Hamilton County has

shows how rural areas
can attract curious big
city tourists.
Other states have de-

Coalition
hashes out
strategy at
town meeting
By Stephenie Livingston
stephenie.livingston@gaflnews.com
The Hamilton County
Alcohol and Other Drug
Prevention Coalition
hosted a town meeting
Tuesday night at the
Hamilton County Annex
Auditorium to discuss
drug and alcohol con-
cerns in Hamilton Coun-
ty.
Fewer than 30 people
were in attendance,
whereas nearly 200 at-
tended the last meeting
hosted by the Coalition.
Coalition representa-
tives said this was most-
ly due to not being al-
lowed by the school dis-
trict to hand out flyers
for the meeting to youth,
their target group, on
school grounds, as they
have in years past.
Despite the meager
crowd, officials took the
opportunity to inform
those present of the
community's current
drug and alcohol situa-
tion, and what each per-
son can do to get in-
volved in the fight
against drug and alcohol
abuse.
"Hamilton County is
very proactive in deal-
ing with the issue of
drugs and alcohol," said

Judge Scaff honored as advocate for children


By Stephenie Livingston
Judge Sonny Scaff
was recently honored
by the Florida Depart-
ment of Children and
Family Services for
the work he has done
as the acting Circuit
Judge in Madison and
Hamilton Counties.
"Our Child Protec-
tion staff members
recognize that he is a
true advocate for the
children he serves. Re-
gardless of the cir-
cumstances of the
case, it is clear that the
children's best interest
is always the priority
in Judge Scaff's court-
room and its this be-
lief in his guide in
making tough deci-
sions as to the welfare
of our children," said
FDCFS Circuit Ad-
ministrator Ester S.
Tibbs in a press re-
lease.


Judge Scaff's "easy
going and knowledge-
able manner puts
everyone at ease in his
courtroom while
bringing forward the
information that he
needs to make good
decisions," Tibbs con-
tinued. "He makes
sure all in his court-
room know he is al-
ways open to every-
one's suggestions as it
relates to the welfare

The problem that won't go away

cats seeking refuge be-
hind convenience
stores and fed wild
dogs, some of them
starving, in several ar-
eas of the county. At
one point, she was
even forced to take on
a second job in order
to cover the expense of
caring for Hamilton
County's stray ani-
mals.
The problem isn't a
new one. Veterinarian
Mike Huston first
opened his practice in
Jasper in 1989, a time
when Huston said
stray dogs were being
euthanized with bul-
lets by local law en-
forcement. "That sort
of thing was common-
place in a lot of differ-
ent places back then,"
said Huston. "Animal
control in Hamilton
County has drastically
improved since then."
Today, the city of
Jasper has a dog
pound and a dog war-
den, there's also a
PAWS program in Jen-
nings which offers dis-
counted spaying and
neutering. Hamilton
County does not have
an animal shelter,
however.
"We still need im-
proved animal control
and we definitely need
a community animal
shelter," said Huston.
Huston's own attempt
at creating an animal
shelter failed nearly
eight years ago due to
the lack of community
and county involve-
ment, in addition to a
lack of money, said
Huston.
"It all boils down to
funding," he said.
And during such dif-
ficult economic times
as these, Jeff McGuire
with the Hamilton
County Sheriff's Office


IU.


said that, sadly, ani-
mals are not always a
top priority.
"These animals are
God's creatures;
they're not a low prior-
ity. But it's just a fact
of life," said McGuire
as he stood in the mid-
dle of the county's dog
pound, which consists
of a few worn pens set
behind the sewer
plant. It is the only
pound in the county.
"The conditions
aren't the best, but we
take care of them the
best we can," said dog
warden Mark
Hawkins. McGuire
said there is county
land where a shelter
was once discussed be-
ing built. Those plans
never came to fruition,
however. Hawkins
said other ideas have
circulated, but little
has been done. He said
the entire community
needs to come together
to make change hap-
pen.
A lot of people just
want to talk about the
problem, not many are
willing to get dirty,
echoed Huston, who
euthanizes 100-150
dogs and cats per year
for the city.
"Most come to us
with no collar or
means of identifica-
tion," said Hawkins as
two dogs barked in a
pen beside him. "We're
stuck between a rock
and a hard place."
Something's got to
change, says Pedicini.
And shelter would
be a start, but it will
take a community ef-
fort, she said. Pedicini
has already gone be-
fore the county com-
mission and asked for
advice and assistance
with a "Recycling for
Pets" program of
which she is in the
preliminary stages of


planning.
"Recycling is an es-
sential part of life to-
day," she said. "Why
not use it to raise mon-
ey to support a shel-
ter?"
Pedicini said it
would take the entire
community -- from the
county commission to
the school district to
local businesses -- to
make an animal shelter
happen. "It's going to
take more than a few
people feeding a whole
bunch of animals," she
said. "It's about com-
ing together as a com-
munity."
"Currently, the coun-
ty has tied the hands
of the community by
not providing enough
animal services," she
continued. Pedicini
said with rabies on the
rise, it is not uncom-
mon for people to
shoot stray animals.
"That's what happens
when there's not suffi-
cient animal control."
"It's a real need,"
said Huston.
"If you see some-
thing that's wrong day
after day, you get to
the point that you just
walk by. People have
gotten used to seeing
stray animals. But I
can't do that. I can't
walk by," said Pedici-
ni.

