SKEETERS The bugs you love to hate are back!

The Georgia Department of Human Resources, Division of Public Health reminds individuals across the state to take precautions against West Nile Virus (WNV) as experts begin mosquito surveillance and testing for arboviral diseases. It is during surveillance that experts typically find viruses (such as West Nile and LaCrosse Encepha-litis) in mosquitoes that can be transmitted to humans. Last year, the Division of Public Health confirmed more than 52 human cases of West Nile virus across Georgia - including one death. No human cases have been confirmed for the current year.

“We want individuals across Georgia to start protecting themselves against West Nile virus now,” said Dr. Sandra Elizabeth Ford, acting direc-tor of the Division of Public Health. “Even if resi-dents do not believe mosquitoes are biting, we still encourage them to wear repellant anytime they are outside to safeguard against this virus. We do not want Georgians to wait until we have confirmed a human case of West Nile virus to begin wearing repellant. Prevention is the key here.”

WNV usually infects birds, but it can be spread to humans by mosquitoes that feed on infected birds and then bite humans. Most people bitten

by infected mosquitoes do not get sick. Less than 1 percent of people infected with WNV develop serious illness such as encephalitis or paralysis. People who have chronic medical conditions are at greater risk of developing severe illness if infected with WNV.

Those who do get sick from WNV often suffer a mild flu-like illness and recover without treat-ment. In rare cases, WNV can cause serious illness such as encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord). These severe cases, which are more likely to occur in people aged 50 or older, may be fatal.

The most common mosquito-borne viruses that circulate in Georgia every year include Eastern Equine Encephalitis, West Nile and La Crosse viruses. Mosquito-borne viruses are most active late spring through early fall in Georgia. Increased numbers of human cases are normally detected in August.While there is no vaccine and no treatment toprotect people from WNV infection, there are steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of infection.

The Brantley County Board of Commisioners Tuesday approved eight cost effective strategies to help downsize spending presented by the county manager and staff, who estimated that if the county continues to spend at its current rate officials will have to borrow nearly another $98,000 in addition to the $3 million credit line to make it through the year.

The first strategy is for county departments to switch to a four 10-hour day workweek rather than five 8-hour days for its employees to eliminate constant overtime. County manager Chuck Madray suggested that the offices that are required to be open from 9-5 Monday through Friday have part of their staff work from 8-6 Monday through Thursday and the other part Tuesday through Friday. This would allow for the extra time to complete office work without over-time. Madray also stated that the road department has already gone to the 4 day schedule, and that not all departments — such as public safety — would be able to do so.

Other strategies included instructing department heads and requesting constitutional officers to eliminate all overtime except the minimum required for public safety, stop all capital outlay spending without approval, stop all building maintenance without approval, purchase only minimal supplies for duties, and eliminate all travel and training except what is required for mandatory certifications.

And last, but not least, the strat-egy of energy conservation which requires that all lights, computers, copiers, etc. be turned off in all county offices when closed, and that the thermostats not be set lower than 76 degrees in the summer or higher than 70 degrees in the winter.

If spending cannot be cut, the only option will be to cut services and employees.

The governors’ office sent a memorandum to all counties in Georgia stating that “due to the projected $1.6 billion shortfall, the reimbursement to local govern-ments for the Homestead Tax Relief Grants (HTRG) will be withheld until revenues improve or the legis-lature meets in January”. The letter sent to the county states that coun-

Special to the Enterprise

While temperatures continue to rise this summer, the Ameri-can Red Cross reports that the blood inventory levels are so low it is unable to sufficiently meet the demand of local hospitals. While there is a constant need for all blood types, donors with O positive, O negative, A nega-tive and B negative blood types

are asked to take an hour to donate right away.

And they’ll have an opportunity to do that in Nahunta this week.

Nahunta Baptist Church has

scheduled a blood drive today from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m.

It is especially crucial for donors with type O blood donate within the next few days. Type O is the most com-mon blood type and is used extensively by hospitals. Type O blood donors are considered universal donors because their

Three simple steps to prevent mosquito bites:• Avoid outdoor activity at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most

active. Dress appropriately when outdoors for long periods of time or when mosquitoes are most active.

