Mulberry St. Adoption of the new rules and fees followed the latest skirmish in the evolving controversy between event organizers and city officials, particularly Police Chief David Frisby. This time the skirmish involved organizers of the 55th Watermelon Festival. Frisby earlier had notified festival organizers that the organization would have to pay $1,200 for police overtime during the festival. In discussion at its meeting Mon- day night, the Watermelon Festival Committee apparently decided to explore alternatives to paying the (See Parades Page 12) Monticello In-Town Shuttle Service Holds Its Ribbon Cutting Ceremony On Monday DIANNE WESTBROOK pins a Mother's Day Corsage on her mother, Victoria Karnoupakis, during a visit with her at Jefferson Nursing Center. (News Photo) School Budget Shortfall Remains Depite Increase RAY CICHON Managing Editor The increase of 2.28 percent over the $7 million state funding the school district receives, will gener- ate about $150,000, Finance Direc- tor Hal Wilson said Wednesday. MN. Pl gjH --*1 lld'lcj-b ^ I.- HAL WILSON, school finance officer examines budget items. (News Photo) "This is about the same dollar in- crease as we received last year," he explained. Enrollment in the district for 2005 was 1,294 students. Projected enrollment for 2006 is 1,223, a 5.5 percent decrease, Wil- son said. This decrease is factored into the percentage of increased state funds districts receive. Conversely, he said, if enroll- ment increases, so does the percent- age of increased funding. "At best, we are still left with a $950,000 shortfall, which has to be addressed," he stated. In addition, Wilson said that the step raises which normally accrue to teachers each year, will consume the $150,000 state increase in funding. Reiterating his earlier explanation of the district budget situation, Wil- so-n samd that in FY 2005, $1.1 mil- lion %. as spent in excess of income. The budget was balanced by trans- ferring funds from the fund balance diiricis are required to keep on hand, as well as other non- reoccutrng funds. It is this fund balance which must be replaced, in FY 2006, roughly $700,000, which has been the sub- ject of recent workshops.

Barnhill, Brian Hayes, David Frisby, Mary Frances Drawdy and Skeet Joyner. (News Photo) Hinchliffe added that the city has approximately 145 Healthy Start mothers per year. Many of these have no means of transportation. He estimated that between eight and 10 women would use the serv- ice each morning to arrive at their Healthy Start appointments. After the speeches, a purple rib- bon was stretched in front of the shuttle, driven for the first time by Queen Pride. The shuttle, a 10-seat handicap equipped vehicle, inched forward, driving through the ribbon and starting out on it's first run with two passengers on board. One of the passengers said of the shuttle, "This is an answer to prayers." The shuttle runs for ten hours a day, six days a week, except for the time slot of 12:30-1:30, beginning at 7:30 a.m. and concluding at 5:30 p.m. The route begins at the Jefferson Place Apartments at 7:30 a.m., moves on to Tallahassec Memorial Family Medical, the Courthouse, Jefferson Arms Apartments, How- ard Middle School, Jefferson Ele- mentary School, Jefferson County Head Start, Heritage Manor Apart- ments, Jefferson Nursing Center, Jefferson Senior Citizens Center.

