Too large for the room's ceiling, it slumped forlorn in the corner where Representative Alan Boyd's Assistant Travis Hart placed it after giving up on the effort of making it stand tall at the Women's Club in Cross City where Alan Boyd held a Town Hall meeting on health care on Monday morning. The Stars & Stripes was ob- scured by the TV camera crews, the reporters, the politician and his en- tourage, but the citizens of Dixie verbally took up the Colors, each one speaking in favor of liberty and freedom and against the proposed government takeover of the health care industry. In the standing-room only crowd that spilled outside, not'a single voice was heard in favor of House Bill 3200, "America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009." Not one. After several warnings about being polite and al- lowing civil discourse, Rep. Boyd told the packed room that "Of all the town hall meetings I've done in this' ,area, I've never had one with this many people." He gave a short talk outlining his belief that the current health system is too ineffi- cient, citing insurance com- panies who refuse coverage, for pre-exiting conditions and the rising costs involved in health care. "I'm con- cerned about the debt, too," he said, as someone in the, audience erupted in laugh- ter. He continued, "We don't like someone telling us- where we can get our health care--we like that--and we're going to keep that." He held up a copy of HR 3200 as a , prop and said, "I cannot support this bill in the ver- sion it is now," and said "'We can do better." He then outlined the re-, quirements that the "Blue Dog" democrats claim that they will require out of any health legislation that they support. First, that "If you have a plan you like, you get to keep it. Second, it must stop the "spiraling" costs of health care. Third, that it must be deficit neutral, and last, that it must cover, the estimated 46 million Ameri- cans who are currently uninsured. He then allowed questions from the audi- ence. g_ ) - -o �'-" -' saw was when you were standing back of C after signing Cap & Trade and you looked li ..;_ ..- had been sucking a lemon. And you're good-looking man." Boyd replied, could - say that last part louder?" .CH 3--DIGIT 32c O'OO0;'i L. .RAPV Y F FL H L IBRARi' OF FL H 20 SMnA UNiV OF FL GAI-IE_' iLLE F!. 32'.1 1- 001 S ii ,,,l ,lll,,,, ,m i ili,, i l, J llli , ,ll ,, .. . i l , ,! ,- .. l Citizens from Suwannee, Cross City, Horseshoe, Old Town, Keaton Beach, Trenton...even Pumpkin Swamp...packed the Women's Club Building to express their views on health care reform. Margery Schneider, of Cross City referred to those uninsured, asking "Why are we not enforcing the law with these illegal aliens? Our Sheriff should be able to check their ID's just like he checks ours. Are you go- ing to assure me that they're not going to get tax- payer-funded health care?" Rep. Boyd told her that ille- gals will not be covered un- der any health care bill. Environmental activist Joyce Tarnow followed up, saying that "even though that line you read (in HR 3200 saying that illegals wouldn't be covered) is in there, it's in some of the bills. Congress has not en- forced E-verify and has stripped the powers from the stimulus bill to protect against illegals, and Num- bers USA gives you a failing grade on immigration. If our congressman won't stand up for us, then we're lost." Boyd replied to her concern with "I've read to, you from the bill where it says illegals won't be covered." A voice' in the crowd said that "12 million of the 46 million uninsured are illegals." Rep. Boyd said, "No, they're not." However, according to the 2006 Census that 46 mil- lion uninsured does include around 20-30%, or 10 million non-native or non-natural- ized people currently living in the US, i.e. illegal immi- grants. Keith Roberts of Horseshoe said "I promised my family that I was coming to your first Town Hall meeting and that my job was to get thrown out." Mr. Roberts didn't get bounced, but he did express his distaste for the "cofldescending" and dismissive form letters that he receives from Boyd's of- fice after voicing his opin- ion. He also asked, "What has the government done that you think that is so good that we're going to pat- tern,it (health care) - after? Amtrak? So- cial Security? Medicare? Rep. Boyd replied, looking Mr.' Roberts up and down, * and asked his own question, "How old are you?" Mr. Roberts replied, "Sixty-six." Boyd said, "So you're on Social Security and Medicare?" Mr. Roberts said yes and Boyd moved on to the next question with- out answering him. Jennifer Boyles of Suwannee, a nurse at the VA, said, "The VA g I ever system wastes a lot of Dbama money I know. I've ke you been there a long a time." She also said you that she wanted peo- ple to understand that in govern- ment health care, that "The govern- ment is allowed to use foreign doc- tors who don't have an American license. They work at the VA." Rep. Boyd expressed his dis- belief of this and Ms. Boyles said incredulously, "You didn't-know that?" Leslie Fafard told the story of re-financing her home to pay for a surgery and ex- plained that her surgeon's bill was 1/3 of what it would have been if she had had in- surance. "I want to have my relationship with my doctor, not the government," she said, "I want anyone in gov-o ernment to have to partici- pate in whatever plan is adopted." The crowd erupt- ed in applause at this. Rep. Boyd explained that the federal government, "like any other large employer, like the military, Homeland Security.. the Department of Agriculture...there are a number of private sector, plans that the employees can choose from." "WE WANT THE SAME PLAN AS YOU!" burst from a member of the crowd. "Come up here," Rep. Boyd told the speaker The man introduced himself as Den- nis, from Cross City, and re- peated, "We should have the same insurance that you have." Rep. Boyd asked him, "Who do you work for?" Dennis replied, "I'm unemployed; I lost my job." He then explained that he was covered under his wife's policy He repeated to Rep Boyd," I didn't get an answer." Boyd said. "If you're in a plan you get to keep it." Henry Richstine'of Old Town started-to get heated when he asserted, "There is some assumption that we're bound to pass some sort of health care reform. NO. WE'RE. NOT!" He added that "Abortion is not health care!" Pastor Ed Ivey also chimed