Citizen Presentation-Mr. Donnie Grinner brought forth the discussion to Mayor
and Council about several large and small trees that need to be removed from a
piece of property that he purchased in the City. Mr. Grinner stated that there are
about 20 large trees and 4-5 small trees that will need to be removed so he can
move a house by November 1, 2008. He stated that Georgia Power came out and
cut down and removed 3 of the trees but the rest would have to be removed by
the City. He stated that the price for the cut down of trees and removal of stumps
would cost $5000.00. He asked Mayor and Council if he paid for it would the City
take the price off of his property taxes for the year. Councilwoman Sib Johns lets
Mr. Grinner know that if the trees were cut down and they fall on power lines or
anything else the City would not be held liable. Councilman Richard Johns asked
Mr. Grinner if he looked into having someone cut down the trees from Brantley
County for just the wood for up coming winter. Michelle Lartz stated that the REA
came to the EMS Station and cut down and removed trees for free. Mayor and
Council asked City Clerk Angela Wirth to check with REA to see if they will do this.
Mr. Blake Lloyd brought forth to Mayor and Council about heavy oversized trucks
using residential streets and Railroad Crossings and tearing them up. Mr. Lloyd let
Mayor and Council know that he has a back problem and when the heavy trucks
use the streets and Railroad Crossings it hurts his back. Judge Kelly Brooks let
Mayor and Council know that they do have the discretion to put weight limits on
the roads in Nahunta to keep this from being a problem. Mayor and Council asked
City Clerk Angela Wirth to check with CSX and see what are the procedures and
policies they have in place for the Railroad Crossings.
Crystal White with AFLEC Insurance introduced herself to the Mayor and Council
and wanted to know if she could offer the City employees the AFLEC Insurance.
Mrs. White also let Mayor and Council know that this would be no cost for the
City but would cost the employee for this type of insurance. Mayor and Council
thanked her for her attendance and would let her know.
Fire Department-Michelle Lartz gives the fire report.
Police Department-Chief Darrin Crews gives the police report. Chief Crews also
let Mayor and Council know that the 3 Crown Vic Police Cars are all broken down
at this point. Chief Crews let Mayor and Council know that one needs a new
thermostat, one needs a water pump, and one still has a bad engine. Councilman
Richard Johns let Chief Crews know that the cars with the broken thermostat
and water pump needs to be fixed first and the one with the bad engine will need
to wait. Councilwoman Sib Johns agreed with Councilman Richard Johns and
Council advised Chief Crews to get those fixed. Chief Crews also let Mayor and
Council know that an ad for the Animal Ordinance went into the newspaper and
the City of Nahunta Police Department will enforce it. City Clerk Angela Wirth let
Mayor and Council know that when the Animal Ordinance was put into place the
City ordered animal tags and the cost for a tag was $15.00. Mayor Jacobs stated
he wanted to start issuing the animal tags again. Police Chief Darrin Crews asked
Mayor and Council if Halloween can be on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 instead of
Friday, October 31, 2008 to cut down on traffic congestion due to Halloween and
the Brantley County Football game. Mayor and Council said that would be fine.

man Richard Johns abstained from voting, motion carried by 3-1 vote.
Mayor Ronnie Jacobs brought forth the discussion of hiring Michelle Mitchell for
the Police Clerk position, for she has already been sent to Clerkπs training with
City Clerk Angela Wirth. Councilman Richard Johns opposed for he stated that
the City of Nahunta is an Equal Opportunity Employer and to keep from being

and closing dates, and pay rate or advertised in the local newspaper for 10 days.

Mayor Jacobs brings forth the discussion on Building Permits within the City. He
stated to Mayor and Council that he entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement
with Brantley County to keep the City from having to hire building inspector. Mayor

question is whether the “will” of today’s
society favors permitting such actions.