• Use insect repellant with an EPA-approved active ingredient such as DEET, Picaridin or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus. Always follow the directions on the package for safest and most effective use.

• Areas with standing water are locations where mosquitoes will lay eggs. Get rid of or treat standing water with larvicides. Dump out contain-ers such as recycling bins, empty fl ower pots and other containers that may collect water. Change water in birdbaths or small wading pools at least once a week.

BloodFrom page 1

blood can be given to most other blood types in emergencies when there is no time to type a patient’s blood. Hospitals commonly experience an increase in traumas during the summer, making the need for type O blood even greater.

“While enjoying summer activities, people often forget that the need for blood is constant,” says Randy Edwards, chief executive offi cer, American Red Cross Southern Blood Services Region. “Blood donations always decline during the summer months, but blood is used to treat area hospital patients every day. Patients depend on the generous donations of others to receive the life-saving blood they need.”

In the summer, blood shortages are common because donations decrease, along with the number of organizations that will sponsor blood drives. The absence of high school and college blood drives factors largely into the annual drop in donations because these drives account for approxi-mately 25 percent of all donations in the Southern Region.

“We want to make the donation process as convenient as possible for those who take time out of their day to help save lives. In order to avoid long waits at our donor centers and blood drives, we ask that donors call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE or visit www.redcrossblood.org to make appointments to give blood,” adds Edwards.

The American Red Cross Southern Blood Services Region needs ap-proximately 1,200 people to donate blood each weekday to meet the needs of hospital patients. Most people who are age 17 or older and weigh at least 110 pounds are eligible to give blood every 56 days. There is no substitute for blood, and the only source is from volunteer donors.

The American Red Cross distributes blood to more than 130 hospitals throughout the Southern Region.

BOCFrom page 1

ties might not see reimbursement until March, if they do at all. It is possible that the legislature will suspend the HTRG for 2008, which

would cause a $500,000 shortfall in county revenues for 2009. Legally, the county has to put the HRTG on the tax bills this year, but if the HRTG is suspended they will have to make up for the lost revenue by either raising taxes or adding the 2008 credit onto the 2009 tax bills next year.

The board unanimously agreed to stop the effort to privatize EMS at the request of director Tim Crews who said that he has talked to two companies, one that would be more expensive than the current service and another that wasn’t interested in contracting with the county. Crews said that he has had a paramedic slot open for two years and he can’t fi ll it, and he’s afraid if privatization keeps being brought up, his employees will take jobs elsewhere.

David Smith presented the annual Georgia Forestry report which stated that Brantley had 57 wildfi res in the last year caused by 26 light-ning strikes, 11 incendiary, 10 from burning debris, seven from machine use, and three by children. The county’s average fi re size was 14.56 acres, much larger than the state average of 4.54 acres. They issued 4,732 burn permits, plowed 227.4 miles of fi re breaks for 43 land owners, prescribe burned 662 acres for 15 landowners, worked 177 fi res, and sold 19,682 seed-lings for reforestation with six personnel, three transports, four plows, and other equipment.

The 5 percent fee that is added to court fi nes for the local victim assis-tance fund that is given to the district attorney’s offi ce which a portion of which is given to the Magnolia House for abused woman and children, may be given directly to the Magnolia House at the September commissioners meeting. The Magnolia House recently received the certifi cation to be able to receive those funds and has approached the county requesting that they donate the 5% directly to them and them for use for only Brantley resi-dents. The board tabled the decision to gather more information and talk to both the Magnolia House and the district attorney’s offi ce to see which would better benefi t those in need of the service.

The board denied Matthew McGrath’s request for the county to support a septage land disposal site permit for 15 acres of land on Slab Branch Road off of Caney Bay Road in Hickox. McGrath owns a septic tank busi-ness in Waynesville and currently takes the sludge from the tanks to the treatment facility in Brunswick. The permit he requested would allow him to dump the sludge on top of the ground in the 15 acres he purchased, but the county would have to send a letter in support of the permit with McGrath’s application to the Environmental Protection Agency in Atlanta for it to be approved. Commissioner Summerlin expressed, with a cheering audience, that he doesn’t want to see any such permit approved in Brantley

County.In other business, the board took the following actions:Approved an increase in health department fees.• Renewed the contract with the juvenile offenders services.• Appointed Dorothy Justice to Dept. of Family and Children

Services board.• Appointed Sharon Morgan and Linda Murrell to the oversight

committee.• Appointed Jamey O’Steen and Gene Murrell to the planning

commission.•Awarded Joe Dixon Construction the bid for the construc-

tion of the offi ce building at the new recreation park at a cost of $160,691.

