Transport a flatbed hauling service. Zoning is PD/R-1. Letters and
pictures have been received from several neighbors objecting to this
application. Ms Huber stated that she and her husband use a 40’
trailer to haul construction materials around the country Originally
they parked the trailer on the property. When informed by neighbors
that this was against City ordinances, they moved the trailer. They

elsewhere. Neighbor complaints also concerned yard storage. Ms

Schools receive ‘grades’

Camden County Schools
received its first “progress re
port” since Georgia received
a federal waiver from No
Child Left Behind.
The school system is now
using the Georgia College
and Career Ready Perform
ance Index, which uses a 100-
point scale to measure
schools’ progress over time,
according to superintendent
Dr. Will Hardin.
“Unlike (Adequate Yearly
Progress) used under NCLB,
the CCRPI provides more
than a snapshot of achieve
ment on standardized tests,”
Hardin stated in a news re
lease. “Change, while often
challenging, is inevitable, so
we accept it and forge ahead.
If the CCRPI is truly an ef
fective measure of overall
school performance, our re
sults will continue to be a
source of community pride.”
Camden County Schools
routinely met AYP standards
under No Child Left Behind.
The performance index
comprises three categories:
achievement (up to 70
points); progress (up to 15
points); and achievement gap
(up to 15 points). It takes into
account factors like test re
sults, post-high school readi
ness and graduation rates (for
high school) and high school
readiness (for elementary and
middle grades).
The school system’s over
all achievement average
measured 59.86 points. It
notched a progress score of
10.34 points and an achieve
ment gap score of 12.81
points.
The system’s total index
score on the 100-point scale
is 88.49, according to a chart
released by Camden County
Schools.

The future was not looking bright for the cedar tree on the corner of Wheeler Street and
Hall Street in St. Marys, as St. Marys Public Works employee James Elliott (above left) dis
plays. A large hole had developed on the trunk of the tree and continued to get worse
through water intrusion.The St. Marys Tree Board had been asked to condemn the tree and
allow it to be cut down.The trunk of the tree still looked structurally sound despite the large
hole, and the overall appearance of the tree looked healthy, so the tree board, in conjunction
with public works, decided to fill the hole with a foam-like substance and form it to look like
a knot on the side of the tree (above right). Because of this, the tree should enjoy many more
years.