(See Shuttle Page 12) Former Bank Teller Pleads To Grand Theft LAZARO ALEMAN Senior Staff Writer A former Capital City Bank teller charged with stealing more than $100,000 from the financial institu- tion has plead no contest to the charge and been sentenced. Emily Jane Vinson plead no con- test to grand theft on March 14. She was given 15 years probation and five months in the county jail, which she began serving March 18. Vinson must also pay the bank $100,000 in restitution, to be paid in monthly installments of $500 mini- mum. Circuit Court Judge L. Ralph Smith withheld adjudication. Mean- ing that the court defers a ruling un- til all conditions are met and that possibly the offense will not appear on a criminal record. Police arrested Vinson last Sep- tember, after Capital City Bank offi- cials in Tallahassee reported the theft of $100,000 from the Monti- cello branch. Bank officials uncovered the theft, which consisted of a series of trans- actions over a period of time, while investigating another irregularity. According to the investigating re- port, bank tellers are assigned indi- vidual numbers that must be entered with each transaction. Tellers also are given individual pass codes that permit them sole access to their work. In addition, tellers must keep run- ning computerized records of all their transactions in what is called a journal. In Vinson's case, she was able to manipulate the balance at the end cfl each business day so that the miss- ing money never appeared on her journal. "In simple terms," explained then Deputy Police Chief Bill Bullock, the investigating officer, "Vinson entered the false total into her jour- nal and at the end of the business day, she deleted it. This system af- forded her the ability to mask the shortage in her till." The method, Bullock added par- enthetically, "is akiin to sltaying (See Teller Page 2) 137TH YEAR NO.36, 50 CENTS V, "Uvo PAGE 2, MONTICELLO, (FL), NEWS, FRI., MAY 6, 2005 ..... .... , CITY POLICE halted traffic briefly Friday morning so this John Deere tractor and 20 Forum Planned T l At Library (Continued From DEBBIE SNAPP ahead of a balar foot cut harrow could manage to get around the Courthouse Circle.

Books have been donated from members of the community, and hundreds of books have been accu- mulated for the Sale.

The National Anthem Project, a ,multi-year effort to reteach Ameri- can's "The Start-Spangled Banner," is led by the National Association for Music Education (MENC). Mrs. Laura Bush serves as Honorary Chairperson. The- campaign launch comes on the heels of a recent Harris Poll that shows two out of three Americans don't know the words to "The Star- Spangled Banner" and many are un- aware of the historical events that inspired the penning of the song. This finding prompted MENC, the world's largest arts education asso- ciation and the only one that ad- dresses all facets of music education, to spreadhead the project and shine the spotlight on the impor- tance of school music programs, given that this is whereimost Ameri- cans learn the national anthem and others patriotic songs. "Recent budget cuts to school mu- sic programs have silenced our na- tion, cutting off students from ac- cess to learning about our country's historical traditions," says John Mahlmann, Executive Director, MENC. "Music in schools provides the platform for citizenship that stays with us for a lifetime." One goal of the campaign is to change the practice of Americans listening to a soloist perform the an- them, particularly at special events, and to encourage everyone to sing the anthem together. The nationwide initiative is sup- ported by the Jeep brand, the pro- ject's National Presenting Sponsor. "As the Jeep brand is deeply rooted in American traditions and values, we are excited about the op- portunity.to be apart.of the National Anthem Project and to join the Na- tional Association for Music Educa- tion in this mission to restore America's. voice," said Dieter Zet- sche, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Chrysler Group. The project is led by the project's official musical ambassadors, The Oak Ridge Boys and is supported by leading organizations across the country, including The Girls Scouts ofth&7U'S.A'. The American Legion anid The' Hisi-l Ch-ann, -"Today our country is calling on our music educators to restore America's voice," said Mahlmann. "We want to remind all Americans to cherish our national treasures and to celebrate our unity and values in song." This multi-faceted campaign will include curriculum efforts in schools across the country, special perform- ances and alliances with profes- sional sporting events, public service announcements and special events in cities nationwide.