• Awarded the bid to Charles H. Tomberlin at $2,500 for the sur-veying services at the new recreation park.

• Accepted an additional 10 feet of right of way on each side of Happy Hollow from Ryker Carter, which brings the right of way

to 60 feet which he has agreed to clear and dig ditches to county specifi ca-tions.

• Approved $40,700 from SPLOST funds to have the grinder installed at the new jail site as required by the City of Nahunta.

• Agreed to meet with Massee Builders on Thursday to walk through the jail for inspection before agreeing to the certifi cate of substantial comple-tion, which says Massee will fi nish over 40 corrections that need to be made while releasing them from insurance liability of the building.

• Agreed to add the new jail onto the county’s existing insurance policy since it is nearing completion.

• Agreed to contract with the Ware State Prison work detail for 2009 at a cost of $39,500, for workers who work 5 days a week excluding holidays

Russia invades Georgia, and Americans see Boogeymen once again

By Eric Baerren

Here is a question – do people miss the Cold War so much they need to see enemies under every rock?

That’s the question that comes to mind after watching reaction to Russia’s invasion of Georgia. In some circles – admittedly mostly conservative ones – the invasion has been taken as proof positive that a new Cold War is dawning upon us. Russia is flexing its muscles, a sure sign that ultimately it plans to bring down ruin upon the United States.

It’s a natural reaction to the Russians stretching their muscles. For many Ameri-cans, the Russians – then the Soviets – were our mortal enemy, the Joker to our Batman. Old habits die hard, and one of the hardest to die is the assumption that old enemies are always out to get you.

After the Russians stopped being the Soviets, it meant the end of five decades of simmering tensions. There were no more bo-geymen worthy of the worldwide stage. The more paranoid tried like mad to find him, and along the fringes they suggested that it was Saddam Hussein and not Timothy McVeigh who bombed the Murrah building in Okla-homa City.

The Chinese for awhile seemed tailor-made for the role. They were a rising econom-ic power, and bellicose enough when it came to U.S. ally Taiwan. There was a naval stand-off in the late ’90s over Taiwan. At the same time some of the more paranoid suggested that Bill Clinton’s promise to fulfill the treaty obliging us to return the Panama Canal to the Panamanians would land it in the hands of Chinese agents and made Clinton a traitor.

Not long after, when an American spy plane clipped the wings of a Chinese fighter over the South China Sea, resulting tensions sparked what appeared to be the imminent emergence of a full-fledged, Cold War-style grudge.

Then, 21 hijackers gave us an even better target.

For the better part of the last seven years, it’s been the Muslim world that has played the role of chief antagonist. Terror-ism became not a tactic for extremists, but a tool for an entire culture to wage a shadow war against the West. Iraq became not just a bungled adventure in search of oil reserves, but the spear point at which we would wage war on a Muslim culture through a war of ideas. We must win because failure to do so would mean the death of all that we know and love.

That, unfortunately, crashed on the rocks

and shoals of reality. Iraq turned out to be the bungled adventure it always was, and nation-building in Afghanistan turned out to be a great deal more difficult and tricky than any-one imagined. Muslims wouldn’t desert their Muslim ways simply because we showed up, for all to admire and respect.

Enter the Russians and Georgia last week. You can say a lot of things about Rus-sia’s response to Georgia’s incursion into its separatist region. Perhaps the one that comes most to mind is horribly disproportionate. Acting on a U.N. mandate to keep the peace, the Russians responded with a full-scale invasion, a naval blockade and regular air strikes that at one point had Georgian presi-dent Mikhail Shasakavelli thinking he was dodging bombs as he ran across a courtyard. Disproportionate it was, but evidence of a global menace on the rise?

