Rachel ReichmannTurns 100

By Lynette NorrisGreene Publishing, Inc.

Saturday afternoon, Oct. 15 was a big day for thefamily of Rachel Reichmann as they gathered at herhome to celebrate her 100th birthday.

An estimated crowd of over 200 family, friendsand other well-wishers dropped by her home to con-gratulate her on a long life and wish her many hap-py returns.See Friday’s paper for the complete story.

Happy Birthday, Rachel Reichmann.

We’ve just completedour first month of a civildisobedience movementknown as “Occupy WallStreet” or OWS. It hassporadically spread toother cities in America –this past weekend, therewas an Occupy Valdostamarch. What to make ofall this?

The original move-ment in New York’s low-er Manhattan has the mostendurance – about three hundredprotesters are camping in Zuccot-ti Park. They are joined by day-protesters for various events.The other protests across thecountry are primarily daymarches, generally on the week-end.

The protesters are mostlyyoung, disaffected idealists.Their themes are varied. Theyhave used social media – notablyFacebook and Twitter – to orga-nize their effort. This is anAmerican takeoff on the ArabSpring uprisings we saw earlierthis year, but OWS lacks the cen-tral organizing theme that wesaw played out across NorthAfrica.

Most of the statements com-ing from OWS are leftist – stopcorporate greed; living wage;universal health care; defund thePentagon, etc. I think the coremembers of this group are theusual suspects that picket andsometimes riot at every G8 oreconomic summit around theworld. Now they are being joinedby various groups who have abeef to air – public sector unionsand even small Nazi and Commu-nist cells. This is creating evenmore confusion.

It is interesting that the cen-troid of this protest is a privatelyowned (but publicly accessible)park. It’s hard to imagine the val-ue of three-quarters of an acre inlower Manhattan; presumablythe owners are part of the 1 per-

cent that OWS rails against.When the owners tried to get theprotesters to leave the park lastweek so it could be cleaned (don’tyou know the place is a mess),they were unsuccessful.

The OWS protesters claimthey are part of the 99 percent.This is a takeoff on PresidentObama’s theme that he wants toraise taxes on the top one percentof wage earners to pay for newspending. So these OWS clownsare saying they represent me. Iobject! I adamantly refuse to getcaught up in this “class warfare”idea that motivates the left.

More precisely, the presidentsays that we need to “raise taxeson millionaires and billionairesbecause they aren’t paying theirfair share,” whatever that is. Idid a little fact-checking (whichof course lefties hate). In themost recent 2010 tax returns, theIRS reports that the top 1 percentearned more than $380, 000 in ad-justed gross income. Did youknow they paid 38 percent of allthe income taxes? If 38 percentisn’t fair, according to the presi-dent, what is?

Just to “go on the record,”I’ve never earned $380K in a sin-gle tax year – not even close.That’s a lot of money to me, but Ihave no objection to those whoearn that much. In fact, I admirethem … unless their name isBernie Madoff. I admire them,but I’m not envious because thegood book says that envy iswrong. It is not going to help me

one iota to tear these peo-ple down. Instead, I hopethat we can create moreof these high wage earn-ers because it is their in-vestments that createnew business, new prod-ucts, and more jobs.

Back to the dissi-dents at Zuccotti Park –I’m not sure their ideal-ism can survive the firstbout of nasty winter

weather which isn’t too distant.A little freezing rain or snow willtest their resolve, but even so, Idon’t think we’ve heard the endto this. Some have predicted thatwe’ll see a resurgence in 2012,with a spike at the two partynominating conventions in Tam-pa and Charlotte. The disastrous1968 Democrat Convention inChicago comes to mind.

It is an easy thing to sit faraway from these events andsuggest that the authoritiesneed to wade in and disbursethis movement, but history tellsus that more often than not,things can go terribly wrongand spin out-of-control.Throughout the 20th Century,popular movements that arebroken-up by the police resultin deaths, martyrs, and a widercause. In this country, we sawthis repeatedly with the late1960 Vietnam War protestswhich culminated in the Na-tional Guard firing into studentprotesters at Kent State.

There has been an effort bythe media to portray OWS asthe liberal version of the TeaParty, but that is a stretch. TheTea (Taxed Enough Already)crowd is much more organizedand respectful. The Tea Partyis a lot closer to the 99 percentthan the claim made by OWS. Iand many other ordinaryAmericans like you can identi-fy with the Tea Party but wantnothing whatsoever to do withOccupy Wall Street.

Last Wednesdayevening we were travel-ing on I-10 (Madisonarea) toward our homewhen a harrowing expe-rience, a tire shreddingapart on our car sent uscareening off I-10 afterdoing a 360 on the high-way and sending ourblood pressure above thelimit. As we were try-ing to contact AAA forroad service with dark-ness coming on, a mostkind man named DaleKinnard pulled to theside in his truck to see ifhe could help. Aftercalming our nerves with

reassuring words and acell phone call, we soonhad a “blue light” cruis-er behind us for protec-tion. The officer withthe “blue light” vehicle,Officer W. Walker, alsohelped with changing ofa tire and additionalcalming influence. Weconsider ourselves verylucky to be in a statewith such caring indi-viduals and want tomake a public thank youto both of them for ser-vice rendered above andbeyond the call of duty.We hope this item will bepublished in your paperto show the folks ofMadison County howlucky they are to havefolks like this as neigh-bors.

In The Act

My daughters and I went to see the movie Coura-geous this past weekend. What a fantastic movie. Ifyou haven’t gone to see it, I highly recommend thatyou do. The movie revolves around four law en-forcement officers and their jobs, but dwells deeperinto their Christianity and jobs/duties as a father totheir children.

This movie is one of too few movies that havebeen released recently, as “faith-based films.” Coura-geous is produced by Sherwood Pictures, out of Al-bany, Ga, which has also produced the moviesFlywheel, Facing The Giants, and Fireproof. Fire-proof became the highest-grossing independent filmof 2008, with over $33,000,000.

