there is a clear set of unspoken rules. One of which being “do not turn your car off in the middle of the street.” The other being, ahem, “No yelling at other drivers out your car window.” But no matter.

However, my point in all this is, of course, if it weren’t for all of the other bad drivers, Parking Lot Rage wouldn’t be a problem. You could cruise up to the curb, get your child, and be off. But, much like another Brady Bunch reunion and the return of the spiral perm, this will never, ever happen. So you might as well take what I call the “What-EVER Approach” and cultivate an Attitude of Detached Amusement.

So that’s what I’ll do. Next time I pick up my daughter I’ll be calm. And detached. And amused.

Just as long as no one gets in my way.

Advertising messages everywhere, but they don’t stick like glue So you’ve paid a million bucks to have

your logo emblazoned across the soccer team’s jerseys. As fans watch their team’s top scorers approach the goal, they’re reading

“Great Glue” and you just know when they hit the hardware store, they’re going to choose you.

The only problem is that your competitor, Superb Stick, has been doing product place-ment and sponsorship of Disney’s traveling show that includes Handy Manny. Moms and dads with little fans of Stretch the Measur-ing Tape and Squeeze the Pliers are seeing Superb Stick at the same time their kids are having the times of their lives.

Perhaps that was a brilliant move, but not as brilliant as Perfect Paste’s when they scored all three of the old Taylor kids from Home Improvement as their spokesmen, and now the one who played Mark is blogging, the cute middle child is making appearances at stores across North America, and the oldest one, Brad, is doing a satellite media tour about their new formula.

And finally, there’s Awesome Adhesive. They’re a new competitor, but they have do-

nated a few million dollars and a lifetime sup-ply of product to areas devastated by natural disasters, and are focused on lobbying for stricter environmental regulations because their formula already fits the bill.

And then there’s me. The working mom customer.

I watched that soccer game on television, but I was rooting against the Great Glue team. I refused to take my child to the Disney on Ice show, because I’m on a personal rampage against anything that doesn’t allow him to express his own creativity, using his own imagination, not the people from Pixar’s.

I hit Mark’s Perfect Paste blog when I was looking for a way to solve some of my bathroom tile issues, but I got pulled into a meeting (after all, I was at work while doing this) and then had to reply to some e-mails, so I completely forgot about him.

Then, I think I heard about Awesome Adhesive’s efforts on NPR, but if I don’t listen to a happy song that I can sing to on my way home from work, then I can’t make my much-needed transition from work mode to home mode, so I quickly changed the channel.

Later that night, I went to my locally owned hardware store. I grabbed the first strong glue I could find. I didn’t read the label until I got home. The brand? Cemeant-to-be.

It worked. I’m happy. I can check some-thing off my to-do list and sleep a little better tonight. As for those millions of dollars spent by Great Glue, Superb Stick, Perfect Paste and Awesome Adhesive?

I guess their messages simply didn’t stick, and with the exception of helping families who need new homes, most of their money got flushed down the toilet.

The thrill of victory and the agony of concreteBy Dale Terry

Georgia may not have been a “battleground” state in the McCain vs Obama war, but it certainly is in the ‘09 Asphalt War.

The war probably started in late 2007, when Hooters sold Peach State Speedway to Floridian Paul Kegel. Peach State promoter Micky Cain left, and joined with John Kee, of Athens, and Stan Narrison, former Lanier GM, to start the Southeast Asphalt Tour. They affiliated with John Huth’s Florida-based ASA, which is in a costly court battle with Ron and Sandy Varney’s midwest-based ASA over the ASA (American Speed Assn.) name.

Kegel leased Peach State to former racer Vince Whitmire, of Commerce, and Whitmire operated the track through 2008, and directed the Georgia Asphalt Series (GAS), which had a 12-race schedule, including five shows, plus the World Crown 200, at Peach State. Two GAS races were out-of-state, at Anderson, SC.

Round two (or maybe three or four) started when GA Stock Car Racing broke the story Oct. 14 that the racing and insurance Gresham family, of Stockbridge and Griffin, were trying to buy Peach State Speedway.

Another shot was fired Oct. 29, when Whitmire paid $25 to Jackson County Superior Court to register the Trade Name

“The Georgia Asphalt Series.” That shot may have missed, since the sale of GAS was completed and filed Oct. 20.

Kegel was at Peach State Sunday for the World Crown show, and met potential buyer Tony Gresham for the first time Monday.

The Greshams want to buy the track, and maybe the adjacent kart track too. They want a track, not a racing series like GAS.