in, chiding Rep Boyd, "Your voting record of 96% walk- ing in lockstep with the de- mocrats does not represent the Second District." He then asked if tort reform for trial lawyers would be in- cluded. Boyd replied that "Tort reform should be on the table." Joe Anderson, of Anderson- Columbia asked "Where are our great-grandchildren gonna get the money to bail us out of debt? If we let Pelosi and people like that direct us, we're doomed. I thought that the Blue Dogs was guarding the henhouse, but that ain't been the case this year. You can't do that with that bunch of scoundrels." Boyd didn't re- ply directly to this but dodged off into a discussion of oil dependency See BOYD, page 5 Illegal drug bust As part of the continuing investigation of the illegal sale and distribution of pharmaceuticals, the Dixie County Sheriff's Office ar- rested an additional four in- dividuals for their activity involving illegal ;,; drug sales. On Mon- day, Au- gust 17, 2009; the following were ar- rested: Joshua Briah Reeves, 23yoa, Cross City - Two counts, Sale of a Controlled Substance Troy E. Rollison, 47yoa, Cross City - One count, Sale of a Controlled Substance Town Hall: Dixie County tells Boyd "No" to Obamacare And another one... As part of an ongoing nar- cotics investigation that was begun in June of this year, Colby R. Driggers of Cross City was arrested on.a war- rant in connection with the investigation. Driggers who was employed as a Correc- tional Officer with the Dixie County Sheriff's Office in August 2008 was arrested by Dixie County Investigators at approximately 2:30PM on August 13, 2009 and booked into the Dixie County Jail. Driggers was charged with three counts of Selling a Controlled Substance, in this case, Oxycodone. Bond was established at 150,000. Driggers will remain in the, Dixie County Jail pending first appearance or bond. Due to his recent employ- ment with the Sheriff's Of- fice, if Drig- gers is unable to bond after first ap- pear- ance, he will be trans- potted to an- other jail facility pending court appearances. At this time there is no indi- cation that the narcotics of- fenses charged involved any activity associated with his employment at the Sheriff's Office. All three of the al- leged offenses occurred when Driggers was off-duty. and away from the Sheriff's facilities and jail. And yet another... An additional arrest was made on the morning of Au- gust 18, 2009 as part of .a continuing investigation into the illegal sale of phar-, maceuticals. Walter C. Willoughby, 24 years old, of Old Town was arrested this morning. Sheriff's officials have been working diligent- ly in an effort combat the il- legal sale of pharmaceuti- cals which have affected so many individuals recently This problem has not only affected Dixie County but has affected communities throughout the nation. Due to the legal;< igin of these medicatidf6t is very difficult to combat the ille- gal sale and possession. However'several months worth of in- vestiga- tion is now re- sulting. in the arrests of sev- eral in- dividuals involved in these ,activities. - Walter C. Willoughby was arrested and charged with two counts of Sale of a Con- trolled Substance and booked into the Dixie Coun- ty Jail where he is being held pending first appear- ance before the court. More arrests are expected later this week. Man sentenCed in $5.7 Million identity theft against Anderson-Columbia Ali Hammoud (36) was sen- tenced in Tallahassee to 109 months' imprisonment for engaging in a scheme to de- fraud the State of Florida of approximately $5.7 million in state funds. In August 2008, Hammoud was charged with four counts of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft in an indict- ment alleging that he fraud- ulently caused state funds intended as payment to state vendor, Anderson Co- lumbia Construction Co., to .be diverted to and deposited in bank accounts controlled by Hammoud. The indictment alleges that between June and July 2008, Hammoud caused a fraudu- lent payment authorization form to be submitted to the Florida Divisioni of Finan- cial Services changing the direct deposit account infor- mation from Anderson Co- lumbia's actual account at Wachovia Bank, to Regions Bank accounts controlled by Hammoud. The fraudu- lent payment authorization was submitted along with a fictitious letter, drafted on what appeared to be Re- gions Bank stationery, au- thorizing the change. 'See HAMOUD, pg 3 James M. Gardner, 22yoa, Old Town - Two counts, Sale of a Controlled Substance David R. Appling, 21yoa, Old Town - One count, Sale of a Con- trolled Substance . As of Monday afternoon all fourof the arrest- viduals were cur- rently be- ing held in the Dix- ie County Jail pending first appearance before the court. The Sheriff's.Office is continuing their investi- gation into the sale of phar- maceuticals and is expect- ing additional arrests as the investigation continues. i- - CL #0. ____ Thursday, August 20, 2009 www. dcadvocate.net Viewpoints Hillary upstaged...by Bill! Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was more than mildly upset recently when an apparent error in transla- tion provoked a misunderstanding about who was our na- tion's ranking diplomat. Ms. Clinton was traveling abroad and on a stop in the De- mocratic Republic of the Congo, she was asked by a student what "Mr. Clinton" thought about a deal between the Congo and Communist China. At least that's how the translator delivered the question, and that was all it took to set Hillary off on a tirade about how she, and not here husband i' as secretary of state.. "You want me to tell you ivhat my husband thinks?" she de- .manded. "My husband is not secretary of state, I am! If you want my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I will not be channeling my husband!" Actually, there was some'confusion as to whether the stu- dent thought Bill was still president and that Hillary was his mouthpiece on the foreign circuit, which of course did- n't make Ms. Clinton feel any better. Well, how many of us know who's President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo? (It's Joseph Kabila, who took office after his father was assassinated in 2001. He was actually elected five years 'later. I didn't know that, either, I just looked it up.) This situation goes deeper than one isolated incident aris- ing from an apparent translation error, and I'm not talking