UPCOMING
Brantley students open up to Teledental Program
Special to the Enterprise
Donovan Thron was a little hesitant at
first as he climbed into the dentist chair. A
soft-spoken dental hygienist comforted him,
and he opened his mouth wide to show off
his teeth.
The Brantley County student was one
of many elementary school children who
recently received dental treatment at the
county’s first-ever Teledentistry Clinic
housed within the school.
The Teledental Program, the first of
its kind in Georgia, is a collaboration of
the Southeast Health District, Waycross
dentist Jon Drawdy and the Medical Col-
lege of Georgia. The program is new to
the Brantley County School System. It was
piloted with much success in Ware County
last year at Head Start.
“It is exciting to have a teledenistry
clinic in our school system to provide pre-
ventative dental services to our students,”
said Roxie Tumlin, Brantley County
Schools Special Education Director.
“Students with poor oral health who
experience pain, decay, impactions and
infections in their teeth and gums cannot
fully engage in the learning process while
at school. This innovative partnership with
move to renew the contract
Public Health will certainly help us take
care of   one of their most basic needs —
their teeth.”
“When you bring the services to the
school to provide services in a school
setting it ensures 100 percent attendance,
essentially eliminating the problem of
failed appointments,” added Diane Watson,
Telehealth Coordinator for the Southeast
Health District, which consists of 16 coun-
ties, including Brantley.
Clinics are scheduled in cooperation
with the school. There is a room at the el-
ementary school that is set up much like a
dentist exam room, said Watson. Children,
whose parents have consented to the ser-
vices, receive cleanings exams and x-rays.
Referrals are made, if necessary.
Drawdy provides the oversight for the
dental hygienists who are onsite. Faculty
and residents of the Medical College of
Georgia Dental School are able to view the
children’s x-rays and mouths via a closed-
circuit connection. They can also talk to
the hygienists and parents in real time.   jected cost to become a certified economic developer (ED).

Georgia Dental Association Board of
Trustees to raise awareness about the uses
of teledentistry in rural settings.

DA approves $78,000 budget
By Chris Buchanan
The Brantley County Development Authority approved
a request for just over $78,000 for the 2011 budget at a called
meeting on Thursday.
According to Development Authority Director Jeanie Bo-
land, the figure includes modest increases in customary office
expenses and new office equipment. 
The proposed budget also provides for expenses for
industrial park development. This development not only
includes the Nahunta Park, but also the new green industrial
park in Waynesville. Funds will also go toward marketing of
the community to prospective business and industry.  
Boland said that the there is no increase in salary or
increase in the authority’s spending on local programs that it
sponsors.
“We agree that we should focus any available funds
primarily on development of our resources - industrial parks -
and marketing,” she said.
The board already has plans to form a marketing commit-
tee to explore the most efficient and effective way to market
Brantley County as a business and industrial location.
Members also agreed that the director will research pro-
“The purpose for the ED program is for all ED directors
the same level of training and resources,” Boland said.
Ultimately, Boland said the board is optimistic about the
upcoming year.
“This is another step in the right direction to promoting
this community and growing jobs and tax base,” she said. “As

Getting airport renova-
tions back on track may be
off to a rockier start than
expected, board of com-
missioners chair Ron Ham
announced at the Tuesday
regular meeting.
Members of the board,
department of transporta-
tion, airport authority and
the bonding company in
charge of finishing the proj-
ect met last week to deter-
mine how to move forward
with the construction and
settle disputes over runway
height and unit costs for the
construction materials.
The project fell into the
hands of a bonding company
in February after the initial

Mary Gibson
contractor, Folsom construc-
tion, closed its doors. The
project had since been man-
aged by the bonding com-
pany and its subcontractor
Littlefield construction.
During the meeting, all
parties discussed the basic
parameters of a three-way
tendering agreement be-
tween the county, Littlefield
Construction, and the bond-
ing agency.
But when the actual
first draft of the agreement
reached the county offices
on Monday, Ham said that it
placed a significant amount
of the cost back on the
county.
“There are certain
places where they’re trying
to say that’s not our expense,
that’s going to be your ex-
pense,” Ham said.
“Our situation is if
Folsom had stayed on the
job, we’d be through with the
airport now and we would
not have incurred these
expenses.”
Ham said that the
county is making sure that
the bond company will incur
this cost.

