Hunter wished the new board the best and he looked for-
ward to serving elsewhere in the county someday.
Thomas brought up the issue of county manager Chick
Madray claiming mileage in excess of $9,000 so far this year
which includes his drive to and from work each day. Madray
defended his actions stating that in the executive session in
which he was hired the board agreed to allow him mileage
to and from home. Commissioners Hunter, Summerlin and
Herrin voted to continue to allow the action and add it to
Madray’s contract despite the arguments from attorney Vince
Settle, Thomas and Hendrix who said they remembered no
such conversation and that it was not in the contract.
The board also made the following decisions in the meet-
ing:
• Denied the request by Mike Keen to abandon Keen Road
(County Road #64).
• Approved a one• time coast of $155 for the automated
alarm system to dial 911 at the new recreation park rather
than paying an alarm service $18• $20 a month continually.
• Approved a resolution to allow the county to seek the
Coastal Incentive Grant from the Department of Natural
Resources for up to $500,000 to help preserve and conserve the
rivers, swamps and streams in the county.
• Approved the low bid of Bill, Young, Rivers and Taylor
CPA’s (BYRT) for the 2008• 2010 audits at a cost of $26,200 per
year.
• Approved the move of $1,200 from the contingency fund
to the 2008 audit line item in the 2009 budget due to the in-
creased cost of the audit from the budgeted amount.
• Appointed Sherri Rowell to the Recreation Board.
• Approved the low bid of Pittman’s Lawn and Tractor
Work to install the sewage system at the new recreation park
for $1,995.
• Tabled the approval of the Improvements Required for
Subdivision and Land Development proposal by the Planning
Commission.
• Approved the addition of the county manager to the list
to sign county checks to enable him to sign in place of the
county clerk if she is absent.
• Agreed to let chairman Thomas talk with CSX about
the cutting of the vegetation at the railroad crossing at the
industrial park.
• Tabled the request from Joe Dixon Construction to ap-
prove a bid for flooring at the new recreation department to
allow the board to gather more information.
• Tabled the approval of a proposal to perform grant• writ-
ing services for the Coastal Incentive Grant at a cost of $1,900
to allow time for the board to gather more information on the
requirements of the grant.
The board took no action on the following agenda items:
• A request from retiring shop foreman Charlie Burgess
to raise his pay $2.66 an hour to meet the pay rate of the lead
men at the road department along with back pay for the last
25 pay periods.
• A request from the Fireman’s Association to move $7,700
from the 2008 budget to a capital outlay item in the 2009
budget for a much needed repeater tower that they will not be
able to purchase due to the budget restrictions.
• A request from the Okefenokee Technical College to re-
duce or delete the rent they pay to the county for the Brantley
County Adult Education building due to state cutbacks.
• A request from Wyatt Blount to install speed bumps on
Paloma Drive due to speeding traffic.
Rayonier
From page 1
the way to the coast, a distance of approximately 40 miles.
The Clean Water Act (CWA) and the regulations of the
State of Georgia require that each National Pollutant Dis-
charge Elimination System (NPDES) must achieve water qual-
ity standards established under the CWA, including the state
rules requiring that water discharged into a river must blend
with the existing water in a non-offensive manner.
Section 303 of the CWA further states the standards shall
protect the public health or welfare and enhance the quality
of water standards adopted by the Environmental Protection
Division (EPD).
During 10 years of field observations and data collection
in the river, ARK has documented the smelly dark water leav-
ing Rayonier in trails 30-40 miles down the river.
In 2001, ARK challenged Rayonier's discharge permit, al-
leging its effluent did not meet CWA standards and in 2002 the
company entered into a settlement with ARK to resolve the
problem.
Unfortunately, little or no progress has been evident in the
six years since then, leaving ARK with no choice but to sue
the company in order to clean up the problem.
"Rayonier has not reduced the dark effluent into the river
since the 2002 agreement. Rayonier's own monitoring reports
indicate a very high level of color discharge--a level consid-
ered high even for the paper and pulp mill industry. The prob-
lem is not improving and we have negotiated long enough,"
said ARK Executive Director Deborah Sheppard.
"The clean-up of wastewater from Rayonier has stalled;
we must get it moving again. We cannot allow continued
pollution of our rivers when we have so little water in them
already due to the drought. The EPD has allowed this degra-
dation of one of our most important waterways to go on far
too long. We expect the courts to understand the gravity of
the situation and to require a faster remedy," stated Justine
Thompson, Executive Director of GreenLaw.
A 60-day letter gives the company time to respond with
action before a suit is filed in Superior Court. GreenLaw
expects this letter to accelerate the clean-up process on the
Altamaha River so that fish and people can once again use it
as a clean resource for food and recreation.