I, for one, am tired of all “new and improved”movies of today’s times, that are filled with so muchbad language and sex scenes that the plot of themovie is hard to even follow. It is virtually impossi-ble to find a “family friendly” movie to watch any-more.

I applaud the producers of films such as Fire-proof, Courageous, Soul Surfer, The Blind Side, Let-ters To God and The Passion of the Christ. They aretaking a stand against the evil of the world and try-ing to keep God in our lives, while so many othersare backing down from groups such as the ACLU.

Reports and statistics show that Hollywood isbeginning to see a demand for more “faith-based”films. Let’s hope and pray that this “demand” con-tinues and that we will begin to see more and moreof these movies in the theaters.

If it’s possible to bring God back into Hollywood(of all places) one should hope that our governmentcould be our next target. If enough Christianswould grow a backbone and stand up for God, Chris-tianity, and what this country was founded on, thenwe could take this country back. We could bringback prayer in school, the Ten Commandments onthe courthouse lawn, and law and order on ourstreets.

Our Founding Fathers were God-fearing men.Somehow, we have ALLOWED that right to be takenfrom us. Too many political “Christians” havebacked down from groups (such as the ACLU) andWE keep voting these people in office and then notholding them accountable.

A nation, which does not remember what it wasyesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what itis trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if wedo not know where we came from or what we havebeen about. — Woodrow Wilson

With the upcoming election year quickly ap-proaching; do your homework. Search out the back-ground and beliefs of each candidate (localgovernment, state government, congressional gov-ernment, and presidency.) Search out answers onwhat their beliefs are on God, Country and Govern-ment (for those three things should be in that order;not reversed.)

Matthew 7:15-16: “You will know them by theirfruits.”

Don’t look at what they are telling us or promis-ing us. Look at their track record (What have theydone in the past? For, what they have done in thepast is what they will do in the future.)

Take your family to see the movie Courageousand then go home and start living it. The challengein the movie is to become a Godly father/parent. Weshould all take that responsibility very personally.For what we teach our children at home will followthem into their adulthood and for generations tocome.

Christians need to stand up and become united,in our homes and in our great country.

Until then….see you around the town.

Let’s Bring God BackInto Hollywood And

Into America

According to a press release issued by theDEA, “the nine-count indictment charges all de-fendants with conspiracy to possess with intentto distribute controlled substances, namely oxy-codone and oxymorphone (Count 1), and conspir-acy to commit health care fraud (Count 9).Several of the defendants also face substantivecharges of possession with intent to distributecontrolled substances (Counts 2-6, 8), and at-tempted possession of controlled substances(Count 7).

“Charged in the indictment are AimanIzzedin Aryan, 40, of Pinecrest, Emerson Car-mona, 40, of Miami, Frank J. Ballesteros, M.D.,57, of Miami, Gerardo Gomez, 38, of Miami,Juan De Dios Gomez, 40, of Miami, Danay C.Manso, 22, of Miami, Danilo Falcon, 38 of Mia-mi, Eliezer Salgado, 29, of Hialeah, FranciscoHernandez, 57, of Miami, Leroy Paige, 49, ofMadison, Alyssa Lyn Paige, 32, of Madison, Cyn-thia Suzette Adderley, 53, of Ft. Pierce, Victor D.Alexander, 50, of Ft. Lauderdale, Aaron LamarAllen, 44, of Ft. Lauderdale, Henry Louis Conley,Jr., 53, of Miami, Hattie Mae Green, 53, of Mia-mi, Petronella Smith Howard, 52, of Ft. Pierce,Eric Fyke Miller, 42, of Ft. Lauderdale, AnnieMims Simmons, 72, of Miami, Bobbie Lee Ander-son, 58, of Gifford, Denise Darcelle Dardy, 48, ofMiami, Margaret Marie Elliott, 54, of Ft. Pierce,Billy Joe McCoy, 53,of Ft. Pierce, and Ronald Re-gains, 56, of Ft. Lauderdale.

“According to the indictment, from as earlyas November 2007 September 2011, defendantsGerardo Gomez, Juan De Dios Gomez, and Danay

C. Manso operated and utilized pain clinics inMiami-Dade and Broward Counties. These painclinics housed physicians, including defendantFrank J. Ballesteros, M.D., who would fraudu-lently prescribe oxycodone and oxymorphone forco-conspirator beneficiaries of Medicare andother prescription drug insurance plans. Thebeneficiaries would then present the fraudulentprescriptions obtained from the Gomezes’ painclinics at complicit pharmacies operated by de-fendants Aiman Izzedin Aryan and EmersonCarmona. Once the prescriptions were filled,Aryan and Carmona would bill Medicare, andother insurers, for the cost of the prescriptions,knowing that the drugs were medically unneces-sary and were being re-sold by the beneficiaries.

“Defendants Leroy Paige, Alyssa Lyn Paige,Cynthia Suzette Adderley, Victor D. Alexander,Aaron Lamar Allen, Henry Louis Conley, Jr.,Hattie Mae Green, Petronella Smith Howard,Eric Fyke Miller, and Annie Mims Simmons fa-cilitated the drug-trafficking and health carefraud conspiracies by recruiting the corrupthealth insurance beneficiaries to visit theGomezes’ pain clinics and Dr. Ballesteros. Often,these recruiter defendants further participatedby transporting the beneficiaries to the painclinics to obtain the prescriptions and then tothe pharmacies where they were filled. At thepharmacies, these defendants would receive andtake control of the drugs from the beneficiaries.Once these defendants had the drugs, they woulddistribute them to Gerardo Gomez, Juan De DiosGomez, Danilo Falcon, and Eliezer Salgado.

“Defendants Bobbie Lee Anderson, DeniseDarcelle Dardy, Margaret Marie Elliott, Billy JoeMcCoy, and Ronald Regains were beneficiarieswho posed as patients to obtain the fraudulentprescriptions for oxycodone and oxymorphone,which they then sold.

