family landowners this may mean they must sell land that
has, in some cases, been in the family for generations. For
business landowners, it makes it difficult to operate profitably.
For all landowners, it should be the property owners’ right
to decide when to sell their property or how to use their land
because that is what they choose ‑ not because of financial
pressure from ever-higher taxes.
Amendment 1 protects Georgia’s forests by creating a
conservation-friendly property tax program in exchange for a
commitment from the landowner to keep the land in trees for
at least 15 years. There are considerable financial penalties
for taking land out of the program.
Amendment 1 has very broad support across the state
from elected officials, environmental groups, business leaders
and landowners. It will help conserve Georgia’s forestlands
and continue to provide clean air, water and wildlife habitat.
Amendment 1 will also place Georgia alongside 48 other states
that allow all landowners to participate in a current-use for‑
estland conservation program.
In addition, legislators have required the state to reim‑
burse counties for most, if not all, of any revenue loss result‑
ing from the enrollment in the program so local economies
will not suffer.
Keep Georgia’s forests a beautiful part of our landscape
and a viable part of our economy. Vote "YES" for Amendment
1 on Nov. 4.
(Rashleigh is with the Plum Creek Timber Company.)
Vote No
From page 1
Assembly by general law shall encourage the preservation,
conservation and protection of the state's forest through the
special assessment and taxation of certain forest and assis‑
tance grants to local government." What isn't detailed to the
voter are the provisions of this amendment. The amendment
provides tax relief to for tracts of timberland of 200 acres and
over. Tax assessments are based on a current value if the own‑
ers agree not to develop the land for 15 years.
In essence, it freezes timberland property tax at a reduced
rate. Counties that are strongly affected by this devaluation
of timberland will be compensated by the state government to
make up for the shortfall.
Initially I was in favor of this proposal. But after a short
period of considering the implications, it became apparent
that this has no particular benefits for Brantley and some
large potential pitfalls.
First, I don't see the timber companies or large landown‑
ers developing any tracts of land in Brantley in the near
future. One only needs to ride down 110 or Old 259 to see the
results of the recent development of forest lands.
Planned community after planned community appear
abandoned in what may unravel to be the biggest land boom
and bust since Florida in the thirties. Until these communi‑
ties start to show signs of life, and lots of it, no investor is go‑
ing to step into the same trap that has already cost thousands
of people a significant amount of their life savings.
Brantley's forested lands will remain as they are for the
foreseeable future.
With the current real estate market this is almost surely
true throughout the state. While the bill proposes compensa‑
tion for the affected county's coffers, there are at least two
causes for concern. First, Brantley is a sparsely populated,
relatively poor county a long way from Atlanta.
With other counties clamoring for compensation, Brantley
may be a long way down on the list. Second, our state govern‑
ment is itself, like Brantley, seriously in debt. Why would
anyone in this current economic chaos trust any institution
in financial trouble to pay its debts in the future?
Tax revenues would decrease and Brantley would acceler‑
ate down the steep financial hill we're already rolling down.
The Georgia School Boards Association has already op‑
posed this bill as they fear rural schools would lose valuable
tax base. The bill also offers no benefits to all Georgians as
this is not a land set-aside. While it is titled "conservation use"
the land remains solely in the control of the owner and the
land retains private rights. Hunting and recreational use will
still primarily be by lease.
Read carefully, it becomes apparent while the wording
most voters will read is a bill to protect the state's forests (and
who would vote against that?), in reality this is a tax relief
bill for the paper companies and large landowners who own
tracts in excess of 2000 acres.
Once again the tax breaks are being passed on to the
wealthy and big corporations. They will benefit if Amend‑
ment 1 passes.
Already over-taxed Brantley County will suffer.

