Governor signs bills to
support state’s leading
industry
By Joe Brady, Editor
for
The Times
Governor Brian Kemp,
last week signed two bills
to strengthen Georgia’s
number one industry at a
ceremony in Bainbridge.
Agriculture
Commissioner Tyler Harper
was on hand while Kemp
signed HB545, creating the
Agricultural Commodity
Commission for Citms
Fmits and SB220, creating
the Georgia F armland
Conservation Fund. Both
bills received bi-partisan
support in the legislature.
“I want to thank
Commissioner Tyler
Harper for his leadership
and dedication to Georgia’s
agriculture industry,”
Kemp said during the press
conference.
HB 545 authorizes the
creation of an Agricultural
Commodity Commission
for Citms Fmits, which
will be composed of five
members appointed by the
Agriculture Commission.
The Commission will have
the ability to fund research,
education, promotion, and
marketing programs for the
industry’s benefit.
SB 220 will create
the Georgia Farmland
Conservation Fund, which
will be administered by the
Department of Agriculture
and will provide matching
grants to holders of
agricultural conservation
easements.
Agribusiness provides
over $73billion and sustains
341k jobs throughout the
state.

CHECK OUT
OUR
Focused on Vision
Millen Lions Club Extends
Outreach to Burke County
By Charlie Rossman, Special Contributor
for
The Times
Bolstered by past
successes of the vision
screening projects in
Jenkins County Schools
and armed with its state-
of-the-art vision screener,
the Millen Lions Club has
taken its vision screening
service to the children of
Burke County.
“We were pleased to
respond when we got the
call from Burke County,”
said Robert Boatright,
Lions Club President.
“Lions Club International
serves to help people all
over the world; expanding
the Millen Club’s outreach
into a neighboring county
was an easy decision”.
So far, the Club has
screened almost 800
students in the 3rd and 5th
grades. 152 students were
found to need the attention
of an eye care professional.
Many children are bom
with poor eyesight and
therefore do not know their
vision is abnormal. They
may not complain of not
being able to see clearly.
The screening process
does not require that the
child be able to read,
recognize shapes, or even
speak. They just look at
the screener, which is three
feet away, and the process
is completed in a matter
of seconds. The result is
either that their eyes are
healthy or that they need to
see an eyecare professional.
Follow-up with an eye
doctor is key because,
while trained in the use
of the screener, the Club
member who performs
the test is not a licensed
professional. Screening
leads to a recommendation,
not a diagnosis.
The Lion’s Club still has
some work to do and will
travel to Sardis to screen
children in the elementary
school there in early May.
Discussion is already
underway for screening
additional Burke County
students next Fall.