“The indictment contains a forfeiture allega-tion seeking approximately $40,000,000, which islisted as the amount of proceeds derived by thedefendants from the drug trafficking offensescharged in Counts 1 to 8 of the indictment.

“If convicted, the defendants face a statutorymaximum penalty of 20 years in prison onCounts 1 to 8, and a statutory maximum penaltyof 10 years in prison on Count 9.

“An indictment is only an accusation and thedefendants are presumed innocent until provenguilty.”

He was se-lected as chairman of this group in 1964 and wasasked to accept a position with the State Departmentof Education. Simon assumed duties as Consultantin School Accreditation in the Division of TeacherEducation, Certification and Accreditation. Duringthis time he also served as a member of the Profes-sional Practices Commission.

Simon retired in January 1984 and returned tohis remodeled home in Lee where he was born. Hewas an active member of Lee First Baptist Churchwhere he was ordained in 1949.

Simon was preceded in his death by his parents,Simon Abe Kinsey, Sr. and Ollie Kent Kinsey; hiswife of 65 years, Ernestine Ezell Kinsey; and his life-long friend, Walter Graham Sr. He is survived by hisson Bobby (Debbie) Kinsey and daughter, Candy(Tony) Sisto of Lee, Abe (Ann) Kinsey of Oyster Bayand William (Wanda) Kinsey of Crawfordville, ninegrandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren; and alarge extended family, including Walter Graham Jr.

Inmates cost people tax money, andBennett feels they should be out working on pro-jects just like this one. “If you do the crime, you dothe time. You don’t sit around in jail all day playingcards.”

“These people pay taxes just like everybodyelse,” he said, indicating the small grocery, thesmall residence next to it, and the surroundingneighborhood. But side of the road was so over-grown that no one could see the little house, orbusiness with the lot full of cars behind it. Now,with improved visibility, both places are safer, andwith the adjacent roadway cleared of trash, CloverFarms Grocery doesn’t have to worry about its cus-tomers being turned off by the eyesore and takingtheir business elsewhere.

Bennett, using his own truck, gas, tools andlawn mower had managed to cut a wide swath inthe in the vines and shrubs and gather up a largebag of trash.

“When people have a problem, you need to beable to step in there and solve it,” he said. “It’s timeto get on the ball and be able to work together, andI got out here to show people that this is what I willbe doing.”

Shear Goodness Event In Lee Oct. 22

By Lynette NorrisGreene Publishing, Inc.

With a total of $13,477 in contributions as of October 7, CampaignChair Cathy Bass said that the United Way was “off to a goodstart.” The United Way goal for Madison County is $120,000 byNov. 15, but the Celebrity Waiter Dinner, a major fundraiserat Shelby’s, was still in the offing for that evening, andthose present were in high spirits and looking forward toit.

The team met at the Madison Senior Center for aspaghetti lunch to discuss business, with a little dose oflevity to make everything more enjoyable. Ginger Jarvisplayed a little “dinner music” on the piano, “NothingCould be Finer Than to Be in Carolina,” and everyonesang “Happy Birthday” to Megan Earnhardt, Campaign As-sociate of United Way of Big Bend, whose birthday was thefollowing day. Two of the men who had worn white shirts tothe spaghetti meal took turns tying large bibs around each other’snecks.

When the discussion turned to the celebrity waiter dinner, there was dis-cussion of United Way table cards, brochures, posters and a large banner forthe dining area; everyone was pleased to have so many people who had volun-teered to participate as Celebrity Waiters, enough to divide up into three teamsso all the volunteers would get a chance to serve. Although there were otherevents scheduled for the same evening, since the Celebrity Waiter Dinnerwould run from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., most felt that there would be enough time for

people to fit in the dinner at Shelby’s with their other events.The second major event, the appreciation dinner given by the United Way

team for the “Leadership Level” contributors of $500 or more, took upthe remainder of the meeting. The original date of Nov. 5 would

not have allowed enough time to get invitations out, and no onewanted to go as late as December because there were toomany holiday conflicts by then. Weekend dates were dis-cussed, but some of those present felt that Novemberweekends would be far too crowded with family obliga-tions for a lot of people. Fridays belong to football inMadison County, and Wednesdays are church nights formany.

That left Tuesdays and Thursdays. The date chosen was Nov. 29, the Tuesday after

Thanksgiving; time enough for people to get hungry againafter Thanksgiving dinner, but before the busy Christmas

season had begun; there was no football and no other foresee-able conflicts that anyone was aware of. The event will be a recep-

tion held in the dining hall at the Senior Center, chosen so that thecontributors could see firsthand where some of their contributions were going.

Kim Halfhill mentioned the possibility of coming up with some really cre-ative invitations to make the event more memorable.

“No singing postcards, Kim,” someone laughed. “We don’t want to scareoff contributors!”

“Oh, but the idea is, they’d pay us to STOP singing,” said Ginger Jarvis.“Believe me, they’d pony up.”

United Way Team Meeting Says Campaign“Off to a Good Start”

The rain came andwent, and shortly beforesix p.m. Friday evening, afew people were drying offthe rows of folding chairsin front of the courthouse. Others struggledwith the poster boardsthat kept trying to takeflight on the strong, ran-dom gusts of wind.

Representatives fromRefuge House, WholeChild and St. Leo Univer-sity had tables full of in-formation laid out forpeople as they gatheredthat Oct. 7 evening underan overcast sky to hearSheila Combs and severalother speakers, includingSupervisor of ElectionsJada Woods Williams,Vice-Mayor Myra Valen-tine, Beth Ebberson of theJunior Auxiliary, ColonelTamera Poynter (one offive women who haveachieved that rank in theFlorida Department ofCorrections) representingMadison Correctional In-stitute, Debra McGrew,District III Supervisor ofRefuge House and KaomiGhent.

“People ask, ‘why

don’t you just leave?’”said Combs in her open-ing speech, alluding to thefact that many womenmay feel trapped in suchrelationships, or be un-able to leave for a varietyof reasons; at least, notwithout a helping handreaching out to them froma friend, a relative or anorganization such asRefuge House. “Until youhave walked in that per-son’s shoes, please do notbe judgmental, be sup-portive.”