Tobacco Division. How-
ever, Hamilton County
sheriff's deputy Jeramie
Cheshire said drugs and
alcohol are still a major
problem.
"I see it every time I
come to work," he said.
Cheshire said the key to
creating a drug free
community is creating
an atmosphere in which
drug use is unaccept-
able. And when it
comes to keeping kids
off drugs, he said the
most important factor is
family.
"The most important
person in a child's life is
the person they live
with," said Judge Sonny
Scaff.
Scaff said it is impor-


drug-free Hamilton


tant for parents to pay
close attention to who
their children are associ-
ating with. As they get
older, who they hang
out with shapes who
they become. "If they
hang out with riff raff,
they'll turn into riff
raff," said Scaff.
Deputy Marvin Page
said currently the most
commonly abused
drugs in Hamilton
County are prescription
drugs, while cocaine,
marijuana, and
methamphetamines are
also available and wide-
ly used. Page said he is
currently investigating
25 different drug-relat-
ed cases in Hamilton
County.
The fight is long from
over, he said.


Other speakers in-
cluded Mona Paine, RN,
Hamilton County
Health Department and
Pastor Jerry Thomason.
Paine discussed how
drugs and alcohol are
associated with the
transmission of STD's
and HIV, while Thoma-
son spoke on the re-
sponsibilities of reli-
gious leaders when it
comes to the issue of
drug and alcohol abuse.
Officials encouraged
individuals to get in-
volved in the coalition
by attending coalition
meeting and participat-
ing in activities held
throughout the year.

RURAL TOURISM


Continued From Page 1A

farm, ridden a horse or
even picked fresh
fruit," she said in the
press release. "Florida
hasn't really developed
this new emerging
form of tourism, but
other parts of the
country have been
very successful at it."
Suggestions include
an eco-lodge on the
banks of the Suwannee
River; a welcome cen-
ter combining a
farmer's market, bike
rental shop and restau-
rant that could feature
Southern home cook-
ing; and a 425-acre his-
toric district in the
town of Jasper.
The area draws thou-
sands to the annual
Florida Folk Festival at
the Stephen Foster
Folk Cultural Center
State Park in White
Springs. However, few
concertgoers stay
overnight because ac-
commodations are lim-
ited to cabins and
camping.
The UF design team
proposed an eco-lodge
next to the state park
along the riverbank,
with elevated trails to
protect soil and vege-
tation.
"Especially as the
baby boomers age,
while some people like
camping along the riv-
er, there is another
group who want a dif-
ferent experience and
can afford to stay in a
lodge with hot show-
ers and meals," Gu-
rucharri said.
Raising the visibility


of Jennings, another
Hamilton County
town, is the aim of one
proposal to convert an
empty historic brick
building along the 1-75
corridor at the city's
entrance into a wel-
come center where vis-
itors could sample
fresh produce and
Southern cooking and
rent bicycles, Gu-
rucharri said. The idea
is modeled after the
old orange stops along
the highway, befitting
Jennings' location near
the Florida-Georgia
border, she said.
The most extensive
revitalization plans are
suggested for Jasper,
where UF students in-
ventoried 150 historic
buildings, many of
them old Victorian
homes, and proposed
creating a pedestrian-
friendly residential
and commercial his-
toric district.
A redesigned central
park would be the
civic heart of the com-
munity, with arts and
crafts fairs and black-
berry festivals, around
which sidewalk cafes
and retail shops could
be built, Gurucharri
said. Running through
the park would be a
greenway along an old
railroad corridor that
bisects downtown,
with nearby county-
wide biking trails,
walking paths and a
driving path for pa-
rades of old cars.
With extensive ef-
forts from local citi-
zens, the city is mov-
ing ahead with some of


UF's suggestions and is
seeking a $500,000
Florida Department of
Transportation grant
for roadside trees,
sidewalks, planters
and various central
park improvements.
The Jasper communi-
ty has come up with
unique means of rais-
ing funds for the pro-
ject, such as its first
blackberry festival,
one of only 12 in the
United States, sched-
uled for June.
Cindy Eatmon, co-
owner of Bass Furni-
ture and a lifetime
Jasper resident, said
UF's efforts in Hamil-
ton County have in-
spired her.
"It's a super idea and
one that's attainable"
she said. "These are
ideas that we can feasi-
bly use to better our
community. We're a
dinosaur of our way of
life in Florida. We
want to preserve it, but
we can also market
this."
Jasper City Manager
Larry Cail said he feels
life these ideas when
put into motion will
help Hamilton County
grow. "This will bring
people in and allow
them to see what our
town has to offer," he
said.
"By attracting people
to our city, they will
come and shop, eat,
and, hopefully, spend
the night," said Eat-
mon. "A balance of
everything is impor-
tant to a community.
Tourism is part of
that."