Hoboken mail carrier gets award
Hoboken rural mail carrier Melissa Roberts has been
presented an Expert Driving Award by the postmaster for
continuously striving to provide excellent service and deliver
the mail in a timely and consistant manner. 
She was presented a safe
driver award for satisfactory
driver observations and for
safely delivering the mail for
the past 15 years. 
According to Hoboken
Postmaster Greta Dyal,
without honest, reliable,
hard working employees like
Roberts, it would be impos-
sible for the postal service to
survive. 
Her dedicated and de-
pendable service is appreci-
ated by the postal service and
her many customers, Dyal

Sen. Isakson School Choice passes first The governing elite

vs. the rest of us
challenges important Georgia court test By Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson

union change By Mike Klein

School choice advocates in Georgia have

U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., has
introduced a “disapproval resolution” seek-
ing to stop the National Mediation Board
from overturning 75 years of precedent to
make it easier for airline and railway employ-
ees to unionize.
“The National Mediation Board simply
does not have the legal authority to make
such a radical change without Congressional
authorization. With this rule change, a union
could be permanently recognized without a
majority of employees having ever supported
representation,” Isakson said. “I will not
stand by and let this administration compro-
mise fairness to grant favors to labor unions.
I will do everything in my power to stop
this backdoor attempt to shift the balance
between labor and management.”
Upon introduction, a disapproval resolu-
tion is referred to the committee of jurisdic-
tion, which in this case will be the Senate
Committee on Health, Education, Labor and
Pensions. If the committee does not favorably
report the resolution, it may be discharged
upon petition by 30 Senators. Once a disap-
proval resolution is placed on the Senate
calendar, it is then subject to expedited
consideration on the Senate floor, and not
subject to filibuster. If passed by the Senate,
the resolution still must clear the U.S. House
and be signed by the President before it could
go into effect.
Isakson immediately picked up 25 co-
sponsors for the disapproval resolution.
The National Mediation Board’s final
rule change, which was issued on May 10,
would affect companies under the jurisdic-
tion of the Railway Labor Act by allowing
union elections to be decided by only a major-
ity of workers who cast ballots, reducing the
number of votes it takes for a union to win.
Since the creation of the National Mediation
Board in 1934, the rule had been that employ-
ees who did not vote on whether to create a
union had been counted as “no” votes. Under
this previous “majority rule” procedure, a
union could only be approved if a full major-
ity of all employees voted to do so.     powers
Isakson believes the National Mediation
Board does not have the authority to change
this election procedure without Congres-
sional authorization. The Supreme Court
has upheld the “majority rule” twice, and
the National Mediation Board previously re-
jected requests to change it four times under
both Democratic and Republican adminis-
trations. 
The AFL-CIO requested the rule
change in a Sept. 2, 2009, letter to the National
Mediation Board. Isakson, along with seven
of his Senate colleagues, filed official com-
ments on the rule change with the National
Mediation Board on Jan. 4, 2010, urging the
board to reject the changes
prevailed in an important Superior Court
ruling that upholds the constitutionality of
state-created charter schools with partial
funding from state taxpayer dollars. Attor-
neys on both sides predict this case will be
appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court with
a final decision sometime next year.
One immediate impact is some 300
seventh- and eighth-grade girls will continue
to navigate the hallways of Ivy Preparatory
Academy in Norcross, just outside Atlanta.
Ivy’s Prep’s enrollment will jump to 450
students this fall when it adds sixth grad-
ers. Funding is also assured next year for
the Charter Conservatory for Liberal Arts &
Technology in downstate Statesboro.
This is a David-vs.-Goliath financial
showdown that pits a tiny number of state
charter schools against an entrenched educa-
tion bureaucracy. Charter schools are public
schools that are allowed greater flexibility
and innovation – including less central office
control – in exchange for greater accountabil-
ity. More than 1.65 million Georgia students
attend traditional public schools; 65,000
attend charter schools. Just 430 attend state
charter schools.
Ivy Prep and Charter Conservatory will
be joined by six new schools this
fall and the state’s ninth char-
ter school will open in 2011.
All were made possible by a
2008 state law that created
the Georgia Charter
School Commission.
Tony Roberts,
executive direc-
tor at the
Georgia
Charter
Schools Association,
said Friday’s ruling
is “a victory for all
of us” over
“established
educa-
tional
that
were
feel-
ing threatened.”
Similar cases can be found nationwide.
The constitutionality of state-created charter
schools was upheld in California, Ohio and
Michigan cases, but charter schools lost in a
Florida case.
Nina Gilbert is the head at 2-year-old Ivy
Prep. She knows there is a likely Georgia Su-
preme Court battle down the road. “We’re not
done [in court] if the districts decide to go
further. It is my hope they do not but I would
not be surprised if they [appeal].”
The question before Fulton County
So, what’s all the fuss about? In a
nutshell, follow the money. State education
dollars assigned to charter schools would
“civil servants” are a protected, privileged
otherwise be allocated to traditional public
school systems. Ivy Prep received $1.2 mil-
lion in state funds this year, $850,000 of it to
fund the Gwinnett students whose parents
enrolled them in the charter school rather
than in the public school system.
Attorney Tom Cox represented the At-
lanta and DeKalb County school systems. Cox
said the public school districts believe the
Georgia Charter Schools Commission usurps
constitutional authority that local school
boards have over public education.
Cox also said the plaintiffs contend the
charter schools do not meet sufficient criteria
to be described as special schools, such as
those founded to teach blind or deaf students.
Gwinnett County (158,000 students),
DeKalb County (98,000 students) the Atlanta
Public Schools System (48,000 students) and
four smaller systems also argue that using
state funds to assist state-created charter
schools is unconstitutional because
they were not created by local boards. percent. The number of Defense Department