Strong gusts of windprevented Combs fromlighting a candle in mem-ory of those who had losttheir lives at the hand ofan abuser, but she askedeveryone present to sim-ply imagine the candle litand spreading its glow forthose who didn’t make it.

She also made a pointof thanking Madison Po-lice Chief Gary Calhounfor his attendance andshow of support forRefuge House.

Several other speak-ers continued undeterredby the occasional posteror handfuls of papers thatwent flying on the gusts ofwind. Jada Woods

Williams had strongwords of hope and en-couragement for victimsof domestic violence, andMyra Valentine read aproclamation on behalf ofMayor Jim Catron, nam-ing October as DomesticViolence AwarenessMonth. Beth Ebbersonannounced that the Ju-nior Auxiliary had put to-gether 56 emergency bagsof toiletry items forwomen who had had toflee suddenly from dan-gerous situations. Col.Tamera Poynter said thatMCI employees had gath-ered items of clothing forRefuge House, and added,to a round of applause,that the Department ofCorrections had a zerotolerance for domestic vi-olence, “and we need tohave a zero tolerance for iteverywhere.”

“I am the face of do-mestic violence,” saidKaomi Ghent, a survivor.“The faces are old andyoung, men and women,of every race, creed andcolor.”

Like many, she hadonce thought that domes-tic violence happenedonly to poor and unedu-

cated women, yet eventhough she was a brightcollege student from aChristian family withmany plans for the future,and had met a young manwho seemed to have manyof those same qualities,she found herself trappedin a two-year nightmareof violence she describedas “vicious.”

“My final encounterwith that young man waswhen paramedics werestanding over my brokenbody,” said Ghent.

In the interveningyears, she had met andmarried another youngman who was kind, won-derful, “and taught me tolove without fear.” Shespoke not only as a sur-vivor, but as a witnessthat pain can be overcomeand lives can be rebuilt.She now has her B.A. inpsychology and counselsother women in distress.

“Education andawareness are impor-tant,” said Ghent, whohad missed the red flagsand warning signs of a vi-olent personality in thefirst young man becauseshe hadn’t known aboutthem.

“Self-esteem is anoth-er important tool, becausethere is still a lot ofshame connected to it (do-mestic violence),” shesaid. Women need to real-ize that they are entitledto respect and that no onehas the right to abusethem – and that takescourage.

“I was made for God,by God,” she said, andclosed her remarks with ahymn she described as asong of hope, belting out apowerful rendition of“His Eye is on the Spar-row.”

As Debra McGrewclosed, thanking everyonefor their support in com-ing out to celebrate thelives of survivors, a roguegust of wind overturned

baskets of brochures onthe tables and sent a bliz-zard of papers flying intothe courthouse shrub-bery.

Moments later, thewomen gathered aroundthe large rubber tub filledwith the 56 emergencybags of toiletry items.The only things unmovedby the strong, gustingwinds all evening, eachbag bore the inscription:“Because I am a Woman, Iam Strong.”

For Madison native Ben Harris, MadisonCounty has always been home, even though he mayhave spent several years living in other citiesaround the state, and it was Madison County thathe came home to 26 years ago.

He now serves on the Board of Trustees for theFirst United Methodist Church of Madison, as wellas several committees looking to bring economicdevelopment to the area. Since retiring in 2008, hehas also served as Chair for the Madison CountyMemorial Hospital Special District Board, a jobthat he admits has not been easy.

“If I had known two and a half years ago whatI would be doing, I would have thought long andhard about it,” he told the 55 Plus Club at one pointduring his presentation on “Faith, Family, LocalHistory and the New Hospital.”

For Harris, Madison’s new hospital-yet-to-come is a culmination of many, many miracles –far too many, he believes, to have been mere coin-cidence. From large lump-sum reimbursementchecks arriving from Medicare just as the currenthospital was on the brink of not meeting payroll,to other unexpected checks arriving at other op-portune moments that allowed the facility to keepits doors open, to the citizen approval of fundingsources for indigent care, to the arrival of just theright person to take the helm as CEO, to the ap-proval of the largest USDA loan in the state’s his-tory, to all the dozens and dozens of otherapprovals and permits that have been granted inthe intervening months as plans move forward forthe new facility, Harris sees the many pieces of thepuzzle coming together as evidence of the guidinghand of the Lord.

“The Lord wants to bless Madison County, notjust the hospital,” Harris told the gathered clubmembers. “But the hospital is a good start.”

The process began six years ago, he said, whenthe board and administration agreed to replace theoutdated 1954 facility with one that would bringhealth care for Madison County and the surround-ing area into the 21st century, incorporating aholistic approach to treating the patient: physical-ly, as well as spiritually, emotionally and mentally.

“Faith, family and local history” will all bepart of the fundamental premise of patient care atthe new hospital, which Harris hopes will beginconstruction in January of 2012, and be completedabout 18 months later.

“We have so much to do,” said Harris. “And solittle time to accomplish it, to give you the best rur-al hospital possible in the region, if not the state.”

Harris talked aboutseveral initiatives theboard has undertaken tobring about the best rur-al hospital possible, in-cluding the newstate-of-the-art digital in-formation technologysystem that has replacedthe old 1985 computersystem. Not only will itallow near-instanta-neous transmission ofmedical data and imagesto specialists in other lo-cations, it has also made

the hospital eligible for a $1.5 million incentivecheck from Medicare for installing the system wellahead of the mandated 2015 deadline. This is yetanother check arriving at an opportune time, saidHarris. It is expected sometime in December, andit will allow the hospital to pay off some high-in-terest old debt and even put some cash into a rainyday fund, “operating even” for the first time inyears.

Another initiative, “achieving financial stabil-ity” seems within reach now as well, he said, sinceMedicare has increased per diem reimbursementrates, and the hospital has seen a marked increasein use by residents, bringing in critical revenue.