Heart Matters


Her tears told the
story that our lan-
guage barrier prevent-
ed words from com-
municating...On a re-
cent mission trip, Al-
ton and I served at a
malnutrition center for
children in Central
America. To say the
least, the entire trip
was overwhelming,
but one particular en-
counter will not soon
leave my thoughts.
After bathing and
dressing a beautiful
set of twin boys, an- By Angie Land
other volunteer and I
turned to find a
woman waiting to see them. One of
the workers tried to explain her pres-
ence by pointing first to the boys and
then to the woman. We assumed she
was their mother (through an inter-
preter we later found out she was the
grandmother), coming to visit, so we
walked over to hand the boys to her.
She cradled their heads in her hands
and wept with her face against
theirs...her tears running down her
cheeks and theirs as she closed her
eyes and whispered words I couldn't
comprehend. My eyes filled as I
imagined her struggle: instead of
taking your children home where you
can't provide, you surrender them to
the care of strangers so their most ba-
sic needs of nutrition can be met.
These precious children were not or-
phans, but belonged to a family
where they were dearly loved...
I must have wondered "why" a
thousand times over the course of our
time on the mission field. Why are
there so many hungry children in the
world? Why so much sickness in
places where medical help is not read-
ily accessible? Why do these parents
struggle to feed their children while
we struggle not to give ours too
much? A trip out of the country can
give a much needed tune-up to our
limited perspective on life, and while
God isn't obligated to answer our
"why" questions, He did give me a
new angle from which to view them.
The Bible records a conversation Je-
sus held with his disciples that shed
some light on my dilemma:

"As he (Jesus) went along, he saw a
man blind from birth. His disciples
asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man
or his parents, that he was born blind?"
"Neither this man nor his parents
sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so


that the work of God
might be displayed in his
life." John 9:1-3


Often we, like the
disciples, assume that
when suffering is pre-
sent, there must be
someone to blame,
and since the Bible is
clear in Romans 3:23
that "all have sinned
and fall short of the
glory of God," we feel
fairly safe to conclude
that suffering must be
the result of some
wrong-doing. In Je-
sus' response, howev-
er, we find a much dif-
ferent analysis...probably because if
this line of thinking were correct, we
would all be blind! Foolishly, we
may then be tempted to blame God
for the suffering we see around us, or
even what we may experience. In-
stead, Jesus declared the reason for
this man's blindness was so that he
and others could experience God at
work in his life.
I read the verse following this pas-
sage with startling clarity... "As long
as it is day, we must do the work of
him who sent me..." Surely we ask
our "why" questions because we
know that God could so easily fix the
suffering we see around us, but ac-
cording to this verse, perhaps we are
the wrong ones to do the asking. It
seems that God has ordained for us to
work with Him for as long as we are
here...so could it be that He has more
of a right to ask us why there are so
many hungry children in the
world...why we don't reach out our
hands to serve them and allow Him
to work in their lives...through us.
Perhaps the next time a "why" ques-
tion comes to our mind, we should
consider that it may be that He is ask-
ing it of us...and wonders what we
plan to do about it. It is imperative,
not as much how or where we take
action, but that we do...because every
heart really does matter!

It's almost time to RELAY!! Relay
for Life, that is. What is Relay for
Life?? The easiest way to explain it is
- an 18-hour event filled with celebra-
tion, remembrance, and sacrifice in
honor of those surviving and still
fighting cancer and remembering
those who've lost the battle. So, what
does this have to do with you???
EVERYTHING! Without the support
of everyone, in every community, rais-
ing money and awareness would be
IMPOSSIBLE! So, I'm calling on you
to come out and support the local
teams raising money at this year's Re-
lay.
The event is scheduled for Friday,
April 16th at the Old HCHS Football
field, officially beginning at 6 PM (but
there will be lots of fun things to do be-
fore the official kick off). Our theme
this year is "Mardi Gras".
What do we do for 18 hours? We
walk and walk and WALK - all night -
because cancer never sleeps and for 18
hours - neither do we! Yes, it's
hard...Yes, it means giving up a
night's sleep...but what is one night's
discomfort when you think about the
hours, days, weeks, months, or even
years of discomfort those fighting this
disease endure. It is our goal to have


someone from every team on the track
every minute of the night.
Teams will be selling food and
drinks. There will be booths to create
scrapbook memory pages and party
favors at a small cost. There will be a
"Miss Celebration" pageant, a talent
show, Mr. Relay For Life pageant, per-
formances from local singers and from
Dance Works. Remember that the
teams are trying to raise money and
every check, dollar, and quarter helps!
Are you a survivor?? Come sign up
- walk a lap in celebration and enjoy a
dinner in your honor. Know someone
who has survived, is fighting the bat-
tle, or has lost the fight - come buy a
luminary and walk a lap in their hon-
or/memory.
If you want more information on
how to create a team, contact Regina
Hester 386-234-0030 or Leslie Carter at
lesliejcarter@windstream.net. If you
are interested in the Miss Celebration
pageant or the talent show, contact
Shannon McCook at 386-590-0535 or
email: penguins75@gmail.com.
PLEASE come out and help us sup-
port those whose lives have been
touched by this HORRIBLE disease!
Together, we can show cancer that it
may win lots of battles, but it will not
win the WAR!