redefine
recession...
By Herman Cain
We are in a recession, but it did not start
a year ago.
The mental midgets at the National Bu-
reau of Economic Research (NBER) want you
to believe the recession did start a year ago.
They arrived at this breaking news conclu-
sion by ignoring the definition of a recession
accepted by most respectable economists and
business people.
Surprisingly, they admitted it in the
article written by Emily Kaiser. (“Recession
started in December 2007”, Reuters, Decem-
ber 1, 2008)
Instead of using two consecutive quarters
of negative Gross Domestic Product growth
as the quantitative benchmark for a recession,
the NBER used “All evidence other than the
ambiguous movements of the quarterly prod-
uct-side measure of domestic production” to
confirm their conclusion.
What evidence? They did not disclose that
secret in the article.
Their conclusion was just what the main-
stream media and Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid wanted to hear.
“The announcement simply makes official
what we have long known – with rising costs
of living, rising unemployment, record fore-
closures and depleted savings – we must do
more to help families make ends meet,” Reid
said.
Translation, let’s pass another stimulus
package to the taxpayers with their money,
since the first one worked so well to keep us
out of a recession.
When the “Massive Job Losses” report
was issued on Friday December 5, 2008 by
the Labor Department, the Economic Policy
Institute (EPI) jumped on the “let’s redefine
a recession” bandwagon so we will have even
more headlines with which to depress the
public.
The president of EPI, Lawrence Mishel,
says too much emphasis is placed on GDP as
a measure of economic growth.
Since we do expect to be technically and
officially in a recession at the end of this cal-
endar quarter, let’s redefine our way out of it.
Namely, since consumer spending represents
over 60 percent of the GDP calculation, let’s
redefine $1.00 as $1.25. Retail sales would see RETURN home and a new pump for the girls' water

on this planet without learning a thing or two In my defense, I tried to even things up
about the holidays. I learned that sale items again by going to another store the next day

will always be out of stock. I've learned that
wherever you are the last parking spot within
eighteen miles will be taken by the car in
front of you. And I've learned that it's almost
impossible to give your children an equal
amount of Christmas gifts.
Sure, I know what some of you are think-

would've worked fine except for the portable
CD player I found for my daughter. And so on
and so on.

ing. Some of you are thinking, "Now wait a
minute, Lady. So maybe the first two are true,
but that last one, even if it’s true, is sure NOT
the real meaning of Christmas." And, well,
you're right.
But those of you with kids over three
know this is exactly the kind of thinking a
parent needs to survive the holiday season.
It's called, my friends, the Gift-to-Kid ratio.
And the golden rule with the Gift-to-Kid ratio
is that it must be equal at all times.
And don't think for a minute that I'm ex-
aggerating here. I mean, suddenly on Christ-
mas morning, the very same kid who couldn't
tie his shoes or count past ten the night
before can scan the room in one millisecond
and give a full report, including pie charts
and a break down of percentages, on who has
more gifts. It's mind-boggling really.
Now, that said, you'd think that keep
things even wouldn't be much of a problem.
YOU WOULD THINK.

enough. Take this year for example. There
I was, having survived Black Friday, on

number of gifts for each child in my cart. I
envisioned them joyously opening them on
Christmas morning just like a family in

26 times trying to even out the gifts between
her three children.
Pretty recently, I had narrowed things
down to a one-gift margin in my son's favor.
Practically even. But, as any parent will tell
you, not quite close enough for Christmas gift
giving standards.
Now, at this point you might wonder why
I didn't take something back to the store, or
just give up and go hit my well-stocked supply
of cheap cooking cherry. Both good strate-
gies in theory, but then again, neither totally
foolproof.
So, tricky me, I came up with a third op-
tion: I opened up my daughter's portable CD
player and wrapped the headphones sepa-
rately, and Whamo! I suddenly had an even
number of gifts.
Oh, okay, maybe there's a message in
here somewhere. Maybe it's the obvious one
that Christmas shouldn't be about shallow
consumerism. Or perhaps it's that we need to
teach our children that everything doesn't al-
ways have to be equal. Or maybe, just maybe,
it's that I should have stronger willpower
when shopping.
Whatever the reason, I have plenty of
time to think about it.
I'm not leaving the house again until after
Christmas.

