input from residents
Sen. Saxby Chambliss claimed another six years in the Senate garnering a convincing 1,220,854 votes as Jim Martin’s campaign went down in flames, drawing only 905,637 votes. Brantley County voters were even more generous to Chambliss handing him 2,159 votes while only 448 ballots came down in the Martin camp. Chambliss carried every pre-
cinct in Brantley by huge margins ranging from 91 percent in Schlatterville to 71 percent in Nahunta in a runoff election that drew only 25 percent turnout. The senator was given a boost from Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin who campaigned for him, while Martin sent out rap star Ludacris to campaign, hoping to ride the coattails of Barack Obama. But Obama did not campaign for Martin in person, although he

Nahunta From page 1 day the city discussed the street department’s S-10 work truck that has a broken driver side door, apparently from being welded incorrectly when fixed in the past. Director Johns stated that he had taken it to repair man several times, but was unable to reach him due to an illness. Johns said he would take it to his residence and try to fix it himself. Councilmen Richard Johns expressed his concern for the safety of the workers and said that if it could not be repaired, the city needs to retire it. The council opened bids for health insurance from Blue Cross Blue Shield, Coventry Healthcare, United Healthcare, and Principal Life insurance. After reviewing the bids the council voted to renew their contract with Blue Cross Blue Shield. Chief Darren Crews reported that the police department had issued 10 citations, filed three incident reports, filed three accident reports, took out six warrants and made 9 arrests during November. Chief Crews also said that the police clerks computer was down and asked that they look into finding a new one without Windows Vista on it. The council asked the city clerk to look in to available options to have the computer repaired. Director of Operations Hugh Johns said that during November the water and sewer department had read the meters, started cut-offs, and ordered a pump for the Avalon Street lift station. Johns also reported that the streets department had put up the Christmas Lights, covered 100 feet of driveway pipe for a citizen, hauled several loads of dirt and finished cleaning the sidewalks during November. The fire department reported that they had responded to three calls during November, as well as tested their fire hose and pump tested a fire engine.

Attention: City of Nahunta Residents
The City of Nahunta has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 111%. The increase is due in large part to a lock of reserves in the budget for the previous year. The City has opted to raise the millage rate rather than borrow money. The Mayor and Council regret any tax increase, and will work hard in the coming year to insure that the financial position of the City is strengthened, primarily through expense containment.
NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX INCREASE

The Christmas Spirit Foundation has again teamed with FedEx to deliver Real Christmas Trees to soldiers in the armed forces through the Trees for Troops program. The Trees for Troops program was started in 2005. Since then, thousands of Real Christmas Trees have been collected and distributed to our military personnel and their families. For 2008, it is expected that Trees for Troops will collect over 16,000 Real Christmas Trees from 29 states during late November and into December. These trees will be delivered to military families across the United States, as well as to soldiers overseas. The Georgia Christmas Tree Association (GCTA) is participating in the program. GCTA is an organization of Christmas tree professionals, primarily owners of chooseand-cut farms. Its growers have already committed to providing over 650 trees to Trees for Troops for this year. Consumers and businesses are encouraged to participate, as well. A GCTA member, Days of Creation Christmas Tree Farm, near Jesup is making it easy for consumers. The consumer simply selects a 5foot to 7-foot tall tree and buys it (at a ten percent discount) for Trees for Troops. The consumer will receive a taxable donation receipt for the purchase. The Herrin family at Days of Creation will then be responsible for marking the tree as being for Trees for Troops and will, at the appropriate time, harvest the tree and get it into the delivery process. In Georgia, four FedEx trailers are slated for delivery to Fort Stewart on the week of Thanksgiving and the week following. Dewayne Herrin of Days of Creation, along with his son Derrick, was at Fort Stewart when the trees were being distributed in 2007. Herrin says that he was impressed by the organization of the effort. Herrin, a father of six himself, also said that he was moved by the many families with small children who were in line gratefully receiving the trees. Those young children were often accompanied by one young parent. In many cases, the other parent was deployed overseas. Herrin said that the sight caused him to really think about the impact that war has on families, including the ones left at home, and to realize how our military personnel truly deserve our respect. In order to meet the distribution schedule, consumers need to select trees for the troops early. Herrin says that Days of Creation will accept donations through December 1. If buying from other growers, Herrin suggests that consumers contact the grower regarding how that grower is participating.