Things you need to know
Brantley
County
deserves
better
Forget for the moment that Brant-
ley County Sheriff Robert Thomas
acted illegally when he tried to cover
up a rape charge against the grandson
of the county’s probate court judge.
Forget that he has had multiple
lawsuits filed against him for violation
of the civil rights of prisoners in his jail,
both as a deputy and as sheriff.
Forget that he took absolutely no
action against deputies involved in the
illegal beating of a suspect following a
high speed chase.
And forget that he took no action
against two deputies who witnessed a
Nahunta police officer driving his four-
wheel-drive vehicle through the city’s
oxidation field but drove away without
getting involved.
Forget that he established and has
continued to allow a car wash oper-
ated by inmates at the front door of the
county jail.
Forget all of this, because there’s
really nothing you can do about it.
But please remember that the sher-
iff is costing the county money through
his refusal to comply with requests
from commissioners to rein in the
runaway overtime in his department,
spending well above his budget year
after year with no sign of any change
in the near future.
That’s your money he’s spending
— or overspending, to be more accu-
rate.
And his total lack of fiscal control
also has contributed in no small way to
the county’s current financial crisis.
Thomas has refused to cooperate
with the commissioners in any way,
including cutting back on the number
of overtime hours his staff puts in each
year as well a reducing the regular
hours deputies put in each week.
Down in Camden County, which
also in dire straits, several deputies
have agreed at the sheriff’s request to
take time off without pay to help the
county get though hard times.
As far as we know, Thomas has not
asked for similar sacrifices from his
staff and certainly no one has volun-
teered.
So when you go to the polls next
week, remember that the money spent
on overtime resulting from poor man-
agement of time and resources comes
out of your pocket.

Hey, Sen. Obama:
I am Joe the CEO — and you don’t know me!
By Dan Calabrese
Never mind William Ayers. Barack
Obama believes he has caught John McCain
in a much more damning entanglement:
 “He’s in cahoots with Joe the CEO.”
 Eek. What could be worse than that?
 Clearly not happy with the emergence
of Joe the Plumber on the scene, Obama told
supporters at a rally last week that McCain is
only pretending to care about the interests of
Joe and those of his ilk. Obamatons cheered
in derision when their hero uttered the fol‑
lowing blather:
 “Joe’s cool, I got no problems with Joe.
All I want to do is give Joe a tax cut. But let’s
be clear who John McCain’s fighting for. He’s
not fighting for Joe the Plumber, he’s fighting
for Joe the Hedge Fund Manager. John Mc‑
Cain likes to talk about Joe the Plumber but
he’s in cahoots with Joe the CEO.”
 Let’s talk about Joe the CEO. Obama
doesn’t know as much about him as he thinks
he does. First, it’s been estimated that there
are five million Americans with the title of
CEO. As it happens, I’m one of them. My
business has experienced many twists and
turns and dips and dives over the course of
nine years, and I am very far from rich. But
during those years I’ve paid out a lot in pay‑
roll, in taxes, in equipment rentals, in office
rent – did I mention taxes? – and in health
insurance premiums for employees as well as
myself.
 I’ve taken in a lot, and I’ve spent pretty
much all of it on the aforementioned items.
During most of the years our company has
been in business, we made more than $250,000.
That would have qualified me as rich accord‑
ing to Obama’s concept of America. That is a
joke. The more money we were making, the
more people and things we needed to sustain
the business at the level to which it had
grown. If we thought we were on a revenue-
growth trajectory, and we made investments
to reflect that, we had to pray we hadn’t
guessed wrong or we would be in trouble.
 All of this is fine, by the way. It’s life in
the big city for a CEO. I could have aban‑
doned it any time I wanted and gone out
and gotten a job working for someone else. I
haven’t and I won’t. I may yet realize fabulous
rewards for all this hard work, but I know
there’s a chance I won’t, and I’m OK with that.
 Now if I were to approach Barack Obama

The perfect costume
Halloween is one of the most anxious
times for kids. Oh, not because of all the
ghosts and goblins and witches and monsters
and all that. But because they have to a make
a decision. And not any decision, mind you.
One that’s so important that, if wrong, it
could ruin their playground image for the
rest of the school year: choosing the right
Halloween costume.
In fact, as a service to new parents out
there, I thought I’d let you know that kids in
the elementary-aged crowd have very specific
rules and regulations on Halloween costume
choosing. The top five are:
1. A costume should be sufficiently
unique to stand out in the crowd, but not so
unique that people can’t tell what you are.
2. Never, under any circumstances, wear
the same costume two years in a row. Howev‑
er, you can wear someone else’s old costume
as long as they live in another town, several
hundred miles away, preferably somewhere
in Guam.
3. Do not try to pass off your child’s soc‑
cer uniform as a costume. This doesn’t fool
anyone.
4. The eyeholes in your mask should not
be so big that people will know it’s you in
there. However, the eyeholes must not be so
small that you keep running into annoying
things like, say, cars and the sides of build‑
ings.
5. After first grade, no whimsy of any
kind is acceptable. This includes dinosaurs,
cartoon characters, and any costume with
wings.
And then, if this isn’t enough, there are
the accessories to consider. Does the costume