about another of Bill's occasional "bimbo eruptions" that got his name in the tabloids when he was president. Hillary was undoubtedly at her peak of personal sensitivity follow- ing some favorable press on the diplomatic front that Bill had just received. Acting in what might be termed a "freelance" role, Mr. Clin- ton upstaged the Ms. by going to North Korea and securing the release of two American journalists who had been kid- napped by Kim Jong-il's thugs on the pretense that they had crossed into the country illegally. We weren't told what kind of a deal Bill was authorized to make with the urohy- menopteron--hopefully he didn't have to OK a nuclear strike on Honolulu--but it got our former president a lot of good press at a time when American foreign policy hasn't been all that successful. All I know about Hillary Clinton is what I'rve ,Tar-a-id read for the past 17 years, but from what I've gathered, I would imagine that Bill's diplomatic success -~iidealing with an irrational Communist dictator while ,securing the freedom of two attractive young women wasn't'exactly something she congratulated him for when he got home from his Far Eastern junket. I won't go so far as to specu- late that she might have lapsed into her lamp-throwing mode, but I'll bet the greeting Bill received wasn't anything like, "You've had a rough couple of days, Darling, sit down and relax and let me bring you a tall, cool one." Now that I think about it, it seems like Henry Kissinger had a certain amount of success as a freelance diplomat during the Carter administration, after serving as Secretary of State under Nixon and Ford. Who knows, Bill Clinton might actually be onto a new career. It seems a shame that his vice-president, Al Gore, has made such a hit as the Godfa- ther of Green, gaining celebrity status while receiving me- dia awards and scaring the hell out of half the world with the global warming issue, and here's Bill in danger of be- coming a forgotten man if he doesn't do something creative. It seems I've heard Bill Clinton's name mentioned as a pos- sible Secretary General of the United Nations. It would be novel for an American to get that job; after all, we're just supposed to host the facility, support it financially (about 20 to 25%) and endure insults, not be assigned the top job. Shux, with Bill in charge, he'd be the world's top diplomat, and Hillary would have to be nice to him. You don't really think that could happen, now, do you?

Every Week without Fail, Since July'1, 1921 �2009 Dixie County Advocate Anyway, the new one's name -is Annabelle Lee. She's not as smart as Sugar was, but she's sweet. She has one major character flaw, though....she thinks she's a hunting dog. From the minute I let her out in the morning to the minute I manage to drag her wet, sand- spur-and-tick covered body back into the house, she's on the trail. She runs around the - woods surrounding my house constantly, looking for a deer trail. When she finds one, she barks. And barks. And barks. And barks. She runs through the woods as fast as her short little bassett legs will drag her huge bassett body, nose to the ground, sounding more like a fire truck on its way to a fire than a canine. I was watching her this morning while watching Meet the Press and started wondering if maybe Americans have fi- nally managed to throw off 200 years of breeding. We were a tough and independent people once. I mean, heck, our motto was "Don't tread on me!" We were supposed to be the John Waynes of the world; free, ornery, determined and maybe a little bit wild when necessary. If you watch the news much at all, though, it seems more like we've ditched our John Wayne image for Gov. Cuthbert H. Humphrey (if you don't get this, you need to go watch McClintock again...he's the slimy, citified,-too-civilized girly-man that keeps hitting on Maureen O'Hara.). We seem to have traded "Don't tread on me" for "What's in it for me?" Now it seems to me that many Americans are just hanging around like hound dogs, waiting to see who throws the biggest hushpuppy off the porch first to see whose hand we're going to lick. A large group of young people is de- manding free college tuition, the right to remain on their parents' health insurance to age 26, and stu- If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!" It gets more than a little old, trying to hunt her down and drag her off of whatever it is that she's tracking. Apparent- ly, the deer in the area think it's some sort of game to set her off, or somehow they know there's no way on Earth that she could ever catch them, and they've started showing up in the front yard. This one doe just stood there the other day until she was sure that Annabelle had spotted her, then sort of wiggled her tail in a "come play" sort of way and bounced off into the woods. Annnabelle looked up at me for just a second with that "Oh, it's ON now" look and charged off after the doe. When she finally dragged back in she jumped up on the couch, rolled over on her back with her feet up in the air and gave this big, exhausted, but contented doggy sigh and slept for the rest of the afternoon, twitching, and chasing phantoms of Bambi's daddy in her sleep. I don't understand why she works so hard going after some- thing.that she knows she can't catch. Goodness knows, her chli .~.-iiftfle self~h1i never missed aineal. She's hot hun- gry She's just....driven, somehow, to work. To pursue her quarry, and to run it down, come what may. It's in her blood, I guess. Centuries of hounds were bred to hunt; to chase down animals for their masters. I suppose that's not some- thing that you can just throw off for a bottomless bowl of Puppy Chow. .r_ 0 U) CO "0 (g 8 't'OU"VE CSACRED THE <�rNNAOR-G OFFICE.