What say we start with baby steps, like with Russia expressing its interests region-ally? Flush with oil money, Russia’s interests in the region are clear. Rising American influ-ence on Russia’s southern doorstep threaten them, and a pro-West Georgia on track for membership in NATO means a permanent thorn in its side.

This is hardly the stuff of revolution, at least any related to Bolshevism. This is the kind of thinking that gave us the Monroe Doctrine, not the boogeyman.

Why don’t politicians court Amish vote?By Rev. James L. Snyder

This is an election year as if we are not

reminded of this fact every day of our lives. Our politicians are on the lookout for groups to persuade them to vote for them this elec-tion. In their quest for that all-important vote, they have overturned every rock to build up their voting capital.

However, it seems to me that these politi-cians are overlooking very important group of people. I am referring of course to the Amish. I have yet to see a politician court the vote of these God-fearing people.

As I was thinking about this, I was won-dering how these worldly politicians could ap-peal to this group of people. In this particular muse of mind, I conjured up something of what may take place. Our humble politicians are quite eager to have such people groups understand their position and how they can be of benefit to the people listening to them.

Let us take our average politician, if the word average can be applied to any politi-cian living or dead, and we will call him Joe. I do not know why we will call him Joe, it is not his real name but it will do for our little experiment.

Politician Joe addresses his Amish crowd by saying this, “I am your politician of change. I believe in change. And I will do everything in my power to change things.”

The Amish Bishop: “But sir, with all due respect our religion forbids change. We have not changed our way of living for hundreds of years. We absolutely could not vote for change.”

Undaunted by this rebuff, Politician Joe plows on, “That’s fine, very fine. I have a plan to help with your Social Security. I will do ev-erything in my power to save Social Security

and increase your benefits.” The Amish Bishop: “What is this Social

Security you speak of, sir?” “Aha,” Politician Joe sighs, “this is when

you retire the government will pay you ben-efits and every month you will get it checked from the government. You won’t have to worry about anything in your old age.”

The Amish Bishop: “We don’t believe in your Social Security, we take care of our own people. We do not need any handouts from the government.”

It is obvious Politician Joe does not have a good handle on his audience. In spite of his sheer ignorance, he continues as though he has a good grip on reality.

Politician Joe: “Let me tell you my plans to improve the public education in this country.”

The Amish Bishop: “Sir, before you tell us your plans let me just say we do not be-lieve in the public education system. We have our own schools and we teach our children what they need to know.”

Politician Joe: “Your children do not at-tend public school?”

The Amish Bishop: “No, sir. We do not trust the government to teach our children. We know what our children need to learn and we teach them that. Let me ask you one ques-tion, sir. In these public schools you boast of, does each class start out with Bible reading and prayer?”

Politician Joe: “In our public educa-tion system we do not allow any religion or any mention of God. It is against our policy. Religion is not important to the education of children.”

The Amish Bishop: “We could not permit our children to attend your public schools if they don’t allow Bible reading and prayer. These things are very important to our way of life.”

Politician Joe is scratching his head in complete bewilderment. Up to this point, he has been able to say things to satisfy every people group. Then he hits upon something

that promises to be a surefire hit. Politician Joe: “I know you have been see-

ing on television about the high price of gas. I have a plan...”

The Amish Bishop: “Sir, what is televi-sion? These things are not part of our culture. None of our homes have electricity.”

Politician Joe: “You don’t have electric-ity? And you don’t have television? How do you know what’s going on in the world?”

The Amish Bishop: “We know what’s going on in our world and that’s all that really matters to us.”

Politician Joe: “But I have a great plan to reduce the price of gas.”

The Amish Bishop: “What’s gas?” Politician Joe: “You folks don’t use gas

for your automobiles?” The Amish Bishop: “Our horse and

buggies get us where we need to go and if you have a plan to reduce the cost of oats we might be interested in listening to you. How about this, Votes for Oats. Then we might be interested in what you have to say.”

Every politician wants everybody to be-lieve they know what is best for the audience.

“I know your pain,” the politician says with a great deal of arrogance. They want us, the voting public, to believe they can handle our affairs when in fact, they cannot handle their own affairs.