MOMENT
BY BOB BATZ
Energy a breakfast away
 
I was eating breakfast the other day when
I found myself reading the cereal box that
was sitting on the table in front of me.
 You see, I’m a devout reader.
WWW.BRANTLEYENTERPRISE.COM • 912-462-6776 • PO BOX 454 NAHUNTA GA 31553 • MAIN ST
V I E W P O I N T S
come with a set of fangs? A magic wand?
Any sort of a gadget? Of course with girls,
glittery shoes are a plus. So are pom-poms,
bridal veils, and fancy hats. Boys prefer more
realistic accessories like rubber bats, giant
fake eyeballs, or anything that can be used as
a light saber. These are the crucial things that
you must consider before committing.
Now, I don’t have to point out that one
of the problems with choosing a Halloween
costume is that, every year, there are only a
few costumes on this planet that meet this
strict criteria. And they are snapped up way
back in August, almost the very second they
hit the rack.
So, you’d think, knowing this, that I’d
have always shopped early. You’d think.
But, I admit, I’m more the type of person
who likes surprises. Each year around mid-
October, I suddenly look up and realize that
Halloween is coming, and then I wander willy-
nilly into the closest store to see what’s left.
Once there, I’m faced with the usual choices:
a clown mask, maybe a cowboy hat or two, or
a straggly fairy princess costume with wings.
Now, on the surface, this may not seem
like such a good system. But, as shocking
as it may seem, over the years I’ve come to
realize that this method is much better than
you think.
Because the second biggest problem
with Halloween costumes is that you can’t
buy them too early because most children
change their minds about what they want
to be at least 18 bazillion times. Sometimes
more. Chances are, by the time October rolls
around, they’ve traded in swords for karate
belts, and halos for pitchforks; meanwhile, all
of the good fake jewelry is lost somewhere in
the sandbox and Cinderella’s tiara is living
upstairs, doubling as a Barbie hot tub.
In short, they would’ve ended up with the
very same kind of costume as the ones left on
the rack in October. Except, chances are, back
then you would’ve paid full price.
It’s like what my friend Julie always says,
“There’s just no easy way around it. You just
learn to work the system and hope for the
best.”
Sometimes that’s all you can do.
 Oh, sure, I read the usual things like
books and magazines. But in addition to
those publications, I’m also obsessed with
reading clothing labels, matchbook covers,
soup cans, cereal boxes, road signs, grave‑
stones and bumper stickers.   
 I don’t know why I read so many things.
Maybe it has something to do with my 50-plus
years in the newspaper business.
 Just in case you haven’t noticed, the plots
on clothing labels, soup cans and what-have-
you usually aren’t anything to write home
about, but I read ‘em anyway.

Office love for you
 
There’s nothing like office love. Crazy,
unbridled, we-must-find-the-janitor’s-closet-
right-now love.
 I wouldn’t know. Actually I did date a
coworker once. I was 22, and we were both
so paranoid about it, that we didn’t tell a
soul until after one of us found another job.
Besides, it was a hockey arena and the only
thing close to a janitor’s closet was a smelly
locker room.
Nonetheless, today – 15 years into my
career – I realized something about myself. I
use the word “love” at work a lot. This was
pointed out to me by a less, well, dramatic
coworker. One of those “everything is black
or white” types. We’d just finished a hallway
conversation and I proclaimed my love for
Matt, a coworker who makes me laugh, is
creative and who gets me and how I work.
 She gave me a weird look.
 I felt the need to follow this up with, “As
we used to say in junior high break-up letters,
I don’t love him like that!” It’s like a brother-
sister love. Or good friend love.
 And I’m just not afraid to say it.
 I’ve never been one of those black and
white types. I see pink hearts floating over
my calendar before certain meetings about
projects about which I’m passionate. I get the
urge – although I can usually fight it – to hug
people I work with. I’ve even been known to
tell people that there were fireworks in my
brain after a presentation that got me all
jazzed up.
 So I get excited about people and projects.
Why not? Too many times, it’s easy to focus
on the negative aspects of the workplace. To
caught my eye.
 Those words – no surprise here – touted
the merits of that particular brand of cereal
with a picture of a woman and a listing of the
activities she is involved in during a typical
day. The message, of course, was that this
particular woman had the energy to do many,
many cool things because she ate that cereal.
 What kinds of activities did this cereal
box woman have planned for her day, you
ask? Well, according to the message on the
box, she would attend a baby shower, pick the
kids up from school, go to a garage sale, swap
car pools with a neighbor, take Jenny (her
daughter, I assume) to the doctor, have her
husband’s business partner over to dinner,