Travlers Need To -Take BOOst Summer Nutrition Plan Precautions For Health, Taking a few health precautions when traveling could keep you from taking an unwanted trip to the doc- tor. That's the advice from experts who say travelers can be at particu- lar risk for a number of health prob- lems. Try these tips: Plan To Stay Healthy If you will be traveling outside the U.S. particularly to developing countries in Africa, Asian and Latin America, talk with a travel medicine specialist before hitting the road. The U.S. government also pro- vides health information for people traveling abroad. SAsk about health conditions and disease outbreaks in the country you plan to visit and find out if any vac- cinations are required before you travel. Watch Your Eyes- Time spent on a plane or in the car can take its toll on eyes, as can traveling be- tween climates. Symptoms such as scratchy, itchy or burning eyes due to dry eye are not only uncomfort- able, they can also interfere with vi- sion and damage eye tissue if left untreated. Dry eye can be caused by many factors, including a dry environment (such as a cold and windy climate, airplane cabin or dusty room), aging, wearing contact lenses, ciga- rette smoke and cold or allergy medicines and pain relievers. It may pay to pack lubricating eye drops. Pack Your Pills- If you are tak- ing medication, be sure to take enough with you to cover an ex- tended trip. Doctors generally rec- ommend bringing an extra week's worth. Also, if you are flying, pack the medication in your carry-on luggage. If you are driving or flying, be sure to keep the medication in a place that gives you easy access. Drink Up- Travelers often be- come dehydrated either due to the nature of their travels or because they simply forgot to drink water. Pack a few extra bottles in your bag and have a sip every half hour or so. If you are traveling with your fam- ily, be sure kids stay hydrated as well. Early warning signs of dehy- dration include headache, nausea and fatigue. Remember, it may seem counter- intuitive but you can be dehydrated and not feel thirsty. BY FRANK BROGAN .Back in late 1996, when I was. Florida's Commissioner of Educa- tion, it came to my attention that there were ample federal resources to feed the state's children in the summer when they no longer had access to the free and reduced price meals they enjoyed during the school year. And yet, at that time, less than 14 percent of those children were par- ticipating in the Summer Food Serv- ice Program, and there were several counties in which tens of thousands of hungry children had no access at all. Recognizing the important link between year-round nutrition and successful educational outcomes for schoolchildren, I made increased ac- cess to this program a priority of my administration. It is a rare occurrence when fund- ing intersects need and all that re- mains is an effective public-private partnership to effectively apply its 'use. So we collected together the school food service directors and other leaders from communities around the state in a forum to chart the challenges of and successful models for feeding children when school was out. In the first year of this effort, 14 new summer food sponsors stepped up to help in communities around this state, and average daily partici- pation rates among children went up 26 percent. For our efforts, the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture recognized us with a "Regional Sunshine Award," and the national Education Week periodical featured Florida twice in two years. Since that time, the Florida De- partment of Education has taken other progressive steps towards in- creasing availability of this nutri- tional resources by serving as one of two states to pilot the Seamless Summer Food Waiver, a measure designed to reduce the paperwork of public schools that sponsor the pro- gram. By essentially making summer food an extension of the National School Lunch Program, public schools can offer both programs without two sets of federal forms. Because of the successful piloting of that program, Congress recently opened up this option for the rest of the states: and Florida has seen the original three counties opting for the Wavier grow to 36 as of last sum- mer. And now the DOE has worked co- operatively with several private, nonprofit and faith-based organiza- tions that want to ensure that more children have access to this impor- tant community resource through the Children's Summer Nutrition proposal also known as the "Willie Ann Glenn Act." It provides that at least one sum- mer food site in each district oper- ates