- THE SENATOR Is HOME ON RECESS. MANY H1ELP You? lctFoaI-5on> Toward a True Post-Racial America By David Bozeman Syndicated columnist Leonard Pitts inadvertently illustrated what is wrong with race relations in Amer- ica today. Detailing -- sur- prise -- the lingering racism of Republicans and readers hostile to his defense of Pro- fessor Henry Gates, he cited Republican accusations ("on the flimsiest of grounds") that Sonia Sotomayor her- self had made racist com- ments. He mentioned the "racially tinged" rhetoric of the McCain/Palin campaign in its final days. Just by reflex, one could re- sppnd that Sotomayor did, indeed, compare a wise Lati- na to a.white male. Barack Obama did, in fact, align himself with a domestic ter- rorist and a bile-spewing preacher. Mere mention of that is, .presumably, the racist tinge to McCain/Palin '08. Pitts did not elaborate. If McCain deserves blame, however, it should be for not highlighting Obama's ties even more. Such is the hamster-wheel of American discourse. Lots of verbal energy is spent get- ting nowhere. The issue of race has been hijacked by the political class, discussed, ad nauseam, almost always through the prism of one's I'M C1~4ANGWG MY SCHEDULE FANo comiNG r-1f4C TO WASHINGTON IMMEV"ATELY' U H lr s-cND FOR~ WEERS! political objectives. Racism is seldom considered ratio- nally and dispassionately but is instead used 4s a bat- tering ram to destroy the op- position -- and almost exclu- * sively by the left against conservatives. The recent White House Beer Summit, of course, was mere political theater meant to diffuse a political time. bomb. President Obama has - yet to emerge as a truly post- racial president. Instead of endless bromides about change and transformations and policies that emphasize government activism over self-sufficiency he could ex- tol the greatness of Ameri- ca's fundamental institu- tions. He could celebrate an America that elected him , with an impressive 53% of the popular vote to be its-'- . - leader. His occasional plugs - for individual responsibility and fatherhood are lost in the din of platitudes and . bumper sticker sloganeer- ing. The sad reality of tying race to politics is that Obama, the most revered black man in America, leads a party that, through its alignment with the National Education As- sociation, has repeatedly blocked enormously popular voucher and school choice legislation, most recently in Washington, DC. Most inner cities, in fact, under Democ- rat control, have seen notori- ously high rates of poverty, dent loan forgiveness. They're old enough to drink and call themselves "adults," but they don't want to "man up" and pay for their own insurance, I guess. It's easier to live off of mom and dad or Uncle Sam. Work is too hard. Those young freeloader- wannabes aren't fit to lick the boots of the teenagers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's not all young people who are slackers, we have some fine ones, but the layabouts are seeming to outnumber the good ones these days. And it's not just young people. Big parts of the whole country seem like SamuelAdams that...adults in name only, sitting around demanding that someone else make their life easier, smoother, and trouble-free. They want "free" health insurance. They want "free" day care. They want "free" education. They want "free" lunch.. They want guar- anteed--preferably government-- jobs for life. They want sub- sidized housing. They want the government to put gas in their car and food in their fridge. They demand that the government take stuff away from "the rich" and,give it to them, saying that it's only fair. And now they've elected a government who will listen to them and do their bidding in order to maintain power. Is it any wonder that-the town halls are full of working-class people enraged at being forced at federal gunpoint to fund another government give- away program out of their ever-shrinking paychecks? Heck, yeah, they're mad. They're working two or three jobs trying to keep private health insurance on their own kids, and now they're being told by patronizing politicians they're going to have to work another one to pay for "free" insurance on the non-working family next door, too. Large sections of our population have apparently lost the in- stinct to hunt. Even my bassett hound knows that dinner tastes better if. you've worked for it yourself. She knows in her bones that she wasn't bred to lay on the couch and have her belly rubbed: she was bred to be a working dog, to be productive, to contribute, and to earn her own keep. That's a lesson many two-legged animals need to re-learn. crime and high school dropouts. Still, assigning blame for , racial setbacks and disparity misses a larger point: black Americans deserve to be treated by their leaders as adults with free minds and independent spirits, not as. grateful, ever-reliable sub- jects of an entrenched vot- ing bloc. Every American; when focused and inspired, is capable of far more than le or she realizes - that's . the spirit that public policy should tap into..-Perhaps con- servative-backed enterprise zones and school vouchers are not the best solutions, . but the focus of public dia- logue should be on finding what is. Fixing the bldck nu- clear family is of far-greater importance but provokes far less urgency than whether Ssqme public -official uttered the word 'niggardly' or the ravings of Don Imus or some lame, substance-free Beer Summit. . Ideally more Americans would draw inspiration from the life of Herman Cain than from the flowery ora- tion of President Obama. The former CEO and chair- man of the board of godfa- ther's Pizza is conservative, having run for the GOP nomination for the Senate from Georgia, but his contri- butions to American life ex- tend far beyond partisan pol- itics. Born in Memphis in 1945, he climbed the corpo- rate ladder at Pillsbury's and ...N VIOND iILANTE MOBS! YOU SAW TH4 A'YouTUBE VIDEO S MILLION HITS AND - COUNTINGN. Gcr rater took the reins of God- father's. He was the first .black president of the Na- tional Restaurant Associa- tion and went onto win awards for his business and humanitarian efforts. Now host of a talk radio show in Atlanta, he cites his overrid- ing principles for success as "focus, focus, focus" and "ex- ceed the expectations of the job." By comparison, Presi- dent Obama's life story is not uninspiring, but his ad- ministration's rhetoric breeds a dependency far re- moved from Herman Cain's living testament to individ- ual initiative and capitalism. The title of a recent Town- hall.com column reveals the banal state of political dis- course: "Criticizing Presi- dent Obama is Not Racist." Even if Obama, the most lauded of modern presidents was criticized because of racism, his policies would still merit public scrutiny. His presidency, after all, is not solely about him.. If his- tory recalls that Obama ,led, not by transforming Ameri- ca, but by seeking to extend the traditions of liberty to all citizens, then he can tru- ly be remembered as a post- racial president.