SENIOR
MOMENT
BY BOB BATZ
Seeking shoelaces
in the superstore
I was in one of those humongous super-
stores the other day. I went there to buy a pair
of shoelaces.
I figured it would be a piece of cake. I’m
thinking five, maybe 10 minutes tops, and I’d
be out of there before my car engine even had
time to cool down.
I mean, how difficult could it be to find a
pair of shoelaces? Everybody needs shoelaces,
don’t they?
That’s what I thought, all right. But I was
wrong.
I began my search for shoelaces in the
store’s shoe department.
I’m no dummy, you know. Shoelaces. Shoe
department. It’s a no-brainer, if I ever heard
one.
But during my 32 minutes in the shoe
department, I found socks, slippers, boots and
lots of other things. What I didn’t find was
shoelaces.
Undaunted, I visited several other depart-
ments where I found Barbie Dolls, frying
pans, light bulbs, bath towels, deodorant,
Paula Deen cookbooks that had eight pages
and sold for $18.95, potting soil and scads of
other things.
That’s when I suddenly realized this was
going to be much more than just a quick trip
to the store to buy shoelaces.
Suddenly my little shopping trip had
become as challenging as scaling Mt. Everest,
or winning an argument with my wife.
That’s when I decided to find somebody
who worked at the store and ask him, or her,
to direct me to the shoelaces. But this store,
like so many other stores these days, appar-
ently didn’t have any employees because I
looked and looked and I didn’t find a single
man or woman wearing a name tag that said
something like “HI, MY NAME IS LOIS. HOW
MAY I HELP YOU?”
Then, 20 minutes into my search for a
store employee, I found one. She was wearing
a sticker with a big smiley face on it.
“Excuse me,” I said, politely.
“What the hell do you want?” she snarled,
not taking her eyes off the display of bras-
sieres she was tinkering with.
“I was wondering if you could direct me to
the shoelaces section,” I said.
“Hmmm,” she replied. “Shoelaces . . . shoe-
laces . . . shoelaces . . . hmmm . . . let me think
. . . ahh . . . yes . . . yes . . . aisle four . . . ummm
. . . across from the motor oil and just east of
the skateboards.”
“Thank you,” I said.
“No problem,” she replied.
And I didn’t have the heart to tell her she
was wrong about that.

be used to protect endangered right whales.Collisions
with ships are a leading cause of North Atlantic right
whale deaths.
With right whale numbers estimated at only about
400, the loss of one breeding female can affect the species.
For more than 20 years, the primary way of reducing
ship strikes has been through aerial surveys, which are
costly, dangerous and ineffective at night and in bad
weather. Thanks to improvements in technology, another
method is coming online - locating whales by their calls.
This method, referred to as passive acoustic detec-
tion, uses computerized buoys that listen for right whale
calls and immediately report those calls to land using
a cellular or satellite telephone link. Scientists from
Cornell University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution recently installed the first full-scale, real-
time passive acoustic detection system in Cape Cod Bay.
(Check http://www.listenforwhales.org/ to see if any
right whales have been detected today.)
When a right whale vocalization is detected, certain

predators. If so, passive acoustic detection techniques
would be poorly suited to protecting the most
valuable demographic component of the population
- breeding females. Biologists from the Georgia Depart-
ment of Natural Resources, the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission and NOAA National
Marine Fisheries Service hope to answer this ques-
tion during the upcoming right whale calving season.
They plan to attach temporary recording devices called
Bioacoustic Probes or B-Probes on the backs of up to 10
right whale cows with calves. The probe tags are about
a foot long and attach to the whales’ rubbery skin with
suction cups. The process sounds deceivingly simple: A
whale is approached by boat. The tag is attached to the
whale’s back with a handheld pole. The probe records
vocalizations and ambient sound for up to 12 hours.
Then it pops off and is relocated using a VHF radio
receiver.“While maneuvering the 23-foot tagging boat
within 15 feet of a 50-foot-long, 50-ton swimming right
whale will certainly be challenging, the biggest chal-
lenge will likely be whether or not the tags stay on for
the full recording time,” said biologist Clay George, of
the DNR’s
Wildlife Resources Division. “Right whale calves fre-
quently roll back and forth across their mothers’ backs,
which may cause the tags to detach prematurely.”If suc-
cessful, the project could help determine whether pas-
sive acoustic detection is a viable management option in
the Southeast. The
project will take place from January through March
2009. Scientists at the Northeast Fisheries Science Cen-
ter will analyze the acoustic data. The National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration Marine Fisheries
Service and the DNR’s Nongame Wildlife Conservation
Fund are providing funding.Buying a Georgia wildlife

Tips for ensuring

a successful season
filled with family
and friends
Family Features

t
here is no doubt that many consumers may be feeling a
budget crunch as the holiday season approaches, but this
year with careful planning and some top notch tips from
the experts, they can ensure themselves an efficient, eco­
nomical, and memorable holiday season.
though the season seems to begin earlier each year, getting a head
start can help to not only get everything done on budget, but also to
give you time closer to the holiday to focus on what is the most impor­
tant, and what is truly worth celebrating.
“the holiday season is an important time to express gratitude for
the relationships that sustained us throughout the year, but with all
that we have to do we often lose sight of that,” said shelley lulow,
etiquette expert at american Greetings. “By setting a clear plan and
staying on track with everything from shopping to hosting house­
guests, you can make more time to enjoy the spirit of the season with
friends and family.”