All references to the GAS series disappeared from the Peach State website this week, and linnks now go to the La-nier Speedway webpage, which announces that the GAS will now be headquartered at Lanier, and “daily operation of the series will be handled by Lanier National Speedway General Manager Terry Roberts.”

Roberts has been at Lanier for only a few months, but was well-respected as the long-time operator of the New Smyrna Speedway near Daytona, FL. Lanier has great facilities for a short track, and the backstretch terraces are unique. Previ-ous mis-management has made car counts a problem.

Another shot was fired Thursday, as Whitmire sends out a news release: “The new Southern Pro Late Model Touring Se-ries will hit asphalt tracks throughout the Southeast in 2009. Former Georgia Asphalt Series Promoter Vince Whitmire, is currently putting together a schedule and will be released soon.” The series website www.splmseries.com is currently being developed.

There are only five asphalt short tracks in Georgia. Only two of them have weekly schedules - Lanier and Watermelon Capital. Peach State, South Georgia, and Senoia in recent years have had special shows only, sometimes with lease ar-rangements with traveling series. A quarter-mile infield track at Atlanta Motor Speedway is used only for Legends-type cars.

Competing for spots on the schedule at these five tracks in 2009 will be four touring series, emphasing the GM crate engine:

last April, and at Greenville-Pickens in Oct.CRA, the Champion Racing Assn. from the midwest, is

racing at South Georgia Nov. 22-23, with $10,000 to win, and will be back early in 2009. If these shows are successful, in at-tendance and car counts, they may be back. They race the big motor cars at tracks as small as Anderson’s (IN) quarter-mile. http://craracing.net

Vince Whitmire has been one of the leaders in asphalt racing in the area, seeking to standardize the motor rules among the series and the tracks. Asphalt racing would be so much better if all of the rules were identical - like much of dirt track racing. Hopefully his efforts will continue and be successful.

John Kee has put the ASA Southeast Tour on cable TV weekly - hopefully that will continue. They had four of 14 races in GA - including a great show at Lanier.

The asphalt scene in Georgia seems to be in turmoil - with battles in the war going on everywhere. Racers, and fans, will have lots of choices.

As fans, we’ll watch it on the track and in the grandstands.

GAS, OIL& SWEAT Special to the Enterprise

Hunters around West Point Lake might be led to believe that Georgia has a new predator roaming the woods - the cougar. A Sunday kill of a male cougar on U.S. Army Corps of Engineer land at West Point Lake, south of Hwy. 109 seemed to verify that thought. However, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Re-sources’ Wildlife Resources Division, this simply is a one-time experience.

“Though cougar and panther sightings persist in Georgia, there are no known native populations of these animals roaming the woods,” advises Wildlife Resources Division Region Supervisor Kevin Kramer. “There is no reason to believe there are any more cougars out there. This likely is a unique expe-rience and while exciting, is not something for which we should be concerned.”

The cougar, taken near the Abbottsford community west of LaGrange, was a male, 88 inches in length measured from the nose

West Point cougar kill called one time thing

to the tip of the tail and weighed approximately 140 pounds. The hunter who took the animal was legally hunting deer from his tree stand at the time the cougar approached.

Initial external examina-tion by Wildlife Resources Division biologists found no tattoos, tags or collars, and the cougar had not been

declawed.Further examination

by The Southeastern Co-operative Wildlife Disease Study in Athens Monday afternoon confirmed the cougar to be healthy and well fed. Researchers determined the cougar had a very low parasite level and that the pads on all four feet were scuffed.

According to SCWDS staff, these findings are consistent with a captive reared cougar, not a wild specimen.

Due to the fact that there are no known native popula-tions of cougars in Georgia, no permitted cougars in this area and that the closest Alabama facilities permitted to house cougars (in Elmore and Macon Counties) have accounted for all permitted cougars, the animal taken Sunday likely escaped or was released from a non-permit-ted individual.

There currently are no leads as to who may have most recently held the animal, but the DNR will continue to look into it.

Though cougar and panther sightings persist in Georgia, there are no known native populations

Registration is open for the 2009 Youth Birding Com-petition, a statewide event that blends fun, challenges and conservation.

The fourth annual com-petition is set for April 25-26, with a banquet and awards ceremony scheduled the eve-ning of April 26 at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center near Mansfield. Participants can begin registering teams from kindergarteners to high school seniors as soon as to-day for free pre-competition birding programs, work-shops and other training events. The Youth Birding Competition is also free. The registration deadline is March 31.

This bird-a-thon and conservation fundraiser is based on the World Series of Birding event in Cape May, N.J., and sponsored by the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division and The Environmental Resources Network Inc., or T.E.R.N. The competition is also growing, in interest and turnout.