The meaning of the right to vote

Barack Obama has pledged to appoint
judges in this liberal mold.
But conservatives and liberals are both
wrong about rights. It cannot be true that
rights come from society. The very concept
of a right identifies the actions you can take
without anyone’s permission. Rights are not
social privileges but objective facts, identify-
ing the freedoms we need to live our lives--
whether a majority in society agree or not.
This is why the Founding Fathers dedicated
their new government to the protection of
each individual’s already-existing rights to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Thus, the Fifth and Fourteenth amend-
ments forbid the government to deprive you
of “life, liberty, or property” (except when
you have violated someone else’s rights, and
even here the government must follow due
process, such as holding a trial). The Ninth
Amendment safeguards all “rights” not listed
elsewhere. These principles encompass all
the innumerable actions required for your
survival and happiness over a lifetime--the
right to make a contract, earn a profit, build
a house, make a friend, speak your mind, and
so on.
Because the Constitution is the “supreme
Law of the Land,” judges are duty-bound to
strike down statutes that violate rights. This
is not improper “judicial activism” but the ro-
bust, constitutional power of judicial review.
Judges must never bow to social opin-
ion, historical or current, when exercising
judicial review. For example, laws that
institutionalized government discrimination
against blacks in military service and voting
deserved to be struck down, even if political
majorities in both the Founders’ generation
and modern times favored such rights viola-
tions.
To their discredit, today’s judges--con-
servatives and liberals alike--have all but
abandoned this essential safeguard of our
liberties.
The arch-conservative Robert Bork once
declared that Ninth Amendment “rights”
carry no more meaning than an accidental
inkblot on the constitutional parchment. And
according to Justice Antonin Scalia, there’s
nothing in the Constitution “authorizing
judges to identify what [those rights] might
be, and to enforce the judges’ list against
laws duly enacted by the people.” As for life,
liberty, and property, government can smash
them at will, if society so wishes. “Does [the
Constitution] guarantee life, liberty or prop-
erty?” asks Justice Scalia rhetorically. “No,
indeed! All three can be taken away. . . . It’s a
procedural guarantee.”
Judicial liberals don’t dispute that a judge
must bow to the “social will”--they simply
divine it differently. As one liberal Justice
declared, the Constitution “must draw its
meaning from the evolving standards of
decency that mark the progress of a matur-
ing society.”
While conservatives and liberals squabble
about whether society permits you this
action or that, they are defaulting on their
sacred constitutional duty of judicial review.

It’s a wrap
Face it, once you reach middle age, a lot

to your body. I have to admit my medicine
cabinet is full of lotions that promise to lift,
lower, pull back, push out, inflate, deflate or
do whatever the opposite is of what my body
is naturally doing now.
That said, naturally I couldn’t resist a
whole new miracle procedure that promises
to melt bazillions of inches off your body in
50 minutes without moving a muscle. Yes, it’s
true!And all you need to do is to be wrapped
up rubber blankets like a mummy, lay down
and sweat.
Now why would an otherwise sane and
reasonable person want to try this, you ask? I
can answer in two words: Muffin. Top.
Now to those of you lucky few who don’t
know what this, I’ll tell you. Twenty years
ago, the phrase muffin top referred to the top
part of a muffin. Harmless enough. But now,
it means the hideous bulge of flab on your
lower back that gets pushed up, over your
waistband, for the whole world to see when
you wear tight low-rise jeans. (Of course by
“you” I mean “me”)
Now I bet this brings up all sorts of worri-
you brings up a whole slew of other issues
that I don’t have the time to address here.)
Now I admit, much like the wonder bra
and low calorie ice cream, there’s something
about this that seems too good to be true. But
of course, being the sort of person who can’t
pass up something that promises big results
with minimal effort, I had to take the chance.
So I went to a salon where I paid a teen-
age girl, who I’ll call Barbie, to wrap me into
a heated rubber straight jacket, toss a sheet
over me, then turn up the temperature to the
same degree as – oh let’s see— the face of the
sun. Then she turned on the timer and left
me to bake for an hour as if I were some sort
of flabby Thanksgiving turkey.
Now this bring us to another very im-
portant point. Which is not whether or not I
could be hurt (although a completely justifi-
able concern),but rather what’s in our culture
that could make an educated, successful, sane
and reasonable person even consider being
wrapped up in a rubber blanket and set on
a table to bake like a piece of poultry? I can
answer that in three words: I. Don’t. Know.
Fast forward. When I was done, truth
be told, I’m not sure my muffin top was any
smaller, but I did feel cleansed and toxin free.
Plus I got to lay down uninterrupted for a
whole hour. All in all, a brilliant invention if
you ask me.

So far two deer dogs killed

Greetings everyone. I hope this finds each and every
one of you in good spirits and enjoying the cooling trend of
Mother Nature.
By now, the Presidential election as well as our local elec-
tions should have been settled and we should know who the
next leader of our country and county should be. For those of
you that voted – I commend you for having your voice heard.
For those of you that didn’t – SHAME SHAME SHAME on
you. If you didn’t vote – don’t start talking about the what if ’s
and what should’s if/when something gets done that you don’t
like. You have no voice to express your dislike if you didn’t
vote to begin with.
On to other things now – The deer hunting season contin-
ues to be a decent one for most folks. I have seen pictures and CAMERON HAMMETT SETH HENDRIX
heard stories of some nice bucks being taken in and around
Brantley County.

hope everyone understands that. & &
As for the dog hunters out there – it seems to so far have

major that resulted in a couple of dogs being murdered. As
for the two resulting in dogs being harmed – there will be a
preliminary hearing on one of the cases in December, the
other I think is possibly still under investigation.
And from what I was told, the two were totally unrelated
cases. Let’s hope that those occasions are the only ones that
happen this year and that justice does what it is supposed to
for the owners of the dogs.
One last thing before I close here too – I haven’t said much
about the inshore saltwater fishing lately, but it is getting that
time again. I’ve heard numerous reports of good trout and
some reds being caught up in the rivers and creeks.
For those of you that don’t hunt, maybe now is the time to
check out the creeks and rivers and have some fun catching
fish.