vent to a friend about not being able to read
the minds of leaders. Or about not getting
point 6.2.A on the strategic plan because you
thought the company was going to focus this
year. Or about why – for the life of you – you
can’t figure out why people still think free
lunch equals instant employee morale.
 I say, it’s good to have entire weeks where
you just forget all that. It’s sort of doing one
of those liver cleanses every quarter or so.
It’s really hard. You feel slightly depraved
of your normal routine. You’re never sure
you’re going to make it through. And if
you’re me, you don’t. You give up after three
or four days, but at least you got a half
cleanse.
 So, I have decided that when the weather
changes, I will do a cubicle-dweller’s cleanse.
This past week, Michigan went from fall to
freeze. And I went from criticism to complete
content.
 For one thing, I do love a lot of people I
work with (sorry, Matt, I have multiple work
loves). I love Marsha, who faithfully stops by
my office to ask about my dad (he has cancer)
because she really cares. I love Andy, who
is competitive like me, and refuses to miss a
deadline or let people down. I love Jeff, who
has 10 kids at home and still somehow man‑
ages to bring energy to every single meeting
– no matter how mundane.
 I even love most of the projects I work on,
for no other reason than they teach me some‑
thing brand new every day. Just last week,
while working with a technical consultant on
a project I thought would be boring, I learned
the phrase “hard stop.” I had no idea I could
tell people, “I have a ‘hard stop’ on this meet‑
ing at 2:30.”
 Before, I’d use boring, non-technical
phrases like, “I have to leave the meeting at
5:00 to go pick up my kids.” Now, I can just say,
“I have a hard stop on this meeting.” People
– like I was – will be impressed. I don’t have to
give a reason. I said hard stop. You can’t roll
through a stop sign when a cop is behind you,
and you can’t make my meeting last until 5:03.
 I gotta tell you. I love it!

Brantley clobbered by
weakened Charlton Co.
Charlton County may be at their weakest
point in many years, but they still had enough
talent to send the Herons packing as they
chalked up a 53-14 win. Heron defenders try
to stop an Indian runner, left, and Ron Tindall
goes up for the ball, right. But action on the
sidelines threatened to steal the spotlight
as fans reported that the father of quarter-
back Skylar Kersey came onto the field and
lambasted head coach Sean Pender. A law
enforcem ent official reportedly had to step
in to prevent an altercation. Kersey shouted
criticisms of the coaching staff during much
of the game. Some say he was expressing
the frustration they all feel with back-to-back
losing seasons which many blame on the
coaching staff.

An icon of Halloween, bats get bad rap

With Halloween coming
up, the time is ripe for super‑
stitious fears and negative
myths about bats, in part
because of the creatures’
unusual habits and appear‑
ance. Some people panic at
the thought of a bat in their
home. But others know that
bats are for the most part
harmless and fascinating.
“Though some still fear
bats, many people are real‑
izing the benefits of these
species greatly outweigh any
threats,” said Trina Mor‑
ris, a wildlife biologist with
the Georgia Department of
Natural Resources’
Wildlife Resources Divi‑
sion. “The risk of contract‑
ing rabies from a bat is very
small. However, bats have a
very positive impact on our
environment.”
Small insectivorous bats
like the species found in
Georgia can eat more than
1,000 mosquito‑sized insects
in an hour. Other species
of bats around the world
serve important roles as
pollinators of crops such as
bananas and mangoes.
Georgia is home to 16 bat
species, all of which seek a
sheltered roost during the
day and emerge at night
to eat flying insects such
as moths, mosquitoes and
beetles. Some species, such
as the gray bat and South‑
eastern myotis, depend upon
suitable caves for roosting.
Others, such as big brown
bats and evening bats, are