“Pretty much every year has exceeded our expecta-tions,” said competition coordinator Tim Keyes, a Wildlife Resources biologist with the division’s Nongame Conservation Section.

This past May, 126 youths from 3 to 18 years old took part. The 29 teams recorded

a total of about 200 bird species and raised $3,642 for conservation in Georgia.

The competition is open to teams ranging in age from kindergarten to high school (participants compete against other teams their age, in four age divisions). Fundraising is a voluntary component. Teams can raise money to support their chosen organization on a per-bird or lump sum basis.

Youth who take part can be experienced birders or first-timers. The overall goal is to engage them in the outdoors, laying the ground-work for interest in bird and wildlife conservation. “A basic awareness is a critical

first step down that road,” Keyes said.

Because there is much more to birds than simply listing them, organizers have added a “Bird Journal” activity for 2009. Participants can turn in a jour-nal that includes sketches and observations about their experiences with Georgia’s birds. Keyes said there is no better way to learn about birds, their habits, habitats and identification than to carefully ob-serve draw and write

about them.To also help youth learn

the birds of Georgia, pre-reg-istered teams will be paired with experienced birding mentors to meet throughout the year and take part in birding programs, work-shops and other bird-related events, such as Flying Wild curriculum, Backyard Bird Counts and Christmas Bird Counts. By organizing and registering teams now, this program helps participants develop the knowledge they need to succeed in the com-petition.

The competition starts at 5 p.m. Saturday, April 25, and ends at 5 p.m. Sunday,

April 26. Groups can use as much or as little of that time to count as many birds as possible throughout Georgia. Although teams may start birding anywhere in the state, they must arrive at the

“finish line” at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center by 5 p.m. Sun-day. While judges examine and score the final checklists, the participants will enjoy a live animal show followed by an awards banquet with prizes including new bin-oculars for the grand-prize winning team.

The state’s third Youth Birding Competition was held May 2-3 this year. Many teams crisscrossed the state, some starting the count at the beginning competition hour, while many others stationed themselves in one area of the state counting birds throughout the day.

Awards for the teams ranged from binoculars to field guides donated by event supporters such as Eagle Optics, Atlanta Audubon Society, Georgia Ornitho-logical Society, Identiflyer, Softscribe and T.E.R.N, the friends group of Wildlife Re-sources’ Nongame Conserva-tion Section.

The T-shirt Art Contest, which started this year, will return in 2009.It is open to Georgia residents in pre-K through high school.

Call goes out for young birders statewide

BELK OF WAYCROSSMALL AT WAYCROSS • 912-283-8255

ATVs in the river, the right way to permit a landfi ll, and a ban on storing chemi-cally treated water under-ground are just three of the topics that will be discussed at Satilla Riverkeeper's 2008 legislative huddle, member-ship meeting, and picnic.

On Saturday, November 22, 2008 members and friends of Satilla Riverkeeper will have an opportunity to hear what some of the solu-tions can be to Southeast Georgiaπs pressing water issues and hear how elected offi cials can help. The event will be held at Summerlinπs Farm in western Brantley County near Waycross, the site of the fi rst Satilla River-keeper meeting and picnic in 2004.

Directions to the event can be obtained from the Sa-tilla Riverkeeper by calling 912-778-3126, or by emailing Hollie Rogers at [email protected].

Starting at 1:30 p.m. the staff of Satilla Riverkeeper will start a discussion of sev-eral issues that bear directly on the health of the river, but also have wider implications for Georgia. Several state-level elected offi cials have in-dicated they will be on hand, including Rep. Mark Hatfi eld (R-Waycross), Rep. Chuck Simms (R-Ambrose), Rep. Mark Williams (R-Jesup), and Sen. Jeff Chapman (R-Brunswick). The workshop is open to the public.

Following the workshop, members of Satilla River-keeper will hold a brief membership meeting, including a review of what has been accomplished and plans for future activities. They will then listen to live entertainment by Kellie Parr, and uncover their covered dishes, enjoying food, friend-ship, and cold beverage . . . . possibly something warm as well! For those who are not members and wish to join, through the end of 2008 student memberships are $5, individual memberships are $15, family memberships are $20, and larger gifts are accepted to help fund the ongoing work of Satilla Riverkeeper ≠ protecting and restoring the Satilla and her watershed.

"Our accomplishments, in a few short years, have been many", said Satilla Riverkeeper Board Chair-man Jamey OπSteen, "but there is much work left to do.