GUILT


David H.
Matier,
Doctor of
SPastoral
Counsel-
ing
Have
you ever
noticed
that very few want to acknowledge
their guilt in a matter? On the show
Cops, when they pull someone over
for a DUI they always say, "I only
had a couple of beers," yet they can't
walk a straight line or pass a sobri-
ety test! On the same show a person
might be pulled over because he has
a tag light out and when the officer
approaches the vehicle it smells like
marijuana. The officer asks, "Have
you been smoking any weed?" The
occupant of the automobile states,


"No, what would make you say
that? I promise you on my mother's
grave I haven't been doing any
drugs!" He's asked to exit the vehi-
cle and gives permission for his car
to be searched, like on Cops. In a
few minutes they find, not only
marijuana, but usually other hard
drugs and paraphernalia and the
driver will inevitability say some-
thing like, "I don't know how that
got there!" - Dah!
Sin must be acknowledged. You
can't go on making excuses (if the
lies on Cops look so ridiculous to
you just image how excuse making
sinners must look before a Holy
God). Sin is first against God and
then against others - first vertical,
then horizontal!
The one that is sinning must take
responsibility for his own sin. The


murderer on trial may blame his
parents for his horrendous crime
but he made the choice to SIN - He
can blame others all he wants but he
is still guilty. The foricator/adul-
terer is guilty of sin. Saying my
wife/husband was not meeting my
needs will not hold water before a
Holy God (Matthew 5:27-32). Sin is
SIN and all too often is referred to as
sickness in our day - THAT WAY
IT DOESN'T SOUND SO BAD. But
remember when you "do wrong" -
SIN - you do something in opposi-
tion to God's Word (John 17:17) it is
sin. Sin must be confessed to God in
order to get saved (Romans 3:23 and
6:23) and those that are saved are re-
minded of their sin and their need to
constantly confess it in order to be in
right relationship with God (I John
1:8-10).

Submitted
ATLANTA - The U. S.
Small Business Adminis-
tration announced that
federal economic injury
disaster loans are avail-
able to small businesses,
small agricultural coop-
eratives and most pri-
vate non-profit organi-
zations of all sizes locat-
ed in Baker, Columbia,
Gadsden, Hamilton,
Jackson, Jefferson, Leon
and Madison counties in
Florida as a result of ex-
cessive rainfall that be-
gan on September 18,
2009.
"These counties are el-
igible because they are
contiguous to one or
more primary counties
in Georgia. The Small
Business Administration
recognizes that disasters
do not usually stop at
county or state lines. For
that reason, counties ad-
jacent to primary coun-
ties named in the decla-
ration are included," ac-
cording to Frank Skaggs,
director of SBA's Field
Operations Center East.
"When the Secretary
of Agriculture issues a
disaster declaration to
help farmers recover
from damages and loss-
es to crops, the Small
Business Administration
issues a declaration to
assist eligible entities af-
fected by the same disas-
ter," said Skaggs.
Under this declara-
tion, the SBA's Economic
Injury Disaster Loan
program is available to
eligible farm-related and
non farm-related entities
that suffered financial
losses as a direct result
of this disaster. Agricul-
tural producers, farmers
and ranchers are not eli-


gible to apply to SBA.
The loan amount can
be up to $2 million with
a 4 percent interest rate
and terms up to 30 years.
The SBA determines eli-
gibility based on the size
of the applicant, type of
activity and its financial
resources. Loan amounts
and terms are set by the
SBA and are based on
each applicant's finan-
cial condition. These
working capital loans
may be used to pay fixed
debts, payroll, accounts
payable, and other bills
that could have been
paid had the disaster not
occurred. The loans are
not intended to replace
lost sales or profits.
Disaster loan informa-
tion and application
forms may be obtained
by calling the SBA's Cus-
tomer Service Center at
800-659-2955 (800-877-
8339 for the hearing-im-
paired) Monday through

Let's look for zebras!


