A 65-year old Brantley County man whose body was pulled from a pond at the back of his property last week apparently died of natural causes, according to Brantley County coroner Richard Fox.

Fox said Walter Allen Shellhorn, 65, just happened to be near the edge of the pond when he died.

The body was discovered lying face down in the water, according to Brantley County Sheriff ’s Department reports.

Deputy James Mercier reported that the body was found by Timothy Landon Davis, 47, on the victim’s property on Knox Road near its intersec-tion with Hightower Road.

Fox also dispelled rumors that the victim’s body was burned or decomposed beyond recognition.

“He was in a normal state with very little decomposition,” he said.

The city of Nahunta has lost a leader.

Although he was born in Ware County, Joel Chambless was as much a native Brantley Countian as anyone, injecting himself into the fabric of the county — and the city of Nahunta — in countless ways over his 49 years, most recent-ly as the owner of Joel Chambless Funeral Home and a member of the Nahunta City Council.

Joel was the son of Guy Chambless, who along with his wife Ruth established the Guy Chamb-less Funeral Home in Nahunta in 1957 and, like other members of the family, grew into the family busi-ness, graduating from the Cincin-nati College of Mortuary Science in 1981.

He was the youngest coroner ever elected in the county — a record that still stands — and held that post for three terms.

He was a member and former chief of the Nahunta Volunteer Fire Department and a member of the Camden Masonic Lodge #391

business for a time then turned it over to daughter Allison Chambless, who became the sole owner in 1994, renaming the business Chambless Funeral Home. She operated the funeral home until she was diagnosed with terminal cancer in July 2000.

She died three months later, and long-time employee Ernest Frye and his wife Virginia took over the business, changing the name Chabless-Frye Funeral Home and later Frye Funeral Home.

Joel, unable to stay away from the funeral home business for very long, opened his own business in Nahunta in 2000 and operated Joel Chambless Funeral Home until 2006, when his health began to fail.

During the same time, Joel was elected to the Nahunta City Council, which began a stormy relationship with other members of the council, whom he described as unable to even follow their own rules just before he resigned his post in pro-

TALKING POINTS...

O’Quinn blasts ExpressBy Greg O’Quinn

This is in response to an opinion column in this week’s Brantley County Express titled

“Commissioners To Advertise for County Manager.” I would like to express my frustra-tion with editor & publisher Mittie Vaughn’s decision-making.

Please understand that I do not see local county government as a professional sport consisting of “fans” and “rivals.” Twice in her article, Ms. Vaughn stated that I am “no fan” of County Manager Chuck Madray. She is correct. I am a professional colleague of Mr. Madray and one of his superiors in our county’s chain of command.

Vaughn’s personal displeasure with my pronunciation of Madray’s name is a distraction to the taxpayers of this county. Our citizens purchase her paper as their legal organ in pursuit of material that can be used to make informed decisions. County Manager Chuck Madray has never cor-rected my pronunciation of his name and, if I am mispronouncing it, I am not doing so intentionally. In my opinion, this topic is petty and hardly worthy of the attention it has received in her newspaper.

My goal upon election was to bring professionalism and efficiency to our local county government. At our most recent meet-ing Commissioner Linton Herrin asked that applications be accepted for the County Man-ager’s position and I simply agreed. With the item’s placement on the Consent Agenda for the upcoming meeting it would appear as though the entire Board agrees with the proposal made by Commissioner Herrin.

The time to praise Mr. Madray’s service to the U.S. State Department has passed. Those qualifications are no longer relevant to his current position. I based my decision to accept applications for his posi-tion solely on his performance as a County Manager during my time as an elected of-ficial.

Brantley County deserves a competent, honest, experienced and responsive County Manager. I will work diligently to find them one. Until that happens I will conduct myself in a professional manner in regards to my relationship with Mr. Madray and I will not compromise my expectations of his job per-formance. The Board has stated that he will have the opportunity to re-submit his applica-tion and I will give it my full consideration. I will base my decision on his job performance along with his qualifications.

But, keep in mind, the job description ap-proved by the previous Board of Commission-ers clearly requires the County Manager to hold a four-year college degree or the equiva-lent in county management experience. Mr. Madray has not offered any proof that he had either at the time of his original hire date.

I thank you for taking the time to read my perspective and understand that I wrote this because I want to see the citizens of our community receive objective, unbiased reports on what is really happening in their local government.

(O’Quinn sits in the Post 2 seat on the Brantley County Board of Commission-ers. His complaint prompted the following exchange of message with commissioner Charlie Summerlin.)

Greg:

Thanks for your email. Mittie Vaughn was just telling it like it is happening in Brantley County. As you and Ronald Ham were being elected as county commissioners the street talk was you two were being elected to help get rid of the county manager and go back to the old system. If you get rid of the manager , will the new county attorney, Mr. Lee, be next? The street talk is that I am next.

I am looking forward to your reply.Charlie (Summerlin)

Charlie:

“Street talk” is a dangerous source of in-formation just like an opinionated newspaper.

I totally disagree with the way our coun-ty was forced to move to the County Manager form of government by the previous Board. I have not tried to hide my opinion on this subject.