I've always loved bassetts. My daughter Casey had one that I got from the Jacksonville pound named Sugar who was probably one of the best dogs I've ever had. She was so sweet, and so smart. I think she knew, somehow, that I saved her hide that day I brought her home. She had al- ready been adopted out, but her new owners brought her back, saying she was "too hyper." She was on her last day when I loaded her up to come to Dixie. She was never.hyper for me, and she was one of those dogs that-you could say, "Sugar, go watch the kids on the swing set," and she'd trot over there and sit with them while they played, keeping an eye out for snakes or wayward cats who might be getting too cocky and who might need a good doggy talkin'-to.

I can hardly wait. The weath- er hopefully will soon be getting to that perfectly wonderful stage of cool evenings, which will make an awesome evening fire. I know this is still August and it's hard to imagine a bon fire in this heat. Maybe the heat is getting to me. Dusty my blue-eyed wonder horse is snorting and shak- ing his head. He must think I'm delusional today as I talk to him about future camping trips. If you haven't joined us on our camping trips, you're in for a treat. Picture this; a won- derful day of blue sky's, beautiful wooded trails, your best four-legged buddy and a great group of two- * legged buddies too! Throw in some exploring of new places to check out and this, my friend, is an awesome recipe for trail riding at it's best. Of course after the rides of the day and the horses are put to rest, our palate is sat- isfied by great campfire cooking, and then the evening's entertainment be- "Promoting Safety Through Education" From HAMOUD, pg 1 Hammoud was charged with aggravated identity theft., Between July 21 and 22, 2008, approximately $5.7 million in state monies intended as payments to Anderson Co- lumbia were electronically deposited into Regions Bank accounts controlled by Ham- moud. Within 48 hours of these deposits, Hammoud withdrew and attempted to withdraw, via wire trans- fers, checks, and other means, approximately $3.9 million from the Regions Bank accounts. Hammoud was arrested on July 24, 2008, while attempt- ing to board a flight to Beirut, Lebanon. On March 18, 2009, Hammoud pled guilty to each of the five counts of the indictment. At a sentencing hearing today Hammoud was sentenced to 85 months' imprisonment for wire fraud, to be followed by a consecutive sentence of 24 months' imprisonment for aggravated identity theft. gins. Of course it doesn't hurt to have a nice cup of Fay Beasley's magnificent coffee to sip on during the entertainment. By entertainment, I mean the Levy County Horse Club has a talented group of singers and guitar players. Randy Beasley, Fred Fox and Phil Parent are awe- some entertainers. They have on a number of camp- ing trips treated us to a wonderful evening of great hits. Each one is unique in his style. Some of us prefer to go down on a Friday and stay till Sunday It's a wonderful weekend, one that I always wish time could be suspended to last a, little longer. I never want to leave. I know you'd feel the same once you have joined us for a memorable weekend of trail riding. Keep watching for our up- coming details on our Breast Cancer Awareness Trail Ride the weekend of October 24th. This will start our camping season, howev- er our trail rides will re- sume in September. In the immortal words of Roy, Rogers "happy trails to you, until we meet again........"

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Com- mission (FWC) cites lost and abandoned traps as a problem in the blue crab fishery, because they can continue to trap crabs and fish when they are not maintained. Also, they can be unsightly in the marine environment, damage sen- sitive habitats and pose navigational hazards to boaters. Lost and abandoned traps cannot easily be distin- guished from legal traps, so they often remain in the water indefinitely Six regional, 10-day blue crab trap closures take place in Florida at different times during the year. More information regard- ing .the FWC's trap-re- trieval program; blue crab trap closure dates, regula- tions and how you can par- ticipate in cleanup events is available online at MyFWC.com/RULESAN- 'DREGS/SaltwaterTraps_in dex.htm.

This congress we've got reminds me of a jackass running in the Kentucky Derby." Rep. Boyd replied that "I'm convinced that we've got to fix health care be- fore we can fix the economy." A man named John from Old Town asked a fundamen- tal question that had been ignored up to this point: "Where does the Constitution give you the authority to do this? All of this, the bailouts, AIG, the czars, all of it. Who do the czars answer to?" Boyd replied that there was never a vote on AIG and that the there were three branches of government and listed them. He then kicked that ball into another court, saying that, "I'm not a Constitutional scholar. If something is un- consititutional, then the courts is where to resolve that." ....