Speaking primarily of church leader-ship, the apostle Paul lays down a firm rule for leadership. “One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)” (1 Timothy 3:4-5 KJV).

If a person cannot handle his own house, how can he handle the White House?

Illegal alien and amnesty supporters recently reacted harshly to a new report (Homeward Bound) released by the Wash-ington based think tank called the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS.org). Illegal alien advocates were caught off guard and tried to claim the bad economy is the sole factor leading to a reversal of illegal immigration in America, others claimed the study was not based on factual data.

Today, ALIPAC.us is releasing sample news stories collected in its extensive archives, which proves through media reports that enforcement measures send illegal aliens to other areas, as well as back to their home nations.

These articles are only a small fraction of the information gathered by ALIPAC that shows a reversal in illegal immigration.

“Illegal aliens are leaving because of increased enforcement combined with the bad economy and decline of the dollar,” says William Gheen of ALIPAC.

“These twenty articles illustrate that very clearly.”

ALIPAC’s platform has been proven correct. It simply states “enforce our existing immigration laws, crack down on employers, cut off taxpayer benefits, and empower local police and the illegals will leave.”

ALIPAC believes that these new find-ings will reshape the illegal immigration debate in America.

The study and articles confirm that America’s illegal immigration crisis has been caused by the under enforcement of our existing immigration laws.

Again thank you for your support and

VOTE CHUCK SCOTTDEMOCRAT FOR

COUNTY COMMISSION CHAIRMAN

If you have any questions call 286-5978 or come by my house and I’ll be glad to answer your questions.

Hoarders vs. free spiritsWhen it comes to life’s little necessities,

there are two different kinds of people in the world: Those who have 36 spare boxes of Kleenex, three dozen rolls of toilet paper, and a bazillion cans of tuna fi sh stacked in their cupboards because “it was on sale” – and those who prefer to go through life buying things as they go, one-at-a-time full price.

I, myself, always have been a more fl y-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of girl, mindlessly moving through the day, never quite knowing where my next box of tissue will be coming from. Not that there’s anything wrong with this, mind you, but I fi nd this particularly strange because I come from a long line of hoarders. In fact, shocking as it may seem, my mother never had to desperately drive to the grocery store in the middle of the night in her robe and bunny slippers to buy a bottle of acetaminophen for a sick child at home. Not even once.

My husband, as you might expect, doesn’t fully appreciate my way of life.

“Do you know how much money we’d save,” he said to me one day, “if you bought a case of laundry detergent rather than just one box at a time?”

“A lot,” I said. “That is if it sticks around long enough to use. But what if there’s, say, a fl ash fl ood or a tornado? Or what if a dingy robber breaks into our house and steals all one hundred and twenty-fi ve boxes of Tide with Bleach Alternative before we have a chance to do that much laundry? Just how much money would we save then? Huh?

HUH?”I could tell by the look on his face that he

was no match for such airtight, intellectual reasoning.

Now there are some of you are shaking your heads and wondering how I can possibly go through my life with this one day-at-a-time sort of attitude. Others of you are sitting there wondering if I have any Q-tips and, if so, can I possibly mail you a few to hold you over until the next time you happen to make it to the store. (And you know who you are).

But, let me just stop right here and say that, as a group, non-hoarders are grossly misunderstood. It’s not like we’re lazy or irresponsible or anything like that. But, face it, there’s a certain thrill to “pushing the envelope” so to speak. That is, if we had one.

But I think we all know what’s really going on here. My theory is that everybody hoards something it’s just that some things are more obvious than other.

And not only that, you certain can tell a lot about a person by the types of things they stockpile. I mean top psychologists and women’s magazines have done actual studies on this. For example, my friend Julie has over 42 boxes of Dixie cups in her garage which, I suspect, means that she has either has deep-rooted feeling of emptiness or she’s really, really thirsty. My friend Sue’s cache of microwave popcorn means she’s feeding an inner hunger. And my friend Linda’s obses-sion with stocking up on toilet paper probably means something so twisted and awful that I would pay good money not to fi nd out what that might be.

Oh, sure, one day I might change my ways. But now I have better things to do with my time than buying cotton balls a bazillion at a time. I am, after all, a renegade—a free spirit who isn’t tethered by material necessities.