Riverkeeper sets 2008 legislative huddle

Flow and quality have been altered in the Satilla, and in swamps, creeks, and rivers all over South Georgia. It is up to us to save this river for our children and future generations." Satilla River-keeper Gordon Rogers added

that "the Satilla belongs to the citizens; it is up to us to restore and protect her if we wish for this valuable asset to continue to support the culture and fuel the economy of Southeast Georgia".

Retirement estimator rated tops

In the latest quarterly ratings of the University of Michigan's American Cus-tomer Satisfaction Index for Federal Websites, the Social Security Administration's new online Retirement Esti-mator ranked as the best in government.

The Retirement Estima-tor debuted with a score of 90, the highest score in this survey and the second-high-est score ever received by a government website. Several other Social Security online services also are rated among the governmentπs top performers and equal to the highest caliber private sector sites, such as Amazon and Google.

"It's great to be recognized as the best, but we're not resting on our laurels," said Michael J. Astrue, Commis-sioner of Social Security.

"We will have a series of new services in the coming year, and we are also improving some of our already success-ful online services."

The new Retirement Es-timator is available at www.socialsecurity.gov/estima-tor and gives the public the opportunity to run accurate, personalized scenarios for Social Security retirement benefi ts in a user-friendly way.

46E Satilla Heart Cen-ter/f

foto-Satilla Heart Center

The Heart Center at Satilla Regional Medical Center has received notice that its Nuclear Medicine Department has been ac-credited for the first time by the Intersocietal Commis-sion for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Labora-tories (ICANL). The Heart Centerπs Nuclear Cardiology lab has been re-accredited by ICANL. There are currently 49 ICANL accredited nuclear cardiology laboratories with-in the state of Georgia. Four of the laboratories, including The Heart Center, are also ac-credited in General Nuclear Medicine.

The ICANL accreditation program evaluates quality and care, as well as criti-cal elements of the nuclear cardiology laboratory. Ac-creditation signifies the facility has been reviewed by an independent agency that recognizes the laboratory's commitment to quality test-ing for the diagnosis of heart disease.

Nuclear Cardiology and Nuclear Medicine are complex specialties that rely upon the experience and training of both the physi-cian and the technologist. Their interpretive and tech-nical abilities determine the accuracy of the examination. The voluntary accreditation program evaluates the qual-ity of these and other critical elements of a Nuclear Cardi-ology/ Medicine laboratory.

During a nuclear cardiol-ogy testing procedure, both the left ventricular function and blood supply of the heart are assessed. Physicians

can detect the presence of cardiovascular disease and may also discover impor-tant information regarding the possible occurrence of future heart attacks.

Patients who will un-dergo a nuclear scan receive an IV, which allows the nucle-ar scanning technologist to inject a radioisotope using an IV. The body recognizes the radioisotope as one of its own proteins, minimizing the possibility of an allergic reaction.

The first set of pictures taken is similar to a CAT scan of the heart. After the first set of pictures, the patient's heart is stressed through one of several methods.

Some patients walk on the treadmill, which provides them with an

SRMC heart center nuclear program accredited

extremely hard workout. Others receive an IV medica-tion which stresses the heart. Still others, for whom walk-ing would be difficult, receive Dobutamine to temporarily stress the heart. It's non-invasive, other than the IV site, has fewer potential side effects than cardiac catheter-ization and is very reliable. The entire process takes about three hours versus car-diac catheterization, which takes five or more hours.

One American dies every 32 seconds of cardiovascular disease. Disorders of the heart and blood vessels with cardiovascular disease are the leading cause of death in the United States and in southeast Georgia. The Heart Center at Satilla Re-gional is the regionπs leader in detecting, diagnosing and

treating the regionπs number one health problem: cardio-vascular disease.

The ICANL was estab-lished with the support of the American Society of Nuclear

Cardiology, the Society of Nuclear Medicine, the Society of Nuclear Medicine Technologist Section, the American College of Cardiol-ogy, the American College of Nuclear Physicians and the Academy of Molecular Imag-ing. The ICANL provides a peer review mechanism to encourage and recognize the provision of quality nuclear cardiology and nuclear medicine diagnostic evalua-tions. A non-profit organiza-tion, the ICANL is dedicated to ensuring high quality patient care and to promot-ing healthcare.

Staffing the highly special-ized Nuclear Cardiology and Medicine area of the Heart Center are Nona Bunch RN, Chris Dryden RT (R), Ellen Arrington RT (R) (N), Duward Cof-fie, Todd Greene CNMT, and Dianne Greene CNMT, RT (N).