PUBLIC NOTICE
USED CARS TO BE SOLD TO THE PUBLIC
SATURDAY
FOR AS LOW AS $49*
IN ONE DAY, LOCAL BRUNSWICK DEALER MUST ELIMINATE
OVER $2,000,000.OO+ WORTH OF PRE-OWNED VEHICLES.
Brunswick, GA - Carl Gregory
Chrysler/Dodge/Hyundai is holding
its biggest pre-owned super sale
in the history of the company. On
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8,
2008, they plan to eliminate their
entire preowned inventory by means
of a
$49
“Eliminator Sale,”
During this one-day event, every
pre-owned vehicle will be offered
for thousands below original price -
including vehicles for only $49*.
Gary Hudgins, Local Owner of
Carl Gregory, offers this explanation
for this unprecedented sale. “We’ve
already had record sales in our new
car department this past year, and
we’re overstocked with tradeins.
Then we’ve added a big inventory
of factory program cars and some
real bargains we’ve gotten at the
auctions. So, now we’re over-loaded
with inventory. It’s that simple.”
Gary adds, “Our goal is to reduce
the amount of our overall inventory
to a more manageable number, and
to do that, we’ve got to price this
inventory ridiculously low. Expect
retail prices to be marked down as
much as $3000.00 to $7000.00.”
Gary further added “The
community has shown us great
support throughout the years, and
we’re very grateful. We would
rather give the great deals to the
public than unload these vehicles at
the auction. We believe that people
will not only enjoy getting a great
deal, they’ll also have a lot of fun
doing it. Imagine the excitement of
being able to buy a vehicle for just
$49*. Not $49 down, $49* total.”
WWW.BRANTLEYENTERPRISE.COM • 912-462-6776 • PO BOX 454 NAHUNTA GA 31553 • MAIN ST
Almost 200 preowned cars, trucks,
vans, and SUV’s are available for
this huge event. “We absolutely must
reduce our preowned inventory at
all costs; so customers can expect
these vehicles to be sold at near or
below wholesale price,” he stated.
“Cars which would normally sell
for $3000 to $20,000 will be sold
for thousands less, and I mean
thousands less! We truly will have
a vehicle for everyone’s budget.”
These vehicles are available
at this price, SATURDAY,
NOVEMBER 8, 2008, only at
Carl Gregory Chrysler/Dodge/
Hyundai in Brunswick. Special
arrangements have been made for
a record number of customers,
with event parking clearly marked.
According to Jim DeLoach, a
manager at Carl Gregory, here’s
how the $49* “Eliminator Sale”
works: SATURDAY, NOVEmBER
8, precisely at 9:45 am, the gates
will be opened so that customers
may inspect the vehicles. When
the $49* “Eliminator Sale” begins
at 10:00am, the “Price Eliminator”
will cross out the retail price on
each vehicle and replace it with
the new “Eliminator Sale” price.
Whoever is sitting behind the wheel
of the vehicle will have the first
chance to purchase the vehicle at
the “Eliminator Sale” price. Prices
will be cut one time to the “Rock
Bottom” price, including vehicles
for only $49*. This “Eliminator
Sale” is for the public only - auto
dealers, wholesalers, employees
of the dealership and its affiliates,
are not permitted to participate.
Carl Gregory Chrysler/Dodge/
Hyundai has arranged for special
finance and credit analysts to be
on hand. If you’ve had trouble in
the past securing auto credit, don’t
count yourself out. If you’ll bring
your current payroll stub and your
driver’s license, chances are we can
arrange your financing. The
$49
“Eliminator Sale,”
will be the biggest event we’ve ever
had,” according to Gary & Jim.
Customers are required to come
early and register for entry to this
incredible sale. Registration begins
at 8am. “We expect a record number
of people to leave with great vehicles
at unheard-of, low prices.”
“If you’ve been waiting for a
great deal on a great pre-owned
vehicle, your wait is over. The
$49 “Eliminator Sale,” will be
held SATURDAY, NOVEMBER
8, 2008. You’ll have the perfect
opportunity to get a quality vehicle
at a substantial savings while we
drastically reduce our inventory.”
The $49* “Eliminator Sale” will be
heldSATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6,
2008 at Carl Gregory in Brunswick,
-5400 Altama Avenue.