within five miles of a school with 50 percent or more free and reduced-price school meal eligibility and stays open for 40 days of sum- mer. It also ensures that additional sum- mer food sites are within 10 miles of all elementary schools in low- income areas. The proposal does this while en- suring local control through an ex- emption that school boards can place on their agendas for public awareness and cooperative leader- ship strategies between public and private community organizations. If approved, Florida would once again lead the nation for its innova- (See Boost Page 5) Procrastination Wastes Time Imagine a workplace where there's always a full week's worth of important tasks to do, but the em- ployees can't get started until 10 a.m. Wednesday. Although that may sound far- fetched, it's similar to how workers worldwide assessed their personal productivity in a recent online sur- vey sponsored by Microsoft Corp. Responses to the Microsoft Office Personal Productivity Challenge (PPC) from more than 38,000 peo- ple in 200 countries showed that, on average, workers spend about 17 hours of their typical 45-hour work week in unproductive activities. The top time-waster among U.S. workers is procrastination, cited by 42 percent of respondents, followed by lack of team communication at 39 percent and ineffective meetings at 34 percent. Other common strug- gles include managing e-mail and accessing important information while away from the office, keeping notes and other documents organ- ized, and prioritizing demands on employees' time. Along with these challenges, the survey responses also showed that technology has a strong influence on workers' productivity. That's no surprise to Dr. Larry Baker, a 25- year veteran in the time- management field, who helped Microsoft develop the PPC assess- ment. "Computer-based communication has dramatically quickened the pace of business," Baker said. "As work- ers depend more and more heavily on technology, their software use also needs to evolve so they can more effectively prioritize the infor- mation coming at them, figure out what to do with it, and minimize the distractions that drag down their productivity." Baker offered some suggestions for using technology to overcome common time-wasting activities and be more productive: Block unwanted e-mail by us- ing anti-spam filtering tools, and prioritize other messages with the help of software tools such as search folders, quick flags, reminders and alerts. Reduce the number and length of meeting spaces that enable co- workers to communicate and col- laborate without leaving their desks. Stay connected while on the go through the use of mobile comput- ing devices and software that en- ables remote access to e-mail, tasks. contacts, calendar entries'and other important information stored on (See Procrastination Page 5) Letters to the Editor Welcomed 500 Words or Less Letters must be signed and include phone number of writer I II Il I I I L ~~;4 ~ 2 :a:~ s Ei ~'" m W w% mva Eo mwm no N w % IL VO r r r L As Letters... Writer Praises Community Effort To Secure Shuttle Dear Editor: I think it is extraordinary when a community pulls together to take a big step forward. The creation of the Monticello Shuttle is such an event. I think we should be proud of Mayor Julie Conley, the City Council, and City Boost Nutrition (Continued From Page 4) tion and aggressive strategies for linkl:ig nutrition and education. The challenge is getting the word out. The Florida Legislature has be- fore it now an opportunity to do just that. There is potentially $106 million in federal funds waiting to be used by our state for boosting children's summer-long nutrition needs, so they are ready to learn when fall comes. We can use this proposal to effec- tively alert whole communities to this resource and encourage their partnering with the district school boards in making hunger and under nutrition a subject of history not cur- rent events. In one sweep, we could feed more children, import more federal tax dollars, and generate a positive im- pact on our local communities' sum- mer economies and still maintain local autonomy. staff for their efforts in making the shuttle a reality, especially Commis- sioner Brian Hayes, who chaired the committee studying the project. Also it is important not to miss how other cornmunitv !icddrs, in- cluding David Frisby, chief of Po- lice; Kim Barnhill, County Health Director; and Mary Frances Drawdy, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce pulled to- gether with Big Bend Transit to bring this before the City and iron out operational details.