Improved patient care is another importantarea, with a new position dedicated to coordinat-ing staff training and proficiency in the latest pa-tient care, especially in areas like wound caremanagement, and another overseeing the swingbed program and infection control.

Finally, there is the new hospital, the biggestinitiative of all; or at least, the most obvious. Withit, Harris envisions a new level of health caremade available to the people of Madison and theirfamilies as well, with patient rooms that have ad-joining rooms for families to stay with critically illloved ones 24/7, a full time chaplain, a healingroom and a healing garden, things incorporated byother modern state-of-the-art hospitals, recogniz-ing the mind-body connection of health care andthe need to treat the whole patient.

Harris then answered several questions, in-cluding one about what would become of the oldhospital building once the new facility is up andrunning; currently, plans are for it to become of-fice space for the school district.

In closing, Harris asked the club members tocontinue their support of the new hospital as theprocess moves forward.

“Please, pray for us,” he said.

At the Refuge House – Madison Outreach Event,Sheila Combs, Kaomi Ghent and others stressed theimportance of awareness and education. Knowinghow to help victims and where to turn for help if onebecomes a victim is important, but perhaps most im-portant is how to avoid becoming a victim.

Many times, women find themselves in violent re-lationships because they didn’t know about the redflags that often accompany a violent personality – thewarning signs that this particular person may end upabusing them.

Refuge House and other domestic violence agen-cies list these eight common predictors of domestic vi-olence:

• Grew up in a violent family• Tends to use force or violence to “solve” prob-

lems• Abuses drugs or alcohol• Has poor self esteem• Has strong, traditional ideas about gender roles• Is jealous of you and your relationships with

friends and family (may later escalate to forbidding youto spend any time with anyone except him)

• Plays with guns, knives or other lethal weapons• Expects you to follow his/her ordersIf women are attuned to these eight common pre-

dictors, often they can learn to spot the abuser in time.However, if they do end up in a dangerous or even a po-tentially deadly relationship, there is help and a placeof safety.

For more information about the help that is avail-able, or to find out how you can help end the societalconditions that foster abuse, or to set up counseling ses-sions, contact Refuge House – Madison Outreach, at973-4144.

The mainstage entertainment begins at 12:30 p.m. and willinclude performances from the Grammy Award-winningcountry singer David Ball as well as Alibi, Southern Rain andBroken Trust.

Throughout the day, visitors will be able to view displaysfrom the Florida Forest Service and the Fish and Wildlife Con-servation Commission, walk through demonstrations of his-toric Florida Cracker lifestyle, visit the classic car show andlisten to storytellers under the pines.

Admission for the event is free.“For the past 56 years, Taylor County and the surrounding

area have celebrated the important impact forestry has had onour region, and the role it will play in our future,” said festi-val representative Mark Viola.

In 1955, the citizens of Taylor County decided to stagea county-wide “Pine Tree Festival” as an educational toolto reduce forest fires that were crippling the county’s eco-nomic base—the timber industry. Over the years, the festi-val grew and accomplished its aim so well that by 1965,Taylor County could boast the lowest fire record in the na-tion, prompting then Florida Governor Hayden Burns andthe Florida Cabinet to proclaim Taylor County the “TreeCapital of the South,” a distinction it still holds. U.S. Con-gressman Don Fuqua made the same proclamation on thefloor of the Congress. At the urging of Governor Burns,the Pine Tree Festival then became known as the FloridaForest Festival.

The goal of the Florida Forest Festival became, and re-mains that of promoting the benefits of “Forests Forever.”

When it comes to lis-tening to God’s call andmaking a difference,Meghan Harris is a per-son to look up to for inspi-ration. While manypeople wait and wait forGod’s call to become clear,Harris recognized the callas soon as it was made andwent to action right away.

Her story begins inAfrica in June of this year.She spent six weeks of thesummer traveling acrossAfrica, from Tanzania toSouth Africa; visiting a to-tal of six countries. Sheexplained the momentGod’s call hit her. “I havealways had very vividdreams and one earlymorning while asleep in abunk bed under a mosqui-to net in Tanzania, I had adream. When I woke up Iclimbed out of bedgrabbed my iPad and be-gan journaling. Thatmorning God showed mewhat He wanted me to dowhen I came back to Madi-son.”

As for why God choseher, she has no idea. Shesaid, “Someone cried outto The Father and forwhatever reason He choseto use me to answer theirprayers. So for the nextweeks in Africa I made aplan to put into actionwhen I came back.”

That is when Harrisbegan working on her bas-kets. She contacted Soney-da Jarvis, who is in chargeof the Migrant WorkerFamilies’ program inMadison, and asked whatshould be in each basket.

Each basket contains 5pounds of rice, 4 poundsof beans, a bag of Maseca(corn flour), and either a51-ounce can of Gatoradeor a few hygiene products.

“Mrs. Jarvis said shehad 60 families. That did-n’t become my goal, be-cause a goal is somethingyou hope to achieve. Iknew since God gave methe dream that all myhope was in Him. TheBible says He completeswhat He starts. So thiswasn’t a goal, this wasmore like a fact. Therewould be 60 basketsfilled,” she said of hertask.

She was able to ac-complish this taskthrough the help of manyindividuals in the commu-nity. Madison CommunityBank, Junior Auxilaryand even Dusty Cooperfrom south Floridahelped. Together, it waspossible to fill 60 basketsand reusable bags withfood, hygiene products, aSpanish Bible and a Span-ish Tract.

“This was a miracledone by God. So, He getsall the praise, not me oranyone else. He alone getsall the honor and praise,”said Harris.

Harris plans to contin-ue this ministry in the fu-ture. She hoped to be ableto finish more at the begin-ning of the 2012. She said,“I am hoping that it be-comes an ongoing thing.”

Anyone or any orga-nization that would like tohelp in the future are wel-comed and encouraged to.Monetary donations canbe sent to Fellowship Bap-tist Church, memoed asthe Migrant Worker Fami-lies.