How to get everything done Conquering “the impossible”

on time ... and under budget
last year, numerous holiday concierge services
advertised their capabilities to distressed consumers
looking for some relief. But just because some have
had to outsource their holiday workload doesn’t mean
that you can’t get it all done on time and without
spending a small fortune. Here are some useful tips
to stay on time and under budget this holiday season.
n Make a plan: Before you set out to cross off all
of your holiday to­dos, sit down and map every­
thing out with a handy calendar to set deadlines
for yourself.
n Take a day off to just shop: avoid crowds and
alleviate stress by taking a day or two off just to
get some holiday chores done.
n Just say no: you will undoubtedly be invited
to numerous gatherings, but reserve the right to
politely decline. still feeling a little guilty? send
a small gift and holiday card with your regrets.
n Set and stick to a budget: sounds easy, right?
it does, but it is often easier said than done. rather
than arbitrarily setting a number, really examine all
you have to do and set budgets for each area.
n Try to only use cash or debit card: the credit
card is a great tool for the holidays. However, it
also tends to make us less conscious of what we
are actually spending. if you have made a budget
based on what you have available, you are more
likely to not go over it.
n Apply for rebates: in the busy time that is the
holiday season rebates may seem like an insigni­
ficant annoyance, but they can add up. When you
come home with a gift offering a rebate, fill it out
immediately and send it away.
Send a little holiday cheer to friends and family with the
latest holiday greeting cards from American Greetings that
feature lights and sound.
on your shopping list
after surviving “Black Friday” crowds and navigating
the intense shopping season that follows, there’s often
a person left on your list that you struggle to find the
perfect present for. When you ask them what they
would like, they respond with, “You don’t have to
get me anything,” or “There’s nothing that I need,”
and you’re back to the drawing board, frustrated.
No reason to fret this year thanks to these easy steps
to ensuring a great gift for anyone on your list.
n Become a super sleuth: Pay extra attention
throughout the year to discover items the hard to
shop for recipient may need or want, as they become
tight­lipped during the holidays in fear they will
appear rude in asking directly for something they
would like.
n Mirror their gifting behaviors: take a close
look at the type of presents the person gives, as it
indicates what they feel constitutes a good gift. if
aunt Jane gave you a sweater last year, she may be
indicating the importance of staying warm and may
enjoy a nice set of hat and gloves this year.
n Give them an experience: Put yourself in the
recipient’s shoes and think of what types of experi­
ences they may find relaxing, exciting or enriching.
educational gifts, such as cooking, crafting or dance
classes, and relaxing activities such as a spa treat­
ment or fine dining experience are popular choices.
n Create a beautiful gift presentation: modern
styles of gift bags, wrapping paper, and gift card
holders offer a broad selection of themes to choose
from and selecting one that reflects the personal
style of the recipient shows off your efforts.

How to make your holiday guests

feel right at home
The holidays present an opportunity to reflect on the year’s suc­
cesses and reconnect with family. Whether you’re hosting one
guest for the night or aunt Jane and uncle larry are occupying
the guest room for the next two weeks, careful planning can pre­
vent holiday mishaps.
n Speak with your houseguest in advance: Determine
transportation needs, length of stay, intended activities and any
dietary needs. Knowing your guest’s expectations ahead of time
will help you to anticipate their needs.
n Maintain a sense of order: the holidays create an array of
social engagements, so providing your guests with access to your
holiday calendar will help to keep them informed. also, be sure
to review any routines that your guests may need to be aware
of, such as the time you need to get ready for work or children’s
bedtimes.
n Take a hint from the hotels: a welcome basket including
often­forgotten toiletries such as soap, lotion, and a miniature
sewing kit shows that the guest is not only welcome, but wanted
in your home. Be sure to also have extra blankets, bedside light­
ing, an alarm clock, and a bottle of water available.
n Love is in the details: you can perk up a guest bedroom
with fresh flowers or a seasonal potted plant. Include reading
materials such as a book or magazine that you think your guest
may enjoy.
n Finish it off with a note from the heart: the holidays
offer the perfect opportunity to share heartfelt sentiments with
friends and family. Finish off the welcome basket with a personal­
ized note or holiday greeting card to express your excitement for
the opportunity to share the holiday season with your guest.

Modern styles of wrapping paper, accessories, gift bags, and gift card holders offer a broad selection of themes to choose from for
everyone on your shopping list. Visit www.corporate.americangreetings.com for store locations.