Consumers can also find out how to make a direct donation at this site.

TALKING POINTS... Things you need to know
Time for government to stop ‘fixing’ the economy By Paul Ibrahim Few headlines are more frightening than those announcing grand government plans to “repair” the economy. Every time a news headline reads “Congress Anxious to Address Economy” or “Obama Will ‘Do What’s Necessary’ to Fix Economy,” Americans should start worrying twice as much about their economic future as they already do. Few political arguments these days are backed up with facts, but in this case there is vast empirical evidence that governmental action on economic issues almost always exacerbates existing economic problems and often creates new ones (the exception, of course, being when government acts to undo interventionist policies it had previously adopted). As of this past summer, 90 percent of the gains in the Dow Jones Industrial Average in the past 111 years has come when Congress was in recess. This trend started to become even more lopsided a few decades ago when the degree of government intervention in the American economy intensified rapidly. In the past 45 years, for instance, the S&P 500 Index barely went up 1.6 percent yearly when Congress was in session, but shot up to a striking annual average of 17.6 percent when Congress was out of session. How can this dramatic inverse correlation be explained? First, there is the element of uncertainty. When Congress is in session, the market knows that some industry is going to get hurt by some new regulation from politicians seeking to gratify their special interests, and that another industry is going to have its lobbying dollars rewarded with a nice, arbitrary subsidy. What the market doesn’t know is which industries will be affected, and where political decisions will force money to be invested. On the other hand, when Congress is in recess, investors are more likely to invest in industries that will create jobs, quality products, efficient business models and wealth. Second, members of Congress are convinced that just because they are on Capitol Hill, they must do something. Even if the economy is in good shape, but especially if it is not, the Hill’s and media’s assumption that Congress must “do something” is a foregone conclusion. The question only becomes what exactly they must do. It rarely occurs to them that most of the time, the best thing they can do for the economy is to just stay out of the way. But because of the culture of unnecessary and counterproductive need for action, policies are enacted by Congress that usually harm the economy and thus hurt the markets. This urge to “do something” has been tried repeatedly in American history, and has failed as many times. During the Great Depression, for instance, President Herbert Hoover was urged to “do something.” He did. Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, which impaired free trade, supported an increase in taxes and made attempts to provide government-sponsored jobs. As good economists predicted at the time, these policies only made the situation worse. But that did not stop Franklin Roosevelt from adopting similar anti-growth policies. Roosevelt’s massive expansion of government and attempt to “create” new jobs did nothing but to prolong the Great Depression until World War II. What Roosevelt didn’t understand is that government can never “create” jobs, it can only reassign them. When government funds a new public sector job, it has taken enough money out of the economy to defund a private sector job that was going to be efficiently and sustainably created by the free market. So it took both a Republican and a Democrat to turn the Great Depression into a greater depression. Likewise, it is taking us both the Bush Administration and the Obama Administration to move the economy from somewhat off-course to going in reverse. Will they ever learn? Uncertainty is killing the market today. Americans – intelligent Americans who normally act based on reasonable market expectations – cannot make investment decisions because they know that their fates would depend not on realistic market behavior, but on the whim of politicians. And today’s wild financial swings, the likes of which we have never seen before, are a direct result of uncertainty over what the government will do. Despite this precedent of government intervention in the economy, America still boasts a history of minimal interventionism when compared to other world governments. Is it thus a coincidence that we have the greatest and most successful economy in the history of the world? Why, then, are we going in the exact direction that less successful countries have gone in? Why, since we have proved to the world that the freest markets become the wealthiest ones, are we ignoring the very same lesson we are supposed to be teaching the rest?