Boyd asserted that "I've constantly voted to open Dixie County Health Department works with School District to Implement Seasonal and HI N1 (Swine Flu) Guidelines As the school year begins the Dixie County Health Depart- ment is working diligently with the school system to make sure students and par- ents have the information they need regarding Season- al Flu and H1N1(Swine Flu). The health department has been working hard to pro- vide administration, teach- ers and students with the in- formation that they need re- garding the flu and how it may affect our community and our schools. In the coming weeks it will be important that parents understand that the school system and the health de- partment will be depending on them to ensure the health of their children as well as others. "We know that this virus is in our state and our community, and right now our best defense against a flu outbreak is prevention" said Sable Boilling, Administrator of the Dixie County Health Department. As children re- turn to the group setting it will be very important that people practice good hygiene and stay home if they are sick. This will include keep- ing your children home from school if they have flu symp- toms. Since last May the Health De- partment has been in talks with the school system about H1Nl(Swine Flu) and how to approach the new school year. The latest information has been provided to school officials for posting to their websites, and for print. The health department is also I Senior & Veteran Discounts fA Alaska to drilling."

Mr. Petty said, "I don't like them much, either." Joe Sparacino commented on Boyd's vote in favor of the stimulus bill "after com- ing down here and telling us you were against it. Now we're hearing I'm against it, but I'm scared to death you're go- ing back to vote for it. I want my country back! Are you going to vote for this or not?" Boyd replied, "No. If this bill comes to the House floor, no." Helen Poore followed up, pleading, "Can we have your assurance that you will not vote for this bill or anything like it?" Rep.

People with flu-like symp- toms, including fever, sore throat or cough should con- tact their health care provider. Although the symp- toms are similar for seasonal flu and H1Nl(Swine flu) some people have also report- ed nausea, vomiting and di- arrhea. The health depart- ment will also be asking teachers and administrators to be on the lookout for sick children so that they .can be separated or distanced from others. People with flu like symptoms should remain at home isolated from others for a period of 24 hours be- yond the last sign of fever. Fever should be absent with- out the use. of a fever reduc- ing agent. In the weeks to come the health department will con- tinue to monitor flu activity in the county. At this point in time because it is not the typ- ical flu season if a person has flu-like symptoms it can be assumed that it is the H1N1 strain of flu. Recom-. mendations for treatment of H1N1(Swine Flu) are the same as seasonal flu. Some individuals may benefit from antiviral treatment but a pre- scription must be obtained to receive this medication. Most individuals should recover from this illness in the same manner as the seasonal flu. Parents or individuals with questions regarding H1Nl(Swine Flu) may call the health department for in- formation at 352-498-1360.

Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or your local health department office for Information. The National Pediculoasis Association has a lot of useful Information about head lice. Their website Is ww/.headllce.org. Just the Facts Most children who get head lice, do not get them in school. Lice prefer to stay in the hair, not the environment. Lice do not cause disease. Uce cannot stay alive in schools and on school buses on the weekends, because they cannot live without human contact for more than 48 hours. ' Researchers have been unable to hatch lice eggs off the head, even in ideal laboratory conditions. Kids might gel head lice at sleepovers, while at group or dub activities, family gatherings, babysitting, playing sports, watching TV or playing video games together. Head lice can spread if two heads are together. Lice cannot jump. They have no hind legal Lice do not have wings and cannot fly. According to national research, the reason lice seem more prevalent after school breaks is because lice are a community problem, and children have more close contact with each other during breaks. The color of the louse depends on when it had its iast blood meal. Pets do not get head lice. Head lice can happen to anyone.

DHSMV is encouraging Floridians to visit Gather- GoGet.com to find out how and when to gather your documents, go to a driver li- cense office and get your new card. The Gather- GoGet.com campaign web- site will enable residents to: * , Determine when they will need to visit a dri- ver license or tax collector office. * Create a personal- ized checklist detailing doc- uments they will need. S Obtain contact in- formation showing where to get required documents. vr Browse a list of dri- ver license offices in their local area.

The band was one of the feature acts at the inaugural Hud- son Americana Music Festi- val this past Fourth of July in Pasco County. Several of Dotti's songs reflect on the beauty of Florida and re- ceive airplay on WMNF's tional, high-energy tunes sure to get your toes a-tap- pin'. But they also shine on the slow ballads that could bring a tear to your eye. Un- der the direction of vocalist- guitarist Randy Slaughter, this talented group has done benefits, shows, and festi- vals throughout the area for several years and is very well received wherever they play. Fortunately, for Blue- grass lovers, they perform is this area quite frequently. Making her return per-- formance for a Dixie Cham- ber event on stage will be Jordan Bush. Her first was at the latest Red Belly Day. Hailing from the Callahan area, near Jacksonville, Jor- dan has considerable rela- tions in the Dixie area. Her melodious voice, coupled with a dynamic delivery, has impressed audiences at ma- jor festivals throughout all of north Florida - from the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mex- ico. I Where every one of these talented groups has per- formed at least once each for the Dixie County Cham- ber of Commerce at the Chamber's previous Red Belly Day Festivals, they are to be whole-heartedly ap- plauded and thanked for generously donating their time, trouble, and talents by performing for this event with absolutely no charge to the Chamber! Bravo! With this being a free event, STEEL BRID 4 radio program The Florida Folk Show. True to their name, the Slackers are cur- rently without a website. If the 2 - Lane Highway Band looks familiar, it is be- cause they were formerly the Underdawgs Band. Most members are the same, ex- cepting the substitution of Roger Bayles on bass. This group has been working the area clubs in north central Florida for several years and enjoys the reputation of being a good-time, party band. They play a very nice mix of contemporary and classic popular songs from a variety of musical stylings. Check out their site at http://2-lanehighwaycom. One of the area's favorite Southern Gospel groups, Southland, will be making an appearance at this festi- val. This multiple award- winning quartet puts on an inspiringly energetic per- formance at every one of their shows. It is easy to hear why they have won so many awards! Since the group last performed for the Dixie County Chamber, bass singer Bert Buzbee's retire- ment brought in Andy Haynes, a veteran of the Gospel Radio industry. Big Cypress Bluegrass will be performing tradi- meaning no gate receipts, the Chamber had. no budget with which to purchase tal- ent for this event. So thank you, artists all! Watch this fine paper for further information on each of these groups, and the lat- est developments on this growing, family-oriented festival, which now coin- cides with the Dixie County Rotary's annual gun show - again held in the Trailrid- ers Club building. Many other events are scheduled. The festival is a Saturday- only event, while the gun show will be held Saturday and Sunday Suwannee River Economic Council Breakfast is now being served! at the Senior Center at 357 SE 22nd Avenue For info call Heddie Johnson 498-2714 CUB SCOUTS Meet at the First United Methodist Church of Cross City on Monday nights at 6:30 to 7:30.