By Jessica Basham, FWC
Grab your tennis shoes, sunscreen and hat; it's
time to look for zebras in your backyard. We're not
talking about the kind of zebra you are thinking of,
but a butterfly called a zebra longwing!
Zebra longwings are black with yellow stripes.
Their wings are longer than other butterflies' wings
and oval-shaped.
These "zebras" are the official state butterfly of
Florida. You can see them all year throughout Flori-
da. Join the Get Outdoors, Florida! movement and
begin your search for these easy-to-spot butterflies,
or their caterpillars and eggs, by looking on the un-
derside of a leaf of a passionflower vine. Butterflies
lay their eggs under leaves to protect their eggs and
young caterpillars from predators.
If you find a cluster of small oval dots about the
size of the tip of your pinky finger "stuck" to the bot-
tom of a leaf, it may be butterfly eggs. Please don't
touch; they are very delicate.
Zebra longwing caterpillars are creamy white and
look as though they have long, sharp spines. The
spines are actually soft and will not hurt you. How-
ever, many caterpillars look very similar, and some
are poisonous. It is safer to look and not touch.
Passionflowers attract zebra longwings and are
important to the butterfly for its diet and for laying
eggs. Butterflies lay their eggs on specific plants
called host plants. Host plants provide the food
caterpillars need when they hatch. For zebra long-
wings the host plant is the passionflower vine. This
plant also contains a special toxin that helps zebra
longwing butterflies protect themselves from preda-
tors. This toxin makes the insect taste bad to animals
like birds that might want to eat it.
If you don't have any passionflowers in your yard,
you can also find adult zebra longwings eating nec-
tar and pollen from lantana, verbena, firebush and
shepherd's needle plants.


Using their proboscis, a straw-like tube extending
from their head, butterflies can drink the nectar
flowers make. One thing that makes zebra long-
wings and some other longwings different from oth-
er butterflies is that they eat pollen. Most butterflies
live only a few weeks, but longwings live up to six
months because of the addition of pollen to their
diet.
Activity: If you can't find any zebra longwings in
your yard, there are other butterflies you can seek.

NFCC Career Recruitment Specialists speaks to
students about finding the perfect career


Efrain Bonilla's Strategies for Academic Success class visits with NFCC's Kim Halfhill from the Career Resource Center to discuss future Job options.


Submitted by: NFCC Office of College
Advancement
MADISON, FL -NFCC Career Re-
cruitment Specialist Kim Halfhill
spoke with NFCC's Strategies for
Academic Success students about
"Finding a Career for Your Future".
"When exploring careers, I tell stu-
dents there are three things they
should consider interests and abilities,
job and salary outlook and training
and educational requirements," said


Halfhill.
Halfhill not only discussed perti-
nent issues with students in regards
to job searching, but also had each
student use an online job evaluation
tool to fill out an interest profile rat-
ing their job likes and dislikes. Stu-
dents received instant results from the
interest profile, as well as a list of pos-
sible compatible careers based on
their interest areas and personality
types. Students also researched skills


needed for success, training needs, job
salaries, and possible degrees and col-
leges to attend for the careers that
they selected.
"This course will help you be more
successful in reaching your goal,"
said NFCC student Voncyle Wilson.
"This course made me think about
jobs in a more analytical, creative, and
practical way."
"I think this is an important process
for any student to go through,


whether they have a career plan or
not," said Halfhill. "The process
forces students to consider questions
about a career they may not have con-
sidered before. For many students it
confirms their ideas and for other stu-
dents it opens up many new possibili-
ties."
NFCC students seeking one-on-one
appointments with Kim Halfhill may
call (850) 973-1615 or email
halfhillk@nfcc.edu.

dual enrollment standards and offerings
the opportunity to earn up to 37 credit hours prior to high school graduation,"

mix of general education courses as well as electives, some online delivery as
well as face-to-face."
Three separate dual enrollment tracks will be offered during NFCC's summer
term beginning July 6. Dual enrollment students are not limited to these tracks
or specific courses, but could benefit from the structured course plan. NFCC will
also offer online courses during the fall and spring semesters that are specifical-
ly developed for dual enrollment students.
"The information was well received," said Mary Anne Wheeler, NFCC Dean
of Enrollment Services. "We were able to network and discuss the many facets
of high school dual enrollment and ways to better serve our students."
Representatives from NFCC's six-county district were represented at the
meeting, including school personnel from Aucilla Christian Academy, Branford
High School, Hamilton County High School, Jefferson County High School,
. Lafayette High School, Madison County High School, Suwannee High School
and Taylor County High School.

MADISON, FL - North Florida Community College personnel met with edu-
cation leaders from NFCC's six-county district recently to discuss new standards
and opportunities in the high school dual enrollment program - a program that
allows eligible high school students to take college level courses, free of tuition

lege Programs Statement of Standards, changes in vendor of postsecondary
readiness assessment, and NFCC's new dual enrollment application.
According to NFCC Dean of Academic Affairs Dr. Sharon Erle, NFCC has set
up a system through its new Early College Institute that better guides high
school dual enrollment students through the course selection and course se-
quence process; starting students out with less rigorous courses that also meet
course prerequisites before moving to higher level classes.

I'm off to Tallahassee
for three days and my
annual quota of traffic
and stoplights should be
filled in short order.
The day we get a stop-
light instead of a caution
light here in White
Springs will probably
come, but I hope we
never get more than we
want. Life is too short to
spend much of it wait-
ing on a green light and
I'll try to spend that time
thinking of good things
to write about. If you
would like to help me
out, I'd love to hear
from you too!