Insanity alert: Democrats look to bring death tax back to life While some people are still gushing over the victory of President-elect Barack Obama, and others are now grumbling about his early cabinet announcements, fiscal hawks are focused on the volatility of the stock market and the attempts to unthaw the frozen credit and cash-flow markets. But some of us are more concerned about the coming legislative insanity of the newly elected Congress. The Unfairness Doctrine and the Employee No Choice Act are leading the parade, but I must now alert you to the No Death Tax Holiday. The insanity of the previous two pending actions was discussed in my column last week, and are designed to suppress our liberties. The latest addition will confiscate our lifelong earnings. In the current tax code, which is consistently called the Bush tax cuts by Democrats to imply to the great unwashed that they must be bad by definition, the Death Tax (aka the estate tax) is scheduled to go to zero percent on January 1, 2010. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the zero percent tax rate will expire on the last day of 2010. So you have one year to die in order to minimize your death taxes. The worse news is that Congress does not have to do anything for a one-year death tax holiday to expire in 2010. It is the language incorporated into the legislation passed in 2001
and signed by President Bush, because the president and the Republicans had to make that concession to get the tax changes passed. Yes, it is insane. The Democrats’ solution to this insane proposition is to not allow the death tax holiday at all. Namely, kill the year-long death tax holiday altogether. That means the death tax rate would go back to 55 percent of all assets over one million dollars in 2010. In case you do not think you could be affected by this, consider how easy it is to be worth $1 million in your lifetime. If your average annual income in your lifetime is $75,000 a year, and if you save an average of 10 percent a year through 401(k) or personal savings, and you do this for 45 years (age 20 through 65), you will have saved with interest over $400,000 for your retirement. If you are not on that schedule, then you should be. If both spouses are working then that’s $800,000. And, if the two of you are living in a $200,000 house then that’s one million dollars. Voila! If you succeed at creating a net worth of more than $1 million, such as with life insurance policies or other investments, then 55 percent of the excess would go to the government and 45 percent would go to your children or heirs. This is what happens to most small or family-owned businesses. That’s insane. Even if you do not object to surrendering 55 percent of your life’s work to the government (I object passionately), think of the jobs and careers eliminated because someone had to “sell the farm to save the farm”, or they had to “sell the business to save the business.” It happens all the time, but it does not make the mainstream news. I am not willing to surrender 55 percent of my lifelong work without a fight. That’s why I joined www.nodeathtax.org . And I am not insane.

FAMILY DAZE BY DEBBIE FARMER
Cake walking For reasons we do not know, at different ages we all have different ideas of what qualifies as Big Fat Fun. For instance, in my 20’s it was slam dancing in a mosh pit. In my early 30’s it was water skiing. And now in my, er, um, anyway, it’s the Annual Holiday Festival cakewalk at the local elementary school. Now, for those of you who don’t know exactly what a cakewalk is, let me explain. It’s a game where you walk around in a circle as music plays and when it stops you stand on a number. Then a number is pulled out of a basket and, if you’re standing on that exact same number, you get to…wait for it … pick a cake of your choice from the winners table! Oh, all right. So maybe it’s not right up there with, say, bungee cord jumping and cross-country skiing on the list of The Most Thrilling Things To Do On This Planet. But, hey, let me just say that with my cooking skills there’s nothing more exciting than owning a cake that I didn’t have to bake. But, the really funny thing about this is that we all know you can just go to the grocery store and buy a cake for under ten dollars. But do I let that bit of information stop me from spending twenty bazillion dollars trying to win one? No! Should it have? Don’t bother answering that! Still and all there’s something about the thrill of the chase that’s irresistible. But getting back to my story. When I got to the festival, I handed the cakewalk monitor a ticket and waited for the music to start.