That is, just as soon as I get back from the store with a new tube of toothpaste.

Unless, of course, you have some I can borrow.

It’s good to be a catI try to be like my cat at work.Nola is dependable, doing the exact same

things at the exact same time every day. She crawls next to my head in bed about 20 min-utes before the alarm goes off, so as to offer me a gentler awakening.

As for me, I get into the offi ce at least 30 minutes before anyone else, so that I can offer myself a calmer ease into my hectic day.

She eats at 6:45 every morning. I get my coffee at exactly 7:45 every morning.

Clearly, we are both creatures of habit, but more important is her general attitude about the chaos that surrounds her. After all, there are two boys under the age of two in our house who are absolutely obsessed with her. They think she’s way cooler than Elmo, even. And they constantly want her to pay attention to them. The oldest gets right in her face and meows. The youngest rolls across the bed, arms fl ailing, until he gets to her.

And Nola stays in one place.She is unfl appable. She gives them their

10 minutes of attention, then quietly sneaks away, under the spare room bed, not to be seen again for a few hours.

I do the same thing. I have a high toler-ance for chaos, and for people who e-mail or approach me with a different problem every day. I devote the time needed to help to the best of my ability, and then retire to my desk for a few hours. I can handle chaos to a point, but like Nola, I need to hide for a little while afterwards. I need recovery time.

Nola isn’t entirely friendly to everyone. She can tell who the “cat people” are, and will approach them, but isn’t desperate enough for attention to request it from just anyone.

At work, I like to fl y a little under the radar. When I need information, I manage to get it without knocking on too many doors. When I think I need to complain to my boss, I wait a couple of days, and 90 percent of the time, decide it’s not worth it. When I’m upset at someone for not considering how their unilateral decision impacts my team, I blow them off as them not being “cat people” and move on.

Nola hates going to the vet like I hate cre-ating Power Points. As soon as we both know this is coming, we get our claws and teeth out and curse. Then, we resort to “if I pretend this isn’t happening, maybe it will go away,” behavior. Nola doesn’t look at me. I avoid eye contact with the Power Point requester and consider faking the need to rush to another meeting. That strategy? Also a complete failure.

In the end, we accept our fate and make the best of it by daydreaming. She’s probably going at a scratching pole when she closes her eyes at the vet. As for me, while I insert text boxes and attempt to bullet point what’s typically pointless, I’m really lounging in an Adirondack chair at the beach, kids playing beside me, hubby bringing me a pina colada.

Most of the time, Nola’s as laid back as I am. She views the kids, the television, our guests, as entertainment, much like I view the corporate world as it swirls around me. But when there is a mouse in our house, look out. She will not shut one eye, sit still for one second, retract her claws even to walk across the kitchen tile – until she catches it.

And when someone at work blames or disrespects my team when I know we’ve done everything in our power, I can be the same way.

Stuffed animal donationsRobin McDaniel of Brantley Office Supply recently distributed over 150 donated stuffed animals to the public safety agencies of Brantley County. McDaniel had placed donation boxes at the Piggly Wiggly in Nahunta and the Satilla Dollar in Atkinson over the last month asking for the donation of new stuff animals for first responders. The animals will be used by the agencies for children whom they respond to during an emergency to help make the children feel safe in the responders care. Pictured left to right are Henry Edwards (WVFD), Robin McDaniel, C.L. Lewis (HWVFD), Maureen Orr (EMS), Judy Smith (EMS), Ken Lee (NVFD Inc.), Michelle Lartz (NVFD), Brenda Crosby (EMS), Jeremy Brooker (BCSO), and Craig Harden (EMS).

Heritage offers Depositors with more than $100,000 no longer have to go to differ-ent banks to be covered by Federal deposit insurance.

With an innovative service – the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service or CDARS – The Heritage Bank can provide a customer up to $50 mil-lion in Federal deposit insurance.

“This is one-stop shopping,” says Heri-tage president and CEO James M. Floyd Jr.

“Having CDARS at our bank allows us to satisfy customer demand for safety and convenience. In effect, a risk free investment, it is a smart option to help customers manage their money.”