Hamilton County High Honor Roll Celebration


Wesley Hawkins shared the history of the area surrounding the mu-
seum
By Paula G. Williams, HCHS Guidance Counselor

The 2nd grading period honor roll students at Hamilton
County High School spent Friday, March 5th, in Tallahas-
see. The group was met by Mr. Wesley Hawkins who
spent the day with his hometown students and staff.
The first stop was the Tallahassee Museum and Hawkins
was the tour guide. The group enjoyed the nature trails
and the animals along with the information given by the
guide.
The second stop was the capitol building. Students
looked around this site and moved on the historical capi-
tol building. They listened to the historical presentation
and took part in visiting the rooms in this building to view
the artifacts. Hawkins also shared information about the
monument to the fallen officer and the memorial service
that is held at this location yearly in Tallahassee. He en-
couraged the students to always remember the sacrifices
officers make each day to uphold the law and protect citi-
zens.
The next stop was Seminole Winds where we had reser-
vations for lunch. We walked in and were seated immedi-
ately to partake in this buffet style experience. The stu-


Listening to the presentation on the inside steps of the historical capitol.


dents voiced how much they enjoyed this.
The group looked forward to going to the
Fun Station all day and the wait was worth-
while. They had a ball before heading to Gov-
ernor Square Mall. They enjoyed shopping,
eating and looking around.


Before departing, Mr. Hawkins talked to
the students regarding the importance of a
good education. He cautioned them to put
God first, and do whatever it takes to position

WHEN IS A


PUBLIC NOTICE


NOT A PUBLIC


NOTICE?


Don't Let Florida Officials

Remove YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW

From The Newspaper.


Keep Public Notices
In Your Newspaper!
Proposed legislation would remove
your right to read public notices in
newspapers, restricting them to
government web sites only.
We're concerned.
You should be, too.
Public notices are an important tool
in ensuring an informed citizenry.
They have played a key role in
America's participatory democracy
where it counts most: how your tax
dollars are spent and how policy is
made.
When located in easy-to-find
sections of your newspaper, they are
fully accessible to everyone, unlike the
Internet. Large segments of the state's
population, including more than half
of Floridians over 65 and one-third
of minority populations, do not have
Internet access.
The public's right to know cannot
be abandoned in favor of cost savings
that are elusive.


Consider that less than 10% of U.S.
citizens view a government web site
daily, according to the U.S. Census
Bureau. This contrasts dramatically
with the 83% of adults who read a
community newspaper every week,
according to the National Newspaper
Association.
Furthermore, a public notice printed
in the newspaper produces a
permanent record. A newspaper is
archived for years, and is not subject
to computer crashes and hackers.
Newspapers are easily verifiable,
fully transparent and represent
an impartial third party. Giving
government singular responsibility
for distributing public notices is like
putting the fox in charge of the hen
house.
Newspapers are your watchdogs.
Keep it that way. Contact your local
representative today and voice your
opinion.

The goal of Springfest
sponsors Magnolia Music
& Events is to present
great music festivals that
create and foster an inten-
tional music community.
The festivals are designed
to be enhanced by the
beautiful natural settings at
the Spirit of the Suwannee
Music Park. The best de-
scription of the music is
Americana or Grassroots,
which includes a flavorful,
rich blend of new and tra-
ditional folk, bluegrass,
newgrass, roots rock, alter-
native country,
singer/songwriter, rhythm
and blues, Cajun and
Celtic music plus a few
things that defy descrip-
tion.
Among the great artists
performing will be Peter
Rowan and Jim Laud-
erdale, both Grammy win-
ners. Grammy-award win-
ner and five-time Grammy
nominee Peter Rowan is a
bluegrass singer-songwriter
with a career spanning
more than five decades,
working with bluegrass pa-
triarch Bill Monroe and
Jerry Garcia and as a solo
performer and bandleader
as well. Jim Lauderdale
currently hosts the Jim
Lauderdale Show on
WSM-650 radio weekly
and is a two-time Grammy
winner, winning his first
Grammy in 2002 with Dr.
Ralph Stanley for "Lost in
the Lonesome Pines." He
has also had two other
nominations.
Leftover Salmon formed
in 1989 as the originators
of the "Polyethnic Cajun
Slamgrass" genre, a style
of music that blends blue-
grass, rock, country, blues,
jazz and Cajun/Zydeco.
Leftover Salmon's perfor-
mance will be the first time
the band has played in
Florida since its hiatus at
the end of 2004.

Electric Dirt


Levon Helm, formerly of The Band, wins Grammy


for album that includes Carter Stanley song


Staff
Legendary musician and
rock icon Levon Helm has
won a Grammy for his
second solo record, Elec-
tric Dirt. The record was
named Best Americana
Album of 2009. Notably
for local folks, the record
contains a cover of
"White Dove," a tune by
former Live Oak resident
Carter Stanley of the


world famous Stanley
Brothers.
Electric Dirt again finds
Helm steeped in tradition,
in his connection to the
land and those who live
by it. At the same time, he
paints a broader musical
canvas by incorporating
gospel, blues and soul into
a wide range of original
compositions and eclectic
cover songs.