SEE IT MY WAY BY CINDY DROOG
Grading my days in corporate America
I don’t own much memorabilia from my junior high days. It’s not that it was a difficult time. My soccer team was undefeated. I lived next door to my cousins, who were great fun to hang out with. And my little brother was still young and cute enough for me to lug him around town with me. Yet I have nary a photograph of that time in my life (all ruined in an attic flood). Nor do I have any of the tape recorded soap operas my best friend Erin and I made. (If I had those, I’d have constant entertainment on hand. We even sang our own commercial jingles!) One thing I did manage to keep, however, was my diary. And it is hilarious. You can tell I was a bit of a nerd, always thinking about grades, because I even graded the days in my diary. “Today was a B+ day. It would have been an A day, but I didn’t see Mark in the hallway and so we did not get to flirt.” Do kids in junior high even still use the word “flirt?” Do they even do anything less than completely making out these days? I digress . . . There were also a few “F” days in there. “I got yelled at in Science class today. And when Dad came to pick me up at the library, he couldn’t find me and asked every kid in there. I almost died of embarrassment!” So I thought it would be fun to start grading my days at work. Would an “A” day mean that I’d gotten through 30 of the 87
And I would like to say that I stood on the winning number, picked out a triple layer chocolate cake with butter cream frosting and went home happy. And in a perfect world this would be true. But we all know this is not a perfect world Which means that after 10 minutes I still didn’t have a cake. After 20 minutes I had three new blisters and my feet began to drag. After 30 minutes I had used all of my tickets and most of the oxygen in the room. But. Still. No. Cake. Then I noticed something suspicious: most of the cakes were being won by cute little kids. Not that I’m insinuating anything, mind you. But STILL. And to make matters worse it seemed that people everywhere were walking around flaunting their cakes. Especially one particularly annoying person, who I’ll call my best friend Barb, who won three, count ‘em, THREE cakes. So I did what any desperate Cake Loser would do: I came up with an airtight strategy. I would lurk around the cake table, trip whatever kid won, and steal his cake and run away. Oh, relax. For those of you who work in social services, of course I’m kidding. Instead I implemented the much more covert Plan B, which was to give my friend Barb, and all of her family, my tickets so they could play for me. This is known in certain circles as, “stacking the deck.” Or, in other certain circles, as “cheating.” WhatEVER. The important point here is that Barb’s number was drawn I won a cake. A CAKE! And, yes, although the cakewalk police might have a thing or two to say about this. I have two words for them: Oh, well. Because, even more importantly, I now have a fabulous homemade cake for the annual Farmer Family Christmas potluck that I can pass off as my own. Sure, some may call this sneaky. Me? I call it efficiency. Sometimes with cake, and Big Fat Fun, it’s all a matter of perspective.
things on my to-do list, and only had to attend one meeting, that both started and ended on time? Would an “F” day be caused by a vice president walking by me in the hall and greeting me with, “Hello, Mandy?” (My name is Cindy!) It’s an interesting concept, and not really a foreign one to corporate America. In fact, every time I’ve had an annual review, it’s reminded me of walking home from school the day you knew report cards were going to arrive in the mail. It was never bad grades that worried me. (Remember? Nerd.) But the comments were always killer. “Cindy talks way too much in class and doesn’t focus well.” “Cindy disrupts the other children when they are trying to learn.” “Cindy is a clown.” My parents would always make me sit at the dinner table and talk to them for what seemed like two hours – in retrospect, it was probably all of 15 minutes – about issues like disrespect and listening skills, and my retort was always the same: “But I got an A-. That’s just like an A! Why does this other stuff matter?” As a middle management, mid-30s, mom of two today, it’s funny that I still feel like that same little kid, walking home from school dreading the conversation on annual performance review day. One boss said I was a good writer, but not great. (To which I wanted to reply: Not what my clients say!) Another says that if a project needs to get done both well and fast, he always assigns it to me, but I’m not a patient person for long-term projects. (To which I’ve always wanted to reply: Duh!”) So, there you have it. I wasn’t perfect then, and I’m not perfect now. I only wish I could take my annual review – like we did with our report cards – to Chuck E. Cheese and get tokens for every “Performs Consistently with Excellence” score. After all, it is the corporate America version of an A-. And I think it’s worthy of few free games of Ms. Pac Man – or is that just the junior high kid inside me coming out again?