Meghan Harris, along with the help of MadisonCommunity Bank, Junior Auxilary and even DustyCooper from south Florida, were able to make 60bags for the migrant worker families.

Send Washington a message! AtPresidency 5, in Orlando, 11 Madison-ian delegates from the local Republi-can Party, said: “We, the people, arestill in charge of this Country. It’s not,we, the bureaucrats!”

Led by Princess Akerman, a fivetime veteran of the affair, the delega-tion consisted of J.P. Maultsby, Chair-man, Madison County RepublicanExecutive Committee, and MyraValentine, City Commissioner, WillaBranham, Matt Webb, Mark Branham,Cindi Perron, Linda Bezick, RandyGray, Bob Bezick and Jenny Andrews.

They watched Herman Cain, for-mer Godfather’s Pizza Chief Execu-tive, roll up a stupendous victory inFlorida’s straw poll. Florida’s presi-dential primary is scheduled for Janu-ary 31, 2012. Cain is a hard-liner onsocial issues and immigration andsupports huge cuts to the federal gov-

ernment - policies that captivate main-stream republicanism today.

The delegates met with, and lis-tened to, not only Cain, but Gov. RickPerry, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul andMichele Bachmann.

The straw poll results were: Her-man Cain, number one at 37.1% of thevote; followed by number two, RickPerry at 15.4% of the vote.

The man for all seasons hasturned out to be Herman Cain andthere is some strong feeling that heshould now be taken seriously as aPresidential candidate. The three dayevent revealed a lot, but the delegationawaits the rest of the campaign withanticipation. The turn-around artist,known as “The Hermanator,” may yetget to finish his sentence on PresidentObama’s economic policy, when he de-clared it “bull.....!” (Washington Post,9/27/2011.)

2011-2012

By Lynette NorrisGreene Publishing, Inc.

“Give me a choice between a state championship and a weekend at FCA (Fel-lowship of Christian Athletes) camp, and I’ll take the FCA camp,” said head foot-ball coach Mike Coe to the Rotarians at the Oct. 5 meeting. “Because the statechampionship will last a season; what they learn at FCA will impact their livesforever.”

Coe’s “winning isn’t everything” philosophy may have seemed strange tosome, but he went on to explain more about what he believed was unique to theCowboys and what made them such a great team on the field and off. He not onlycoaches them, he tries to build relationships and trust with them, something hebelieves is very important to making them better players. “Rules without rela-tionships equals rebellion,” he says.

Now in his second year of head coaching, Coe believes that what the playerslearn in his program will stay with them for a lifetime. It isn’t that great footballis not important; on the contrary, football practice sessions at Madison CountyHigh School are what he described as “fast and furious,” with everyone in con-stant motion for two and a half hours (“any longer than that that, and you startto lose them”). There is almost no standing around time between drills and ex-ercises; when the first few finish one drill, they are setting up for the next onewhile the others finish. He does very little “conditioning” with his team, pre-ferring instead, good hard practices, drills and team building efforts.

However, there is also life off the football field, and Coe believes the time heand his players spend addressing that as well makes them not only better play-ers but better people.

In addition to the FCA camp in Marianna, the Cowboys also visit Camp Sky-line at Lookout Mountain, Alabama. Although it’s usually a camp for girls, Coeuses the high-wire drills at the camp as a team-building exercise. The player upon the wire must learn to absolutely trust his teammates not to let him fall, andthe ones on the ground must pay absolute attention to one on the wire to keephim from falling.

Something else the Cowboys do differently is hold a “Cowboy Mom’s Night.”Since many of his players don’t have a father living at home, Coe’s solution notonly addresses that reality, but also gets the single parents more involved in theirsons’ athletics and is fun for everyone.

Since he pays attention to more than just their athletic ability, he expectsmore from his players than just great football. He expects them to take theirschoolwork seriously and do well at it; senior linebacker Rashad Guyton, for ex-ample, who was with Coe for his Rotary address, maintains a 3.0 GPA. He ex-pects good sportsmanlike conduct at all times, whether they win or lose;ironically, after the team lost their first game of the season, it was a proud mo-ment for Coe to watch his players line up afterward to shake hands with the vic-tors in a dignified manner, and an even prouder one later in the locker room.Although the atmosphere was thick and heavy with the disappointment of theloss, there was no blaming or finger-pointing, just a quiet resolve to do betternext time.

Next time, they did. Coe had many words of praise for the wins that fol-lowed, especially for the Cowboys’ great defense, something they take greatpride in.

It all adds up to great football, said Coe, but ultimately, it’s so much morethan that. “It’s more about the process of growing up and becoming a youngman.”

RODERICK K SHAW III, DMD, MAGDMaster of the Academy of General Dentistry

President, Florida Academy of General DentistryLet us feature your questions.

Contact us at (850) 250-5964 or rkshaw@agd.org Ask the Dentist is devoted to answering your

questions about the Art and Science of Dentistry.

Question:My teeth are in bad shape and I want to get dentures. When shouldI get dentures?

Answer:Boy, I get asked this question all the time in various ways.

The patient is frustrated with teeth that hurt or break. They getfrustrated when an old filling falls out. Does that sound familiar?Do things seem to happen at the worst times. Why is that? Whydo you go all year without car trouble just to have a flat tire whengoing on vacation? Sounding more familiar?

In order to better answer the question I looked in my textbooks for the official answer to “When.” It is sort of ironic thatyou can spend years studying the numerous denture techniquesand theories for dentures. There are even journals which donothing but write articles about dentures. Even in that vast bodyof knowledge there is not an answer for the “when” question.

So I am here to tell you my answer (and it is not a sportsanalogy). This question is similar to the “when should I buy anew car?” Often there are a couple of simple repairs that can keepyour car going for a few more years. Other times the repairs canbe made, but will not be durable and you will be back in the shop.But the repairs are sure cheaper than spending $30,000 for a newcar. Or perhaps you would rather just go ahead and get a new car.What is your situation? Do you know?