We appreciate you! Continue to pray for Bob as he is endur- ing some more health prob- lems! GOD has work for all .HIS children, regardless of age or ability! There are so many avenues to serve GOD! But are we faithful? We are in'the late summer months and we are still see- ing these little lightning bugs or fireflies as some people say. They come with their bright little lights on and shinning, but when you look up their lights are gone and you can't see them any- more. Then all of a sudden you look up and there they are again, letting their lights shine...oh so beautiful for all of us to see. Are we that kind of Christian? Do we live for the LORD to- day..letting our lights shine for GOD'S service and all the world to see? Putting down our earthly sins and doing what is right! Then poof; our light disappears and we go back to living for the devil! Are we like those tiny light- ning bugs: Are we on again, when we are in need then...off again.when our lives are good? Or maybe we become lukewarm Chris- tians, not really on fire for JESUS, but just going along half way! Still going, but just barely Maybe like that little firefly....on sometime then it's gone! We have to become a faith- ful Christian, working year after year, doing GOD'S work. Everyone has some- thing in their lives that pre- vents them from growing closer to THE LORD! What is yours? It's not "all about us", it is all about CHRIST! Have we given up our world- ly sins... 100 per cent? Or lilies" "are we trying to live in both worlds. Come on try JESUS, if you don't like HIIM...the devil will always take you back! Our Stewardship Confer- ence with Bro. Max-Alder- man will begin August 23rd-. 27th. beginning at 7:00 each evening.! The monthly Men's Meeting will be on August 30th! If you would like to work or help in the Wednesday night Awanna Program, please attend the meeting on Aug. 23 rd.! JUST A THOUGHT: We are serving GOD, as we teach our children about HIS love and grace! Thank you to Harry Gatlin for two spe- cials on Sunday! He played his guitar and sang for GOD'S glory: "Eternity Has Begun" and "Death Ain't No Big Deal." May your day be blessed and until we meet again in the papers, may GOD, cradle you in the palm of HIS lov- ing hand! Sandy Coleman On Wednesday night the young children are partici- pating in "Missions for Kids" and learning about Jesus and how to contact others., Bring your little ones out at 6:30 and let them be a part of this new program. There will be a special social, after church next Sunday night and we invite you to come to church and check this out. We plan.to do this every 4th Sunday of each month. Come to church and see what's going on Click Me!. We feel sure you'll be glad you did. Remember the community sing at New Prospect next Saturday night at 6:00 PM. Anyone can sing and all you need to do is show up. Don't forget this coming week to pray for the less for- tunate, the sick, the be- reaved, the 6nes in the hos- pitals and the ones going for surgery God hears and an- swers our prayers. Invite someone to come to Sunday School and Church with you next week and let's see who all may be saved because of our invitation. How God will bless us for that. Until next week, we love you and are praying for you. Protect youri children by standing up for parenthood! Parents have the high privilege and solemn duty to raise their children to know and love God. While all parents desire that their grown children embrace their faith freely and enthusiastically, when children are young, it falls to parents to make decisions regarding their children's religious upbringing, including: t How often does your family attend your place of worship? S What congregation have you chosen to attend? t+ Can you teach your children that your religious views are absolutely true? However, your freedom to determine the answers to these three questions will be undermined if the United States Senate ratifies the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. For example: t A Washington state court ruled that parents could not require their 13-year- old son to attend church with them on Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday night. The judge said that unless the family limited the boy's - church attendance to Sunday morning, he would remove custody. This Washington law (which has since changed) paralleled the UN children's treaty. t The Scottish government, in an official publication produced to help their youth understand their rights under the UN treaty, says; "You have the right to choose your own religion and beliefs." The role of parents? They "help, you think about this." t The American Bar Association, a strong supporter of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, acknowledges that religious schools that teach that Jesus is the only way to Cod "fly in the face" of the treaty. Thus, any who teach children that their religion is the truth arc likewise in violation. Under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, all ratified treaties are superior to state constitutions, and laws. Hence, this treaty will override virtually all current American laws on parents and children that conflict with it. if What do I believe? As an American I believe in generosity, in liberty, in the rights of man. These are social and political faiths that are part of me, as they are, I suppose, part of all of us. Such beliefs are easy to express. But part of me too is my relation to all life, my religion. And this is not so easy to talk about. Religious experience is highly intimate and, for me, ready words are not at hand. --Adlai E.