But that is the past and I support the Management/ Administrator form of Government. I think that this type of gov-ernment makes sense based on the fact that most counties in the state are moving in that direction. With the right person in the posi-tion of County Manager it would eliminate the politics involved with running a govern-ment in a small town. It would also improve efficiency and effectiveness within our Board and in our meetings. While I may not agree with the way this system was put into place, I have no interest in returning to the previous form of government.

Our current County Attorney was hired by the majority of our Board and I will con-tinue to support him. I have not disguised the fact that I believe he is costing the taxpayers of this county a lot more money than was necessary. I am not spending my time on the BOC planning ways to “get rid of ” anyone.

Charlie, you are an elected official that answers to all of the taxpayers of Brantley County. If your “street talk” says that you are next as stated in your email, then it is not me that you should be worried about. I only have one vote.

Thank you for the response and I look forward to working with you tonight in our regular meeting.

Fiber to the homeWoody Rehberg

Construction crews continue their assault on the Hoboken, Nahunta and Waynesville exchanges and are set to begin construction shortly in the Browntown, Popwellville and Post Road areas as we continue to replace and upgrade our copper network with state of the art fiber optic cable. We expect the main cable laying operation in these areas to be completed by September of this year.

Our next contract, which has just been pieced together for Fall 2009, will cover the Riverside, Bachlott, Winokur and High Bluff communities, all points in-between and

will include the remainder of the Hortense during Fall 2010. Upon its completion, all main cable laying operations will be complete.

We now have converted almost 700 homes to our new fiber optic network and expect to increase our conversion rate as we re-double our efforts to get more folks converted quickly. We want you to experience the quality as soon as possible!

If you already have the new Optical Network Terminal (ONT) mounted to your home, you could be next! Expect a call from one of our technicians to make an appointment for your conversion and remember, if you do not currently have Internet service with us, you can receive FREE installation of BTC HI SPEED on the day of your conversion.

As always, watch for our crews as you drive through your neighborhood, and please, for your safety, as well as theirs, drive with caution and give them plenty of room. Don't forget dial 8-1-1 before you dig and someone will come locate all utility facilities where you plan to dig.

UGA researcher says state has the edge in biofuels

Editor’s note: K.C. Das is an associate professor of engineering with the Uni-versity of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environ-mental Sciences, the director of the Biorefining and Carbon Cycling Program and manager of CAES biofuel research. The following is an abridged version of a Q&A on the status of bioenergy research in Georgia and its future. It originally appeared in the 2009 CAES Environ-mental Report magazine.

Does Georgia have an advantage in bioenergy production?

Yes, because we can grow great quantities of biomass through our agricul-ture and forestry industries. Universities like University of Georgia, Georgia Tech and others provide the tech-nology. The UGA Complex Carbohydrate Research Center is strong in the bio-logical sciences. In addition, the Agricultural Innovation Center and the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority assist companies interested in getting into the business through their “One Stop Shop.”

How much petroleum-based energy can be replaced with bioenergy in Georgia?

About 30 percent of our energy needs can be met with bioenergy today. By patching together multiple strategies, we can achieve this amount. This would include burning chicken litter to heat farms in north Georgia, fermenting out-dated cola products for etha-nol, generating biogas from cow manure on dairy farms, harvesting landfill gas for electricity and producing cellulosic ethanol from pine waste in south Georgia. All of these projects exist today in Georgia and many more are coming on line.

Cellulosic ethanol is be-ing promoted as part of the next generation of bioenergy. Is it economically viable?

Yes, at the current price of oil, it is economically viable. But we must mass produce it. It should be in large scale production in five years.

In your opinion, is any one feedstock more viable than another? Algae shows great promise because it grows rapidly in warm climates like what we have in Georgia. It can produce 2,000 gallons of oil per acre. Soybeans generate approxi-mately 50 gallons for each

acre. Extracting the oils from the algae is difficult, and we are working to resolve this problem.

What kind of biofuel research does your team at UGA conduct?

Essentially, we try different processes on a variety of agricultural and forestry wastes and fuel crops to create bioenergy. The wastes include peanut shells, poultry litter and forestry residues and promis-ing fuel crops include algae, bamboo and kenaf. We’re not opposed to trying any feedstocks as long as there are great quantities available. Through a thermochemical process called pyrolosis, we heat biomass in the absence of oxygen to produce oil, gas and charcoal. UGA engineers and soil scientists collabo-rate to characterize the char and determine its value as a fertilizer or soil amendment.

We examine the entire

carbon cycling process. Gasification is another thermochemical process we can use to make liquid fuels. This is done by heating the feedstock with a little oxygen. UGA CAES scientists work with researchers in the UGA Warnell School of Forest Resources to convert wood waste from sustainably man-aged forests into cellulosic ethanol. We look at the full life cycle of making biofuels and part of that involves pre-processing the waste. Biomass is heated at low temperatures to increase its energy density and remove less desirable properties. This works well for wood waste and makes it easier to transport and more efficient in co-firing with existing power plants.

Do you think we will achieve the goal set by the

national 25 by ‘25 Alliance to produce 25 percent of our en-ergy from the nation’s farms and forests?

With the current high

price of oil, there is a strong incentive to meet it. However, we need more investment in research, development and production. The Europeans

are advanced in bioenergy production because they have a high tax on gasoline that is used to fund it.