"With the first crop of spring pro- duce readying to be picked, ambi- tious folks may want to consider home food preservation for family and friends," Copeland said. "While canning might be the most economical and practical method of home food preservation, especially when there is a large amount of food to be preserved, freezing foods at home is quick and easy. In addition, drying foods at home produces a stable shelf product that takes up little storage space." Cost factors to consider while pondering whether to preserve food Preserving include: the cost of produce, cost of containers, both reusable and one-time containers; cost of water and fuel to wash, blanch, freeze, and the like; cost of added ingredi- ents such as sugar, spices, anti dis- coloration treatments; and the cost of equipment, including a canner, freezer or dehydration device. "There is no one best economical and practical choice when it comes to food preservation," said Cope- land. The decision should be based on the family's preference for foods she said. "However, consideration should also be given to the particular food and the amount of food to be pre- served and stored. If you only have a small amount of food, freezing might be your best option," said Copeland. "If you have limited storage space, dehydrated foods do not take up much room. And while the ini- tial outlay of home canning mate- rial can be rather costly, this equipment can be used again and again, except for the lids.

The game against Melody Chris- tian was chalked up as a win by forfeit for the Tigers. When they faced off against Branford the Tigers finished with an 11-7 loss. Coach Alfreddie Hightower said that though they lost, some good things did happen for the Tigers. Thomas Lyles smashed out a three-run home run; Markyce Larry hit two doubles; and Scottie Norton and Clark Latson each hit one dou- ble. Alex Pitts pitched the game, striking out two batters, giving up nine hits, three walks. Hightower said the game was a 7:30 p.m. start and the Tigers hit very well in the first and second in- ning, but when the lights came on in the third, it apparently threw them off kilter. "We played worse with the lights and they seemed to be playing bet- ter with them," said Hightower. "We didn't have a lot of errors. It was a pretty decent game, but we just came up on the short end." Hamilton County clobbered the Tigers 9-0. "We only had two errors, they flat-out earned the runs," said Hightower. "We kept hitting lazy fly balls and they had a good out- fielder who wasn't dropping them." The Tigers only connected with the ball twice, singles from Latson and Alex Lingle. Monday night, the Tigers came out of the first round of the district championship with a 4-0 win over West Gadsden. Lingle pitched, striking out eight and giving up two hits and no walks. Dionte Hightower, Breon Parker and Damell Brooks all hit singles and scored a run. "They wouldn't pitch to Markyce. (Larry)" Hightower said. He was walked three times and stole four bases and Quantez Burke hit two singles and scored one run.

The committee learned that the JCHS Auditorium is unavailable June 4 for the Jr. Miss Pageant be- cause of an earlier booking. Hence the scramble is on to find a suitable locale to hold the pageant, along with space for the dress re- hearsal.

The committee learned earlier that the Lotto Van was being refurbished and thus is not available, and looked into acquiring a stage elsewhere. It was discovered that stage renal fees are prohibitive. Thus is the committee decided to seek out a flatbed truck which can be decorated and used as a stage for the Platform Events and otherwise as needed. Event Chair Bobbie Krebs re- ported that 100 applications have gone out for the Arts and Crafts Event, and 17 have been returned, cords indicate. The committee will encourage businesses to decorate their win- dows with a '50's theme, and to dress in the same style, during the festival. Brett Kelly and his 19 South band will play for the kickoff dinner, and also after the bed race, which follow the dinner. Festival T-shirts are expected to arrive May 16.

Meanwhile, the committee pre- sented a request that Frisby provide a breakdown of the $1,200, showing exactly how the money was being used. Frisby took issue with the request, saying that such an analysis had been available all along. He recom- mended against issuing the permit, if the waterinelon committee refused to pay the $1,200. "We haven't let others do this," Frisby said, referring to the recent 'brouhaha over the coming Emanci- pation Day celebration. Police supervision for that event was assured only in the Ilth hour, when the Jefferson County Republi- can Party stepped forward and of- fered to ante up the $500 needed for the police overtime. Betsy Gray, chairperson of the Watermelon Festival Committee, apologized for her ignorance of the recently dran regulations affecting parades and street closings. Her point, she: said, was that the Watermelon Festival Committee could ill afford to pay $1,200, given the liability insurance and other ex- penses it was required to pay. She wondered why volunteer auxiliary officers from Leon County or deputies from the Sheriffs De- partment here couldn't take over some of the duties. "Sheriff David Hobbs said he was willing to supply eight or 10 depu- ties," Gray said. "We are facing a real strained budget because we're having to pay for liability and other things. We had no crowd control last year. We had civilians trying to control the situation and it wasn't working. We are concerned with more than just the road closing. We want to utilize all resources so that we can maximize our budget." Frisby responded that sheriffs deputies had provided assistance in the past and that the assistance was appreciated. But he doubted that the Sheriffs Department was going to substitute deputies for police and do it at no cost. "If David wants to replace the po- lice officers with deputies, that's news to me," Frisby said. Councilman Luther Pickles offered that it would be difficult to overturn the parade rules and regulations, es- pecially since the council had drafted these after much considera- tion. "We need to be strict," Council- man Brian Hayes said in support. Both he and Pickles expressed, a willing to contribute toward the needed $1,200; as did City Attorney Bruce Lienback. The councilmen's advice to Gray was that she seek contributions from the community to pay the $1,200. They were sure the contributions would be forthcoming, they said. With that the council adopted the rules and regulations that had been under consideration since several months earlier.
