County expands manager’s spending limit
By Chris Buchanan
News editor
financial breathing room after the board of
commissioners voted to expand the amount
of money he can spend without a formal
request at Monday night’s regular meeting.
After a unanimous vote, county manager
Parrish Barwick will now be able to spend
$1,500 without first getting permission from
the county commissioners. This is a sizable
increase from the previous amount of $500.
“We’re certainly in much better shape
now than we were two years ago when we put
those limits in place,” said Chairman Ron
Ham.
Vice Chairman Charlie Summerlin
narrowed down the initial proposal made by
Ham which allowed for the chairman rather
than the entire board to sign for purchases
between $1,501 and $3,000.
“I think the whole board needs to be
involved,” said Summerlin.
The board is also looking into differ-
ent ways to help secure the courthouse by

CHAIRMAN’S CORNER
By Ronald Ham, chairman, The Brantley County Board of Commissioners

County enters final coming weeks. The lighting for all 5 fields is
being installed and will be complete in a few
weeks. The goal is to have all facets of the
quarter with solid park ready for the spring.
Construction has restarted on the

The county enters the final quarter of
the year in solid financial standings with
many community improvement projects
under way which are funded through Special
Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST)
dollars or grant / GADOT funding.
Remember that SPLOST funds are col-
lected for a “specific capital expense” and
that 1% sales tax revenue can only be used
for those purposes. About every four years
the community has the opportunity to sup-
port a SPLOST referendum. Supporting the
SPLOST makes projects like these possible.

shows financial figures to date. They dem-
onstrate that expenses are under budget and

complete their modifications during this time
as well.

has those digest sheets, we can complete the

� Tony Stewart’s rookie year
was 1999. He has won at least
one race in every year of his Cup
career and at least two in every
season except 2008.
� Chevy clinched the manufac-
turer championship, taking the
top three spots and six of the top
seven in Fontana.
� Six races remain, with only
Denny Hamlin (-36), Kevin Harvick
(-54) and Jeff Gordon (-85) within
100 points of Jimmie Johnson.
� Johnson only has 12 career
victories at the next two tracks,
Charlotte and Martinsville.
� Former NASCAR driver Shane
Hmiel was critically injured in
Terre Haute, Ind., during a Silver
Crown qualifying run. He suffered
neck and back fractures and was
in critical but stable condition at
Indianapolis’ Methodist Hospital.
� In 1992, Alan Kulwicki trailed
Davey Allison by 278 points with
six races remaining … and won the
championship. Both drivers died the
following year in aviation accidents.
� Johnson’s past three
finishes: 1, 2, 3. His pursuers take
little comfort in the fact that the

� All three Ford drivers in the
Chase are 162 points or more

five drive Chevys.
� Johnson, who leads
Denny Hamlin by 36 points, has
outscored Hamlin by 71 in the
past two races.
� An unusually high incidence of

— created notable shifts in the Chase

DAVID RAGAN VS. KURT BUSCH
The two tangled late in the Pepsi Max 400,
and Ragan took the blame. “Late in the race,”
he said, “I was just going as hard as I could
and not cutting anyone any slack, and just
misjudged by a foot or two, and it cost us.
Fifty laps into the race I wouldn’t have made
that decision, but it was the last run of the
day and with less than 10 laps to go, the little
bit of give-and-take goes out the window.” It
cost the elder Busch brother, too. He fell 140
points off the Chase lead.
NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton
gives his take: “It’s late in a really bad
season for Ragan, who understandably wants
to make some kind of impression in the final
races of the season. This impression wasn’t a
good one, however.”

Little known facts about whitetails

By J. Wayne Fears

Learning as much as possible about white-tailed deer

will enable you to hunt better and smarter. My book, the
“Deer Hunter’s Pocket Reference,” available at www.protool-
industries.net/fears/index.html, is full of information about
deer. Here are some little-known facts about whitetails.
* How Deer Go Fishing - A deer will kill and eat fish by
using its paws to disable fish such as trout. Next it will take
the fish in its mouth, chew it and swallow it. Whitetails com-
monly eat fish up to 14-inches long.
* How a Deer Spots the Hunter - Deer can spot movement
so well, because they have the ability to focus on both nearby
and distant objects at the same time. For instance, a deer can
concentrate on what it’s eating, yet keep its eye out for preda-
tors at the same time. The deer’s eyes sit high and wide on its
head, which allows a deer to see almost completely around
itself.
* How Bucks Fight Back - When bucks fight, they most
often lock antlers, push and shove. But in almost all other
situations, the buck uses his sharp, slashing hoofs as his
number-one defense to strike and cut other deer, kill snakes
and ward-off predators.
* What You Can Learn
about a Buck Deer - Although
you can’t determine a buck’s
age by his antlers, you can
follow some general rules to
approximate his age. Small
and narrow racks generally
indicate a young deer, while
wider and taller racks usu-
ally imply an older deer. The
number of points a deer has
on his rack may not represent
the length of time the deer
has lived.  A1-1/2-year-old
buck raised on good soil may
have 8 points and possibly a
6- to 10-inch inside spread of
the main beam. A 2-1/2- to
a 4-year-old buck often will
have 8 points and measure 16
to 18 inches between the main
beams. A 5-1/2- to 6-1/2-year-
old buck may have an 18- to
20-inch inside spread of the
main beam and sport 8 points
or more. However, after 6-1/2-years, the size of the bucks’
antlers generally decreases. From studies done at Auburn
University in Auburn, Alabama, scientists have learned that
generally the availability of highly-nutritious food plays a
larger role in antler development than any other factor.
* How Deer Eat - Deer browse, and when feeding, a mature
deer breaks off twigs and branches and chops its food with
its 24-grinding teeth. A deer chews its food only briefly before
passing the food to its rumen, a storage compartment. Once
the rumen fills-up, the deer will move to heavy cover for
protection to complete the process of chewing and digesting
its food. Next it regurgitates the partially-digested material
from the rumen, chews it briefly and swallows the food for a
second time. Then the food passes through the deer’s 65-foot-
long intestine where it’s digested. Within 1-1/2-days after the