"Our objective here was
to take the honesty, inno-
cence and purity of the
Dirt Farmer record, which
represents a true element
of what Levon is all
about, but also expand on
that and explore deeper
the gold mine of Levon's
musical artistry," said
Campbell.
Electric Dirt starts with
a rousing rendition of The


Grateful Dead's "Ten-
nessee Jed," moving on to
a beautiful, stripped-down
version of Happy Traum's
"Golden Bird." "Growing
Trade," written by Levon
Helm and Larry Camp-
bell, tells a heartfelt story
of a farmer's struggle to
preserve his livelihood.
The rousing horn arrange-
ments by Allen Toussaint
and the Levon Helm Band


on "Kingfish," written by
Randy Newman, bring the
swagger of New Orleans
to the forefront.
In 2007, after overcom-
ing seemingly insur-
mountable odds, Helm re-
leased Dirt Farmer, his
first solo recording in 25
years, which went on to
win a Grammy for "Best
Traditional Folk Album."
The San Francisco Chron-


icle said, "This album is
nothing less than a return
to form by one of the
most soulful vocalists in
rock history." Rolling
Stone went on further to
hail Levon Helm's Mid-
night Ramble as "2008's
Best Jam Session" and the
same year, Helm received
the "Artist of the Year"
award from the Americana
Music Association.

Cedar Key hosts 'Old Florida' arts fest


By Sandra B, .lin i-.l*, I
If plain old curiosity hasn't yet inspired
you to visit the town selected by the USDA
as Florida's Rural Community of the Year
for 2009, then mark April 24 and 25 on
your calendar for an excursion to the west-
ern terminus of State Route 24. That's
when you'll have the added incentive of
enjoying Cedar Key's annual Old Florida
Celebration of the Arts.
Unlike many art festivals and most craft
fairs, this one is juried to ensure original
artistry and fine craftsmanship. Over a
hundred artists chosen to participate this
year will compete for $10,000 in prize
money and another $10,000 in purchase


awards. The charming and Historic Second
Street will become a pedestrian-only mall
for this weekend event, both sides lined
with booths displaying art and fine crafts
in many different media - oils, acrylics,
prints, jewelry, ceramics, photography,
stained glass, woodwork, sculpture, fiber
and textiles.
A few steps beyond the booths is City
Park, where children will have sidewalk
chalk art, face painting, a playground and
beach. You can listen to music in the park
while lunching on seafood and desserts
prepared and sold by local school, civic
and church organizations. You won't soon
forget the Garden Club's homemade-from-

pion clam chowder.
If you have time for a leisurely visit,
consider arriving a few days early or leav-
ing a few days later. It will give you the
chance to enjoy the quiet charm of Cedar
Key, its waterways, its bird life, its muse-
ums, shops and restaurants. You can walk
or cycle the entire town, photograph mag-
nificent oaks and historic architecture, rent
a kayak, charter a fishing trip, cast a line
from the town dock, go birding, watch in-
credible sunsets, or stay up late stargazing.
During the week you can join one of eight
free yoga classes. Wander through the lo-
cal art galleries or visit the Cedar Key Pot-
tery Studio and see where their signature
flat blue glaze originates. Or bring an easel
and meet up with a group of plein air
artists.
Cedar Key is made up of a chain of
small barrier islands extending three miles
out into the Gulf of Mexico; the currently
inhabited keys are joined by short bridges


(which also make popular fishing spots).
Thirteen other islands make up one of the
oldest National Wildlife Refuges in the
country, providing habitat to vast numbers
of migratory and shore birds. There are
daily boat tours to the island of Atsena
Otie, site of the original settlement and
home to an Eberhard Faber pencil factory,
but devastated by a hurricane at the end of
the 19th century and never rebuilt.
The Old Florida Celebration of the Arts
is easy to find. Take SR 24 (Archer Road)
out of Gainesville and drive southwest to
the end of the road, about 60 miles. You
can also pick up SR24 at Archer, Bronson
or Otter Creek if you are coming from oth-
er directions. Aviation buffs can even fly
here (www.airav.com/airport/KCDK), as
long as they can land and take off with
about 2000 feet of runway.

ordinator Mandy Cassiano, 352-543-5400,

tion, education, and safety.
AZA requires zoos and
aquariums to successfully
complete this rigorous re-
view and inspection every
five years in order to be
members of the Associa-
tion.
"As a member of the As-
sociation of Zoos and
Aquariums, Lubee Bat
Conservancy is a true
leader in wildlife conserva-
tion," Maddy added.
The certification process
includes a detailed applica-
tion and a meticulous on-
site inspection by a team of
trained zoo and aquarium
professionals. The inspect-
ing team observes all as-
pects of the institution's
operation in areas such as
animal care; keeper train-
ing; safety for visitors,
staff, and animals; conser-
vation efforts; veterinary
programs; financial stabili-
ty; risk management; and
other areas. The inspection
team prepares an extensive
written report for the Ac-
creditation Commission.
Finally, top officials are in-
terviewed at a formal
Commission hearing, after
which certification is
granted, tabled, or denied.
Any institution that is de-
nied may reapply one year


after the Commission's de-
cision is made.
Contact Lubee Bat Con-
servancy Director Allyson


Walsh at 352-485-1250 for

the institution, including
special events and activi-


ties for visitors and its on-
going commitment to
wildlife conservation and
science education.