represented
the charter

law is what it appropriated for them by Congress still
is. One judge has said
quite emphatically that it is constitutional.”
Attorneys are uncertain about when
they will see Judge Shoob’s final orders, but
it is likely within several days to a couple of
weeks. No district has announced whether it
will appeal but attorneys expect to see each
other again this fall or early next year at the
Georgia Supreme Court.
Meantime, Ivy Prep’s Nina Gilbert ex-
pects to keep her focus on classrooms, not the
courtroom. “We have to remember charter
schools started because of the demand for
school choice,” Gilbert said. “As long as par-
 The truly revolutionary American idea
of government as the servant of the people
may be fading away. Many of today’s so-called
class. While Middle America struggles
through a difficult recession, a lot of govern-
ment employees have lived on the gravy train.
Here are some facts to buttress that as-
sertion:
Since the recession began in 2008, a
period during which approximately eight mil-
lion private-sector workers lost their jobs and
millions more saw their income decline, the
number of federal employees is increasing at
a 7 percent per-year rate and their income is
holding up quite nicely. According to the Cato
Institute, the average federal worker’s pay
and benefits now approximates $120,000 per
year, or roughly double the compensation of
the average private-sector employee. Factor
out the lavish government fringe benefits and
look at salary only, and the civil servant is
still far ahead: $71,197 vs. $49,935.
During this recession, the percentage
of federal employees earning annual base
salaries above $100,000 increased from 14 to 19
employees being paid more than $150,000 per
year increased from 1,868 to 10,100. Before,
the Department of Transportation had one
employee with a salary above $170,000, but
now has 1,690.
As a gesture toward fiscal responsibility,
President Obama reduced what was supposed
to be a 2.4 percent raise in federal salaries
this year to 2.0 percent. That still compares
quite favorably to the zero-percent cost-of-
living increase that Social Security recipients’
have received.
Also on tap are handsome pay raises for
the employees of the Federal Housing Admin-
istration. The FHA has distinguished itself
recently by incurring a loss of $54 billion in
a mismanaged home-loan business. And of
course we can’t neglect to mention the CEOs
of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, who have
been cleared to receive as much as $6 million
in salary this year while being subsidized
transfusions from the Treasury and the Fed.
Other federal agencies may not be losing
money by the tens and hundreds of billions
of dollars in such an obvious way, but money
seems to vanish into a black hole. For ex-
ample, statistics from 2006 showed that if all
the federal dollars spent by antipoverty pro-
grams had been given directly to Americans
below the poverty line, a poor family of four
would have received $67,000. The actual aid
received by poor Americans is less than half
that amount. What explains such glaring inef-
ficiency? Most of those funds are consumed
by the cushy pay packages of the army of
bureaucrats who administer those programs.
And let’s not even get into the Department
of Agriculture, which has one bureaucrat for
every nine or ten full-time farmers.