RIVERS &WOODS BY WYATT HUTCHESON
Enjoying good old dog hunting Greetings everyone. I hope this finds everyone doing great and enjoying the cooler temperatures outdoors. After some much needed vacation time and a few days off for the Thanksgiving Holiday, I’m back and ready to rock and roll. The rest of the year looks to be a good one for the outdoors. Deer season continues to be a good one for most folks. Lots of good bucks have been taken around the county and it looks to be good right up to the last part of the season. I was able to enjoy some good old fashioned dog hunting on my recent vacation and it sure was fun hearing some of those puppies run. It always excites me when a young dog figures out what it’s supposed to be doing and gets after one. For those that prefer a slower dog race – Rabbit season came in mid-November. Rabbit numbers seem to be thriving most anywhere I look, so it should be good for those of us that rabbit hunt. The Saltwater fishing for trout has sure enough turned on. Artificial baits or live baits seem to be working. If you can stand the cooler weather and the sometimes ‘biting’ wind, then you can catch a good mess of trout generally. Most folks I’ve talked to have been finding them up in all the creeks and deep water. Moving on to other things, The Brantley County Chapter of GHFF is holding a parent/child dove shoot on Saturday, December 13 from 12:30 on over in Hoboken. For more info, contact myself or see the ad in this week’s paper. As always, send questions, comments, stories or pictures to me at
[email protected]. Thanks and go get’em out there!
County all stars notch championship The end of October marked the end of football season for many Brantley County players. But for 22 nine and ten year old boys it marked the beginning of a new season, All Star Season. Boys were chosen from four different teams and were combined to create the Brantley County Mite All Star team. The boys had to adjust to more intense, longer practices, and new coaches and team mates. They worked hard and had only one goal in mind, to be winners. They began the All Star season on, Saturday, November 15 in Patterson where they defeated the Bacon County Raiders with a final score of 19-16. Feeling proud and ready to face even bigger challenges the boys traveled to Brunswick the same day and entered Super Bowl II. Super Bowl II was hosted at the North Glynn Recreation Complex in Brunswick and consisted of seven teams in the ten and under age bracket. Brantleyπs first game was an upset as the Effingham County All Stars defeated the Brantley boys in a 14-0 game. The rain and dreariness outside would not dampen the players spirits as they came back in the second game against the All City Brunswick All Star team with a final score of 28-0. The Super Bowl may have been lost but the best was yet to come. The Ware County Turkey Bowl began on Saturday, November 22 with the Brantley County All Stars defeating the Charlton County Indians 46-0. Coaches Stetson Bennett, Mark Royer, Kasey Knight and Robbie Elkins gathered their team together
after the win and told them they had played a good game, but Monday, November 24 would be the real challenge. Stetson told the boys that previous teams had not been able to advance past the first game. The Brantley County All Stars left Ware County with one wish, to win against the Glynn County Packers on Monday, November 24th. The wish was granted with a 28-0 win against the Glynn County Packers. One more game to win and the boys were headed to the championship. The atmosphere prior to Tuesday’s game was nothing more than intense. Everyone knew that if Brantley defeated the Glynn County Patriots it would pave the way to a game which would be a first for the Brantley County Recreation Department. As the whistle blew, the Heron All Stars began the game with a kick off recovery and quickly scored on the first play of the game. The Herons lined up again to kick off to Glynn. This time the defense only allowed five yards and the Herons took possession on the 20 yard line allowing a second chance to score again. As halftime approached the Heron defense had only allowed less than 100 yards, 80 of which were scored at the bottom of the second quarter as Glynn managed to somehow squeeze past the Heron defense. But this was the only touchdown the Herons would allow. The Herons returned from halftime and finished the game victoriously with final score of 36-6. Players, parents, and coaches were presented with t-shirts after Tuesdayπs game. The t-shirts were adorned with the words "Willing to Pay the Price."
The Governing Authority of the City of Nahunta, does hereby announce the millage rate will be set at a meeting to be held at Nahunta City Hall on Thursday, December 11, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. and pursuant to the requirements of O.C.G.A. 48-5-32, does hereby publish the following presentation of the current year’s tax digest including proposed millage rate and proposed total taxes to be levied along with the history of the past six (6) years.