deer chews the food, this waste will have passed from the

* Which Deer Use Rubs - When hunters see a deer rub in
the woods, they often assume this rub has been made by and

the sexes. Does sometimes sniff, lick or even mark a buck’s
rub with their foreheads.
* Which Deer Make Scrapes - Although most hunters
believe only dominant bucks make scrapes, wildlife biologists
have found indications that does also make scrapes some-
times, and this behavior isn’t limited to breeding season. The
more scientists study the scraping behavior of deer, the more
they realize how little they understand the social behavior of
whitetails.

Lady Herons advance

to state playoff game
The Lady Heron softball team will travel
today to Zebulon,GA to play Pike County
High School Lady Pirates to begin the first
rounds of State Competition in Region 2AA
Softball.
Brantley hosted one of the Sub Region
play off games last week and had to face
undefeated (in the region) Jeff Davis. The
Lady Herons rocked their world in game one
as they defeated Jeff Davis 2-1. Not to be out
done in their number one seat, they cam back
to defeat the lady Herons 5-3 and 7-1. But
Brantley did manage to melt that big 0 at the
end of JD's stats.
On Saturday morning they traveled to
Vidalia to play a tournament top determine
placement going into state. , that they lost 5-3
late in the game which will place them in the
4th seat in Region 2AA. At the end of the day,
Jeff Davis would retain their first seat with
Appling, settling for second, Vidalia edging by
Brantley to hold the third spot and Brantley
would round it out in fourth.
The Lady Heron softball team is led by
2011 Senior Kelly Harris, Janna Mullis and
Brooke Floyd. You can keep up with the Lady
Herons online at www.BrantleyBlueand Gold
or the online Brantley Enterprise , as updates
will be posted through the State Play Off Seniors Kelly Harris, Janna Mullis and Brooke Floyd
games.

Herons battle Warriors hard

Brantley County Rec night was a huge suc-
cess with approximately 200 kids coming our to
show their support for the Heron  team lined all SCENES FROM FRIDAY’S GAME AGAINST TATTNALL Photos and collage by Kathy Hendrix
the way to the thirty yard line. With multiple
injuries and disciplinary issues facing the team,
they knew it was going to be a long hard battle
with the Warriors of Tattnall County.
Brantley scored early with one yard sneaker
by QB Devon Blankenship which got the atten-
tion of their opponent who unleashed their #3 
Davis who ran for would take three TD’s in the
second quarter alone. “We knew he was going to
be a force to deal with, “ Coach Walker explained.
This would put Brantley trailing 21-7 at the half.
After the half, with some  creative  strategy it
would be #15 Garrick Jackson stepping up in the
third to catch a 14 yard pass and into the Heron
green, they didn’t see that one coming.   Another
score would be be a QB keeper and a second score
by Blankenship with a failed PAT giving the Her-
ons 13 total. The Warriors will be unable to score
several times due to that Brantley County De-
fense and  a great QB sack by #9 Chevi Middleton.
Brantley would score again after some great
first down efforts by #27 Robert Spradley who
really stepped up his own game for the Herons on
Friday night. #21 Jamison Williamson made an
awesome catch that literally bobbled in and out
of his hands in the end zone but had possession
when he came back up for another Heron touch-
down.
New kicker Lennard would attempt a 34
yard field goal that would be tipped by a Warrior
player and end that scoring possibility. #11 Dylan
Hickox and #5 EJ Thomas would made some
impressive catches as well for the night but that
Tattnall defense defended that end zone when
they learned of how quickly BC could drive in.
“Tattnall is a good team that is disciplined and
extremely well coached. They are athletic and I
felt like we played some good football with
them, “ was the comment of Head Coach Mark
Walker.
Herons travel to Ludowici, Georgia this week
to face the Long County Tide, Heron fans are en-
couraged to continue their support of our “Boys
of Fall.”