spending website
Trying to get a handle on the billions of
dollars paid for thousands of items that state
governments buy every year is a worthy goal.
In Georgia, such purchases consume almost
a third of the state budget, but identifying
where the dollars actually go has been be-
yond existing accounting technology.
So Georgia invented a better mousetrap.
In partnership with the Pew Center on the
States, the Department of Administrative
Services (DOAS) – State Purchasing Division
is creating a “Spend Management Analytics”
tool. The revolutionary aspect of the system
will be its ability to collect and analyze pur-
chasing information from every agency and
university from every angle — buyer, supplier,
category and cost. The data will allow State
Purchasing to go to the sellers’ market better
positioned to find purchasing economies and
new statewide contract opportunities.
Georgia’s joint effort with Pew will for
the first time seamlessly refresh and generate
histories of data across different systems,
so that purchasing analysis stays current.
The tool can combine data from the three
different financial systems that currently
individually track purchases by Georgia’s 86
state agencies and 35 academic institutions —
all of which means the State of Georgia will
have an estimated $3.5 billion in spend under
management.
Next steps of the project involve passing
along the innovations of this project to state
governments nationwide. Spend Management
Analytics is the latest chapter in Georgia’s
efforts to overhaul purchasing practices and
technology in the state, and in today’s tough
economic times, there is a national need for
this kind of efficiency as well.
Governor Sonny Perdue spoke positively
of the project, saying, “I anticipate Georgia’s
spend cube will eventually help lower costs
and provide more value for our taxpayers. I
appreciate Pew for their partnership as we
continue to employ sound business manage-
ment practices to improve the state’s finan-
cial health.”
an effort to have the funding model declared
unconstitutional.
Shoob heard three hours of arguments
Friday, and then issued a speedy ruling: “The
General Assembly has provided sufficient
guidelines. Commission charter schools are
not required to be under the control or man-
aged by an elected board of education. The
funding is constitutional.”
UGA vet school sets open house
By Kat Gilmore
The University of Geor-
gia College of Veterinary
Medicine’s sixth annual “Vet
School for a Day” will be
held Sept. 29. This program
brings high school students
from throughout Georgia
to the university’s Athens
campus to learn more about
careers in veterinary medi-
cine.
The program is held
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and in-
cludes a tour of the teaching
hospital, a panel discussion
by faculty veterinarians
in a variety of specialties,
and the opportunity for the
high school students to meet
veterinary student leaders.
Students also will learn
about the high standards for
admission to the college, and
what they need to study to
be prepared for veterinary
school.
“Through this program,
we hope to encourage stu-
dents interested in science to
pursue one of the variety of
careers available in veteri-
nary medicine, especially in
underserved areas such as
food animal medicine,” said

dean for academic affairs.

(Oh, did I mention that members of the
Pelosi/Reid Congress voted themselves a 6
percent increase in funds for their staffs and
other support?)
It isn’t just the federal government work-
ers who have an unusually lucrative setup.
Gov. Christie of New Jersey recently an-
nounced his intention to reform the pension
plan for the Garden State’s public employees.
Consider an incredible fact: According to
Christie, a 49-year-old state employee who
had contributed $124,000 toward his retire-
ment is eligible to receive $3.3 million in
pension payments and another half-million
dollars in heath care benefits over the rest
of his life; and a retired teacher who had put
$62,000 toward her pension and not a penny
for health care is scheduled to receive $1.4
million in pensions and $215,000 in health
care benefits. Taxpayers pay for this.
This story is repeated over and over in a
number of states that now teeter on the brink
of bankruptcy due to billions of dollars of ob-
ligations to state employees. It’s hard to refer
to these people—many of whom, of course,
are wonderful, decent human beings—as civil
“servants” when their salaries and/or benefits
are so much higher than those of the taxpay-
ers who pay for the generous compensation
packages of their government “servants.”
Abraham Lincoln’s ideal of government
“of the people, by the people, for the people”
seems to have become government of the gov-
erning elite, by the governing elite, and for
the governing elite. The current imbalance
can’t continue. Something’s got to give.