For patients who do not want to pay for repairs but are notready for taking the plunge into dentures there is a middle of theroad option. There is a service called the transitional partialdenture. This transitional partial will fill in the smile and chewingfunction of the missing teeth. Then, as additional teeth requireextraction, an additional tooth can be added to the partial.

So if I asked you if you wanted to get dentures within the next10 minutes, what would you say? Are you ready to get startedright now, this instant? It is a big step and many people are notready, they are just frustrated. The answer to these questions isone the patient has to answer for themselves. My suggestion, gosee your dentist for a complete and thorough examination. Hecan certainly discuss with you the options for keeping all yourteeth, or extraction and dentures, or the middle of the road choicewith transitional partial dentures. Your dentist can guide you, butthe final decision will be yours to make.

(StatePoint) Almost all childrenhave times when their attention or be-havior veers out of control. From ram-bunctious play to being distractedduring homework time, parents oftenhave to find creative solutions to keeptheir children on task.

However, for some children, hy-peractivity and inattentiveness aremore than an occasional problem.

“Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, orADHD, have behavior problems thatare so frequent and severe they inter-fere with their ability to function ade-quately on a daily basis,” says MarkWolraich, MD, FAAP, of the AmericanAcademy of Pediatrics (AAP).

The AAP has released new guide-lines for physicians for diagnosingand treating ADHD in children be-tween 4 and 18 years of age. The previ-ous guidelines covered childrenbetween 6 and 12 years.

Parents who are concerned abouttheir child’s inattentiveness or hyper-activity should keep the followingsymptom guidelines in mind:

• Early childhood (Ages 3-7): It’snormal for children to sometimes runin circles or ask constant questions atthis age. But if your child does themfrequently, gets injured often, andwon’t sit down to eat or be read to, heor she may be displaying problematichyperactive behavior.

• Middle childhood (Ages 7-12):During this age range, children shouldbe able to complete games, but may oc-casionally act impulsively when excit-ed. Problematic behavior usuallyincludes frequently butting in to otherchildren’s games, interrupting others,and fidgeting quite a bit even whilewatching television.

• Adolescence (Ages 13-18): Nor-mal teens usually engage in somerisky social behavior, while hyperac-tive teens have trouble paying atten-tion, are often restless and fidgetywhile doing quiet activities, interruptand “bug” other people, and frequent-ly have difficulties completing theirschool work.

“ADHD is a chronic condition ofthe brain that can impact children’slearning, ability to regulate their be-havior, social skills and self-esteem,”says Dr. Wolraich. “But once a diagno-sis is confirmed, ADHD treatments areavailable to help them control their be-haviors.”

To help parents understand thenew guidance on ADHD, the AAP haspublished a detailed and updated con-sumer resource book entitled “ADHD:What Every Parent Needs to Know.” Init, parents can find the newest treat-ment options and management strate-gies that balance behavior therapy,medications and parenting tech-niques.

For example, in preschool chil-dren with ADHD, pediatricians arenow being instructed to first try be-havioral interventions, such as groupor individual parent training in be-havior management techniques. Forpreschoolers with moderate to severesymptoms who don’t exhibit signifi-cant improvement after behavior ther-apy, medication may be considered.For elementary school children andadolescents, the AAP recommendsboth medications and behavior thera-py.

More information on the symp-toms and treatment of ADHD can befound on the AAP’s website for par-ents, www.healthychildren.org/adhd.

ADHD is a chronic condition that requires a team approach, according to ex-

perts, including input from patients, their parents, pediatricians, therapists, and

teachers.

Advice For Parents OfHyperactive Kids

A recent consumer survey fromSavers Inc. showed that the averageAmerican family of four plans tospend about $300 on costumes, tricks,and treats this upcoming Halloween.

Instead of breaking the bank be-fore the shopping season begins, savvyparents can nix the store bought cos-tume and opt for designing their own.

Or, if you aren’t handy with theneedle, you can organize a costumeswap in your local community. Lastyear’s pirate costume may be yourtrash, but it’s someone else’s treasure.

By sending your costume to a rev-eler instead of the trash heap, you’llbe doing Mother Nature a favor as wellas your pocketbook.

Think Green ThisHalloween

(StatePoint) As humans, we’re so-cial animals. We need family, friends,and regular social banter to be happy.

But apparently, we’re not the onlysocial animals. There are many thingswe can learn from pets and wildlifeabout friendships and taking care ofeach other. In fact new research hasshown that animals of differentspecies can even develop deep friend-ships with each other.

A new book titled “UnlikelyFriendships: 47 Remarkable Storiesfrom the Animal Kingdom” is hittingthe bestsellers’ lists and showing theworld about the prevalent but uniquebonds between different animalspecies across the world.

“I expect that anyone who lovesanimals, and even those who don`t,can`t help but be touched by these un-usual partnerships,” says author andNational Geographic writer JenniferHolland. “They remind us that kind-ness can rise above anything, even in-stinct.”

For example, when Hurricane Ka-trina slammed into New Orleans in2005, many pet owners were forced toabandon their pets as they rushed tohigh ground. As domesticated animalswere forced to fend for themselves,some formed packs for protection.

Among them were Bob Cat, a malecat, and Bobbi, a female dog, each witha bobbed tail. The fact that Bob Catwas fully blind made the animals’ re-lationship all the more touching. Bob-bi the dog had been keeping Bob Catsafe by barking or nudging him in theright direction.

But such strong bonds are notseen only in domesticated animals.

In China, staff at a natural reservewitnessed an unusual bond between

an abandoned rhesus monkey andwhite dove believed to be part of a birdmigration study. For two months, themacaque and dove shared a space andsnacked on corn together. The monkeyeven showed affection, hugging thedove. If only the dove had hands andarms with which to hug back!

Of course, the most surprising in-terspecies bonds can sometimes be be-tween humans and other animals,particularly predators. When NationalGeographic photographer PaulNicklen was assigned to shoot leopardseals in the Antarctic, he was deter-mined to shoot fast and get out quick.Leopard seals have been known to at-tack humans.