A THREAT AGAINST PARENTHOOD: The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC) The Structure: 1. The CRC is a treaty that creates binding rules of law. It is no mere statement of altruism. 2. This treaty would automatically override almost all family law in America due to Article VI of the United States Constitution. 3. Congress would have the power to directly legislate on all subjects necessary to comply with the treaty. This would constitute the most massive shift of power from the states to the federal government in American history. 4. American courts would have the power to directly enforce the self-executing provisions uf the treaty. 5. A commillce of It experts from other nations, sitting In Geneva, has the authority to issue official interpretations of the treaty which would be entitled to binding weight in American courts and legislatures. This would effectively transfer ultimate authority for all policies in this area to this foreign committee. The Substance: 1. Parents would no longer be able to administer reasonable spankings to their children. 2. Children would have the ability to choose their own religion while parents would S only have the authority to give their children -advice about religion. 3. The best interest of the child principle would give the government the ability to override every decision made by every parent if a government worker disagreed with the parent's decision. 4. Children would have the right to reproductive health information and services, including abortions, without parental knowledge or consent. 5. Religious schools that refuse to teach "alternative worldviews" and teach that theirs is the only true religion "fly in the face of article 29" of the treaty, says the American Bar Association. THE SOLUTION: THE PARENTAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT SECTION 1 The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right. SECTION 2 - Neither the United States nor any State shall infringe upon this right without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served. SECTION 3 No treaty may lie adopted nor shall any source of international law be employed to supi'rsrtis, modify, interpret, or apply to the rights guaranteed by this article. join the network at ParentalRights.org Protecting Children by Empowering Parents New Prospect Baptist Church US 19 * Between Cross City & Old Town Jesus is The Answer For Your Life' Sunday School 10A * Morning Worship 11A Children's Church 11A- Evening Worship 7P Wednesday Evening 7P Pastor - Billy Robson (352) 498-3711 Calvary Temple Assembly of God Suwannee Lumber Road * Cross City 'Join Us ForAVist StayForA Ufeme."

Residents are reporting fish kills in various areas, and fisheries biologists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Con- servation Commission (FWC) think the number and sever- ity of fish kills could increase over the next several weeks. "We've already had reports of fish kills in the Inverness and Floral City areas as well as various locations on the Withlacoochee River. These kills are a result of low dis- solved oxygen (DO) levels," said Allen Martin, regional fisheries biologist for the FWC's Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management in Lake City "And it could get worse in the coming weeks if we get tropical storm or hur- ricane activity" What do heavy rains and cloudy skies have to do with fish suffocating from a lack of oxygen? An "Only in Dixie" Sighting . .. . .... You have to look close, but take your time and see if you can figure out what's different about the truck passengers in this picture. - Ben West's daughter Dana was on her way to with her new husband Suwannee Saturday night and caught a glimpse of this in Old Town. Goodness only knows what the poor man thinks about Dixie now.:) Let's Go OUTSIDE and Discover Shired Island It was soon to be 94 degrees outside, but that didn't stop the kids of Dixie County from discovering the story of Shired Island's begin- nings. Parents and grand- parents joined in the fun, too. These kids didn't stop learning just because school's out. They joined Ranger Pam and Volunteer Miranda Haire for a lesson about the first Indians of the area, and how and why. they built the midden of shells. On the trail, the group observed some of . the wildlife and ma- rine life that made the coast so attrac* tive to those first people who made tools. jewelry, and ineals from shells. learning that everything they found must be re- turned to the exact spot from which it was taken. "I think next time, we'll bring cameras for the kids to take photos of their finds, as well as ospreys ' and herons in flight", said Ranger Pam Darty The Lower Suwannee NWR has ten digital cameras and a | portable printer in order to connect kids to nature through the lens of a cam- era. Kids gathered around the Ranger to learn the ancient coil-method of creating pot-:, Ironically, a lack of sunshine in the Sunshine State her- alds the beginning of problems. The process starts with overcast skies, hot summer days and rainy weather. Photosynthesis creates most of the oxygen that fish breathe. The process allows waterborne microscopic plants to use sunlight to produce and add dissolved oxygen to the water. However, when overcast skies persist for sev- eral days, there is often not enough sunlight to power the oxygen-making process that supports fish life. Heavy rain and wind from thunderstorms add to the prob- lem by stirring up bottom sediments that mix with good- quality water near the surface, compounding the problem. Rainwater runoff can also wash large amounts of decay- ing plant and animal material into the water body. In the decay process, bacteria use dissolved oxygen in the water to break down plant and animal matter, further lowering oxygen levels. "We are seeing this occur in the Green Swamp area," Mar- tin said. "The rains are releasing a pulse of poor-quality (low DO) water into the Withlacoochee River that is then flowing into the Tsala Apopka chain of lakes." Fish can often be seen coming to the surface of the water and gulping air. Ultimately, the fish die and float to the sur- face. "The size of the fish kills depends on how .low the oxygen levels are. They can range from only a few individuals be- ing affected to massive kills, where thousands of fish die." Many different species of HELP WANTED fish have succumbed to cur- rent fish kills, including DIRECTOR largemouth bass, bluegill, DEVELOPMENTAL black crappie and catfish.