Brantley gives Toombs all it can handle in playoffs

two 7-6 to force the series into
Saturday. The first two games were
played in grueling heat starting at
4pm.
Game one had the Herons fac-

consecutive walks to Martin, Dykes,
Walker Carter, and Justen White.
Toombs went back ahead in the 5th
on another home run making the
score 5-4 but Brantley scored in the
top of the 7th to tie after a double
by White, a walk to Lawton Boyd,
and an RBI single by Seth Hendrix.
Toombs won in the bottom of the
7th on a wild pitch for a final of 6-5.
Game two didn’t start so well

Game 3 had Brantley as the

toss on Friday night. After getting
the first two outs, senior pitcher
Seth Hendrix allowed a walk fol-

ahead 2-0. Brantley answered with

Brantley wouldn’t quit, and in the

from Cameron Martin as he laced
a double into right center field to
tie the game 4-4. That would be the
end of the scoring for the Herons
as they could only manage one hit
and a walk in the final 4 innings.
Toombs would score 4 in the 4th
and 2 in the 7th to put the game
away. Brantley finished the season
with a record of 15-14 making
consecutive playoff appearances for
the first time since a six year run
from 2001-2006.

f you’re looking for tasty ways to improve your diet, you’re in luck. You can
get big taste and big benefits from a little fruit — Wild Blueberries.
The Color Connection
A diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help maintain a healthy weight and reduce
the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. Eating
across the color spectrum is important so you get a variety of nutritional benefits.
Wild Blueberries get their color from naturally occurring phytochemicals,
which are primarily responsible for antioxidant activity. Wild Blueberries are
antioxidant rich, making them a great choice for their nutritional benefits and
disease fighting potential. In fact,
� USDA studies rank Wild Blueberries highest in antioxidant capacity per
serving, compared with more than 20 other fruits including cranberries,
strawberries, apples and even cultivated blueberries.
� Health magazine has named Wild Blueberries high on its list of “America’s
Healthiest Superfoods for Women,” singling out their variety of potential
health benefits, including preventing memory loss, improving motor skills,
lowering blood pressure, and fighting wrinkles.
Wild Blueberries are available year-round in supermarkets nationwide. Frozen
at the peak of ripeness, all the farm-fresh taste and nutritional benefits are locked-
in. Most studies show that frozen fruits and vegetables are higher in vitamins,
minerals and phytonutrients because they are frozen near the time of harvest.
Great taste, good nutrition and really convenient — no wonder so many people
are wild about blueberries. Learn more about this superfruit and get more great
recipes at www.wildblueberries.com.

Mosquitoes swarm back to Georgia

How to Identify Census 2010 Workers

Warmer weather and
recent rains have led to an
increase of mosquito activity.
Local Public Health officials
are strongly urging residents
to reduce mosquito popula-
tions around their home and
to protect themselves against
mosquito bites and the possi-
ble spread of mosquito-borne
illnesses, which have already
been detected this season.
The first Georgia West
Nile Virus (WNV) case for
2010 was confirmed in a Clay-
ton County man in mid-April
by the Georgia Department
of Community Health/
Division of Public Health

Section. There have been no
cases in Southeast Georgia
at this time. However, Public
Health officials encourage
measures now.
“The most effective ac-
tions we can take to protect
against mosquitoes are to
reduce their breeding areas
and to use mosquito repel-
lant on ourselves,” says
Dwain Butler, Southeast
Health District Environmen-
tal Health Director.
He recommends pouring
out stagnant water in bird-
baths, pet dishes, old tires
and any other receptacle
in which mosquitoes might
breed. This will greatly re-
duce mosquito populations.
Public Health officials
also suggest making sure