But a 12-foot female took a likingto Nicklen. The seal hovered aroundhim, as if posing for the camera. Shethen hunted and killed a penguin -- theseal’s usual prey -- and offered it toNicklen repeatedly. When the photog-rapher ignored her offering, the sealthen brought him live penguins andblew bubbles in his face, as if exasper-ated with his passive nature.

For more stories of remarkablefriendships in the animal kingdom,check out “Unlikely Friendships.”

“If animals can do it, humans canalso learn to accept their differences,big and small, and believe in the pow-er of friendship,” says Holland. “Afterall, it’s in our nature.”

10/19

By William SmithSpecial From ECB Publishing, Inc.

Much was at stake as the Warrior football team tookthe field last Friday evening in the crisp October twilightair, ushered in by the roar of the many hundreds of Aucil-la faithful who had flocked to the school in commemorationof the ritual that has defined alumni for generations.

For the entirety of the previous week, Aucilla had beencelebrating its 41st year of existence with traditional cele-brations and festivities that mark the anniversary of one ofthe pillars of Jefferson County’s education and social sys-tem.

However, all of these events were simply the horsd’oeuvres that signal the arrival of the much-anticipatedmain course for the special week: the annual homecominggame.

While these circumstances alone would provide abun-dant motivation for any squad of players, the Warriors hadeven more incentive that night, a fire in their bellies sup-plied by the need for one simple thing: redemption.

The week prior to Aucilla’s homecoming, the Warriorshad fallen to their most hated adversary, the Bobcats ofRobert F. Munroe. It was a loss that left players and coacheswith a proverbial black eye that could only be cured by theself-assuring feeling of a well-earned victory.

And so, the student-athletes suited up with a singlementality: to exert their will upon the Seacoast ChristianEagles. Four quarters, 49 points, and one shutout later, theWarriors had finally exorcised the bitter feeling of defeatthat had hung over their heads like a mist.

It was a victory that was earned through complete au-thority in every aspect of the game, including offense, de-fense, and special teams. Almost all of the damage was donein the first half, when the starting squad of Aucilla playersscored no less than 42 of their eventual 49 points.

The Warriors hearkened back to the old days of foot-ball tradition for their success, staying true to the founda-tional goals of rushing the football and stopping theopponents’ rushing attack.

This shutout represents Aucilla’s third this season,and according to the coaching staff, was achieved long be-fore the last second ticked off of the clock Friday night.

“From the very first meeting this week, we had onceagain set the goal for our defense that we force a shutoutagainst Seacoast Christian.” said head coach ColbyRoberts. “We made the players understand that success isgained Monday through Thursday, and that after a greatweek of practice, the game itself is a reward.”

The defense responded to the coaches’ challenge byforcing four turnovers, sacking the Seacoast quarterbacksnine times, and recording its second safety in what ranks asone of its best performances so far this season.

Despite being the smaller squad of players, the War-riors displayed impressive speed and a physicality thatquickly subdued any offensive progress by the Eagles ofSeacoast Christian. An aggressive defensive scheme ofrush blitzes and stout play by the Aucilla linebacker corpscorralled the misdirection running attack of Seacoast, forc-ing them into the perimeter pressure of Aucilla defensive

ends as they vainly attempted a passing attack as the scoreincreased.

The defensive success was a total team effort, with 8different players contributing to the sack total, as well asfour players each securing a turnover. Defensive team lead-ers include senior defensive end Trent Roberts, who fin-ished the game with 2 ½ sacks and a forced fumble; juniorlinebacker Bradley Holm, who returned an interception fora touchdown, as well as securing three tackles for loss anda blocked punt; senior defensive tackle Corey Burrus, whohad two sacks to go along with two tackles, and sophomoredefensive tackle Cole Schwaub, who recorded a sack, recov-ered a fumble, and scored the defensive safety late in thefirst quarter.

The Aucilla offense established a bullish rushing at-tack complimented by a play-action passing game that wasextremely effective in establishing the physical presencethat was so lacking in the previous loss to Munroe. In total,Aucilla backs were responsible for six rushing touchdownsand 243 yards of the 377 yards of total offense, led byBradley Holm’s 97 yards rushing and two touchdowns.Holm carried the ball only five times, gashing his way to19.5 yards-per-carry average. Senior Phillip Watt also con-tributed with two scores to go along with 33 rushing yards,and junior Jarrod Turner finished with 63 yards on ninecarries.

As the second half began, Aucilla’s starters gave wayto several freshman backups who gained valuable game ex-perience for the future as the offense began to wind down.Most notably, backup quarterback Timmy Burrus complet-ed two passes for 33 yards, as well as contributing another34 yards rushing and a touchdown.

As the fireworks boomed in the background and thecheers rose from the stands, the Warriors regained theirswagger in front of a homecoming crowd with their ownpride on the line, a victory that signals that the season isn’tquite over for the Warriors. This is a fact that is not lost onCoach Colby Roberts.

“It was very important to get this win after what hap-pened last week. So far, this has been a season of overcom-ing adversity, and with a 5-2 record, we are still very muchalive in our conference. Next week’s game against Maclaywill be the most important game to date.” said Roberts.

A loss against Maclay (4-2, 2-1) would seal Aucilla’s (5-2,1-1) fate for its conference hopes, while a victory would im-prove its chances at catching Munroe (3-4, 3-0) in the divi-sional standings. Maclay features a brilliant rushing attackbehind speedster back Lee Williams, who is the reigningClass 1-A champion in the triple jump, as well as the 100-me-ter dash. All efforts will conceivably be focused on stoppingthe one-man highlight reel that rushed for 127 and threescores on just eight carries in Maclay’s 31-0 victory over St.Joseph Academy Friday night.

The Warriors will travel to Tallahassee to decide theirconference fate against Maclay this Friday evening at 7:30.Tickets may be purchased at the gate.