Breast cancer screening means
checking a woman's breasts for cancer
before there are signs or symptoms of
the disease. Three main tests are used
to screen the breasts for cancer. Talk to
your doctor about which tests are right
for you, and when you should have
them.

* Mammogram: The most effective
means to detecting breast cancer, a
mammogram is an X-ray of the breast.
Mammograms can detect breast cancer
early, when it is easier to treat and
before it is big enough to feel or cause
symptoms. Having regular
mammograms can lower the risk of
dying from breast cancer. If you are age
40 years or older, be sure to have a
screening mammogram every one to
two years.

* Clinical breast exam: A clinical breast
exam is an examination by a doctor or
nurse, who uses his or her hands to feel
for lumps or other changes.

* Breast self-exam: A breast self-exam
is when you check your own breasts for
lumps, changes in size or shape of the
breast, or any other changes in the
breasts or underarm (armpit).

Having a clinical breast exam or a
breast self-exam does not decrease risk
of dying from breast cancer. If you
choose to have clinical breast exams
and to perform breast self-exams, be
sure you also get regular
mammograms.

Breast cancer screenings are typically
available at clinics, the local hospital or
a doctor's office. If you want to be
screened for breast cancer, call your
doctor's office. They can help you
schedule an appointment. Most health
insurance companies pay for the cost of
breast cancer screening tests.

prevention and control, visit the

Submitted
A retired career military
guy, Bill Keith always
loved painting, studying
art in high school and later
under various artists during
his military career. Al-
though he dabbled in art
his entire life, he had never
taken on a huge project
such as the one he recently
gave as a gift to the Spirit
of the Suwannee Music
Park. It was all about
friendship and worth the
effort, he relates.
Bill Keith has been mak-
ing nightly trips to the
SOSMP for years, dining
with his good friend,
Charles "Uncle Charles"
Carrithers. When Charles
passed away suddenly last
year, Keith, a widower,
continued to eat at the SOS
Caf6 and Restaurant night-
ly. He became friends with
Charles' sister, Jean Cor-
nett, who with husband
Bob started the Music
Park.
"One day Bill said he
wanted to give me (and the
Music Park) a gift," Jean
Cornett said.
Miss Jean, as she is
called by family, co-work-
ers and friends, said she
didn't know what to make
of the offer to paint a huge
backdrop since she didn't
know Bill was an artist.
Bill soon produced a draw-
ing of his idea for the back-
drop that would cover the
entire back of the Music
Hall stage. "I sat here one
night and made a sketch
and told her she needed
something unique to the
Spirit of the Suwannee
Music Park," Bill said of
his project. After a few re-
visions over the course of
several months, Bill enlist-
ed the help of one of his
buddies, Harry Taylor. The
gift of love was underway.
"I can't sing, so this is
my song," Bill said as he
related the story of his
artistic gift to the Music
Hall where music is made
weekly.
After several weeks
painting the design for the
paddle wheel riverboat


much like those often seen
on the Suwannee River in
the 1800s, there emerged a
paddle wheel boat named
the Spirit of the Suwannee.
Painted on heavy muslin,
the guys worked for nearly
a month, spending 2-3
days a week at the Music
Hall on the largest painting
Bill had ever done. Intri-
cate details can be seen on
the boat such as a memori-
al to Charles, giving him
the honorary title of cap-
tain.
"I came to the Spirit of
the Suwannee Park be-
cause of the SOS Caf6 and
Restaurant, it was close to
where I live, and this is
where I met Charles," Bill
said of his friendship with
Charles. "We had a lot in
common and became
friends," he said.
Bill, now "73 years
young" and a chess player
who also likes to sculpt
wood, did a lot of measur-
ing to put the project into
perspective, all the while
moving forward with
what turned out to be a
magnificent backdrop
perfect for the stage of a
music hall located on the
banks of the famous
Suwannee River.
"I'm a retired sailor, and
I've painted enough
ships," Bill laughed, sug-
gesting he put the big job
of painting the large paddle
wheel boat off on Harry.
After all, retiring as a
chief after 20 years in the
Navy does give a man
some advantage in the
pecking order.
Harry, a regular at
karaoke nights in the Mu-
sic Hall, had a big part in
the project and he, too,
worked long and hard to
make the backdrop the
perfect gift. His friends
and family were on hand
for the unveiling and re-
ception for he and Bill,
crowning them both with
"arteest hats," otherwise
known as berets.
Both men were present-
ed with a certificate of ap-

and honored with a beauti-
fully decorated cake
thanking them. About 150
people attended this event
with emcee Ted "Teddy
Mac" McMullen oversee-
ing the unveiling.
The gift is now hung on


stage where it can be fully
displayed or moved aside
when a solid backdrop is
needed or the huge, hand-
made American flag is
preferred as a background
for special events.
Bill Keith's project of
love will live on for many
years to honor him, Harry
Taylor and Bill's love for