In 1980, Congress set FDIC coverage

limits at $100,000 per account. Inflation over the past 26 years has eroded more than half the value of that coverage.

How does CDARS work? Through a sophisticated

computer network, The Heritage Bank places cli-

ent funds among other FDIC-insured banks, allowing clients to manage all their funds through one portfolio at Heritage. Clients benefit from the ease of working

with only one institu-tion and receiving only

one statement.The Heritage Bank

operates 29 branches and 37 ATMs throughout Southeast

Georgia. Branch offices are located in Blackshear, Waycross, Nahunta, Jesup, and Brunswick.

Although Georgia is for-tunate to have an abundance and variety of wildlife for citizens and visitors to enjoy, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Resources Division encour-ages everyone, especially children, to enjoy observing wildlife, but to never pick up or touch them.

It is safer for the animal and for people — such as in the recent exposure of rabies in a coastal Georgia county where seven people are now undergoing expensive medi-cal treatments.

“Wildlife is wild, and is not meant to be in a home

- these are not dogs, cats or other animals that have had thousands of years of domesticating,” says Game Management Assistant Chief Rusty Garrison. “You are

putting your family, neigh-bors and others at risk by interacting with wildlife

- especially in the cases of a diseased animal.”

Wildlife can carry para-sites such as roundworms, lice, fleas and ticks and sometimes can transmit life-threatening diseases such as rabies. The most common wildlife carriers of rabies are raccoons, skunks, bats, foxes and coyotes.

Residents who encounter a seriously injured animal or an animal that clearly has been orphaned should contact a certified wildlife rehabilitator who is licensed to provide proper care for the animal until it can be released back into the wild. Individuals who are not trained in wildlife rehabilita-tion should not attempt to

care for wildlife. Georgia law prohibits the possession of most wildlife without a permit. A list of licensed rehabilitators can be found at www.georgiawildlife.com (select “Permits and Other Services” then “Wildlife Rehabilitator List”).

Residents who encounter an animal such as a bat, fox, skunk, raccoon, coyote or bobcat during the daytime, or one that appears to show no fear of humans or dogs, or that seems to behave in a sick or abnormal manner (i.e. weaving, drooling, etc.), should avoid the animal and contact the local county health office and/or a WRD office for guidance. The animal may be afflicted with rabies, distemper or another disease. Residents should not attempt to feed or

handle the sick animal. Pets, livestock and humans should be kept away from the area in which the animal was observed.

The two most important steps people can take to protect themselves and their pets from rabies is to get pets vaccinated and avoid contact with wildlife. As another precautionary step, adults should instruct children to never bring wildlife home.

Squirrel season opens Friday

Whether still, stalk or squirrel dog hunting is your prefer-ence, the beginning of squirrel season is just around the corner. Often revered as a celebrated American fall tradition, squirrel hunting provides the perfect opportunity to intro-duce youth or a novice to the sport of hunting. Unlike some big game hunts, the pursuit of bushytails often involves more action for energetic youth, providing a greater level of inter-action with the outdoors.

Beginning August 15, 2008 and lasting through February 28, 2009, hunters can pursue both gray and fox squirrels. The maximum daily bag limit is 12 per hunter.

“Prior to the successful restoration of white-tailed deer, pursuing squirrels in the fall was a significant cultural tradi-tion in Georgia,” says John Bowers, Wildlife Resources Divi-sion assistant chief of Game Management. “Squirrel hunting can provide one of our best opportunities to introduce the younger generation to hunting and instill in them our respon-sibilities to wildlife conservation. Additionally, it’s fun, less expensive and provides constant action.”

Squirrel hunting, especially with squirrel dogs such as feists, terriers and curs, is a great way to introduce youth to hunting and the outdoors. In terms of number of hunters and harvest, squirrels are the second most pursued small game species in Georgia, behind doves.

Georgia’s Wildlife Management Areas offer more than 1 million acres of hunting opportunity for only $19 a year, and squirrel hunting is allowed on WMAs at specified times dur-ing the statewide squirrel season.

Hunters are advised to check the hunting regulations for specific WMAs and dates.

The two species Both the gray and fox squirrel can be found throughout Georgia. The gray squirrel, abundant in both rural and urban areas is the most common species.
