CHAMBLISS From page iA all “surge troops home by July 1, 2008.” Immigration On the current hot topic of immigration reform, Chambliss, who is a strong supporter of agricul ture, currently backing a major farm bill, said that he believes the American people “will support a true temporary work program,” with immigrant workers coming to this country for fixed periods of time and then returning to their homes. “But first we’ve got to secure the border, or there’ll be no credibility,” he said, noting that while a bill was passed to build a fence, and 80 miles of fencing has been completed, there was no funding for the project. “We need more border patrol agents,” he said, add ing that more air surveil lance was also needed at Children’s .*ti.. •• • i*t- at The Medical Center of Central Georgia C* Jhe World Champion Warner Robins American Litde League team will V 1 be on hand to help Ariel, Erin, and Victor Fortson, The Children’s Ai^^oWwlb.MM Hospital’s Miracle Family light the Children’s Tree at The Medical Center of Central Georgia.

Healthcare Chambliss defended his vote against the Democrats’ proposed State Children’s Health Insurance Program, which President Bush vetoed. “Johnny (Isakson) and I both voted against it,” Chambliss said, “A fiscally irresponsible bill came to the floor that had provi sions that worried me.” Chambliss said that the SCHIP provisions raised the eligibility level for the children’s’ health insurance program to 300 percent of the federal poverty level, which would allow some states to set the bar as high as $66,000 for a family of four. Georgia’s Peach Care pro gram, which is 70 percent funded by SCHIP currently sets eligibility at 235 per cent of the poverty thresh old, or $42,000 for a fam ily of four, and states could continue to set their own levels. Chambliss said that he was also concerned about an “express lane” provision that would insure illegal alien children under the program. He acknowledged that failure to insure these children would mean that hospitals stood the cost in the form of indigent care. Bush influence Regarding President George W. Bush, Chambliss said that he thought that all presidents lost some influ ence and power during the last two years of a second term, but that Bush would continue to be a major influ ence, particularly by using his veto to block excessive spending, and by continu ing with the war. Chambliss expressed con cern that if Democrats take over the White House and also control the congress following the next election, President Bush’s changes to the country’s tax laws will expire.

Now, thanks to the com bined efforts of Vista Care, the Houston County 4- H, and a local framer, the quilt made of ribbons will have a permanent home at Rock Eagle, the 4-H camp in North Georgia, where future generations of young people can see it beautifully-framed in a shadow box, and learn about the girl who set goals and attained them. Rea, when she first saw the framed quilt, was moved to tears. It will be part of her legacy, and that’s important just now, because she has been told she is terminally ill with cancer. Shonda McFadden, of Vista Care, which is provid ing hospice care for Rea, explained that the Vista Care Foundation funded the fram ing, as part of its goal of help ing with last wishes. “It had really been on her heart,” McFadden said of Rea’s feelings. The challenge of framing the intricate quilt for future preservation fell to Connie Potter, owner of The Mitred Corner, who was on hand to help carry the huge shadow box frame into Rea’s living room so that she could see it before it was moved to Rock Eagle. The Houston County Extension Office and 4-H leaders here made the arrangements for the framed I -800-DON ATE-CARS I-I f— v * The donation is tax deductible * Pick ~ up is free ▼ OH net .We take care of all the paperwork. 1 -800-DONATE-CARS (i-soo-366-2832) y ** ~Vt= Welcome Center Now OPEN!
