County Scores Success In Legislative Session

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

Although a little premature possi--
bly, members of the Jefferson
County Legislative Committee --
alias the lobbying committee -- were
celebrating- their almost within-
grasp victory Monday night.
It's to say that the Governor had
yet to sign off on the appropriation
bill passed by the Legislature. But
as of Tuesday -- and barring any
last-minute line item veto by the
Governor -- the county was set to
receive $4,095,144 in
appropriations.
Among the projects the House
and Senate funded in the appropria-"
tions bill:
$500,000 for the renovation and
conversion of the former high
school buildings into a a courthouse
annex. The idea is to relocate most
county operations to this site within
the next year or so.
$250,000 for the purchase of the
Tallahassee Memorial Hospital
building next door to the public
health clinic for expansion of the

Health Department.
$582,000 for the long-pursued
expansion of the city's sewer system
into the Cooper's Pond Subdivision.
Another winner was Building-A
of the old high school, formerly the
administrative building. The Legis-
lature appropriated $347,882 for the
continued restoration of the historic
building.
In fact, of the several major pro-
jects the community was pursuing,
the one notable failure was the agri-
culture and community development
center, for which the community
was seeking $100,000.
Another disappointment was the
Governor's Rural Initiative, which
reportedly failed to pass at the last
minute. If approved, the Rural Ini-
tiative would have assured this
county of more than $500,000 in re-
curring funds annually.
A breakdown of the remaining al-
locations approved by the Legisla-
ture for Jefferson County: $76,408
for vocational rehabilitation; $1,096
for workforce education
performance-based incentives;
$191,794 for workforce education
program; $500,000 for adult com-

munity mental health services; and
$1,646,024 for the voluntary pre-
kindergarten program (to be shared

as well as Chris Doolin, with the
Small Counties Coalition.
The legislative committee was or-
ganized about three years ago with
the aim of better representing the
county's interests in the legislative
process. Since its formation, the
committee has worked diligently to
fulfill that purpose.
This year especially, the commit-
tee made a concerted effort to keep
the county's interests before law-
makers. This entailed meeting re-
peatedly with the lawmakers;
participating in functions that raised
the county's profile, such as the
Northwest Florida Legislative Day;
and bombarding lawmakers on a
daily basis with e-mails, phone calls
and personal visits whenever possi-
ble.
Among the state officials that
group met in its efforts to promote
the county were Gov. Jeb Bush and
Lt. Governor Toni Jennings. Mem-
bers also worked closely with the lo-
cal legislative delegation, which
consists of Senators Al Lawson and
Nancy Argenziano and State Repre-
sentatives Loranne Ausley and Will
Kendrick.

Congre.'ma3n Allen B,:,d v as
honored by Green Industries Insti-
tute, Monday, for his efforts in se-
curing federal funds for the
program last year.
Boyd secured an increase in
funding, $360,000 for the upcom-
ing fiscal year, to allow the institute
to enhance its video conferencing
capability. Last year, $280,000
was secured, the previous year,
$300,000.
Representatives from North Flor-
ida Community College, the
County School Board, and Green
Industries were on hand for a tree
planting ceremony in which a Pig-
nut Hickory tree was planted in
honor of Boyd for his support of
horticulture education and research
at the Green Institute.
Green Industries spokesperson
Gail Albritton said the planting of
the tree was to symbolize Boyd
watching the institute continue to
grow and blossom in the future, as
the tree did likewise.
NFCC President Morris Steen re-
ported that this year, 392 students
went through the program at the in-
stitute.
Boyd said the success of the insti-
tute was the result of a lot of hard
work and dedication from many
people. "The facility looks great
and I'm proud of what you have

done here," said Boyd.
A plaque placed in front of the
fresh\ planted tree reads, "Green
Industries Instiute appreciates the '
continued support of Congressman
Allen Boyd in the development of
our program."
Those attending the ceremony in-
cluded Superintendent Phil Barker,

Industry Gathering Focuses

On Rising Property Values
On Rising Property values

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

SAbout 35 realtors, bankers,.devel-
opers and others in associated indus-
tries gathered Tuesday morning at
the Opera House to hear Property
Appraiser David Ward talk about
land values and related issues.
The gathering, sponsored by At-
torney Teresa Cooper Ward, of At-
torneys' Title of North Florida Inc.,
Ss an indication of the growing vital-
ity of the real estate market here.
S"We're in a dynamic real estate
market," Property Appraiser David
SWard told the group in his opening
remarks. "Large investors from out-
side the state are looking at Jeffer-
son County and the Panhandle. In
fact, a lot of land prices today are
being investor driven."
S: Ward said many of the investors
were coming from places as far
Sway as Europe and California.
"They see the Panhandle as an un-
dervalued real estate market," he
said.
Properties that two and three years
ago were valued at $5,000 an acre
were now selling for $20,000 and
more an acre, Ward said. And prop-
erties that were selling for $2,000 an
acre a few years back were now
selling for $7,000 and more an acre.
"You're seeing a substantial in-
crease in property values," Ward
said.
He said the escalating prices were
uniform across the county, with a
gradation from west to east. Mean-

ACA Art Show I

FRAN HUNT
Staff Writer

More than 250 citizens attended
the Aucilla Christian Academy art
exhibit held at the Opera House,
Monday. *
The exhibit included the works
from approximately 30 students,
grades 9-12, from both the high
school art studio classes and the

ing that the closer the properties
were to the Tallahassee/Leon
County market, the higher their val-
ues.
One of the reasons for the get-
together, Ward said,'was that his of-
fice was seeking input on how it
could do a better job. One current
problem, he said, was that his office
assessed properties based on the ex-
isting situation on Jan. 1 of each
year.
If a property owner then sold the
property after Jan. 1, his office
wouldn't pick up the new owner un-
til the following year, Ward said.
Meaning that tax bills and related
correspondences would continue to
go to the original owner. *
This could create confusion, Ward
said, if the former owner didn't then
forward the information to the new
owner.
The same situation existed with
partial purchases, where an individ-
ual bought only a part of a property.
Until the transaction was picked up
the following Jan. 1, all paperwork
relating to the property would con-
tinue to go to the original owner, he
said.
"I don't want to over-dramatize
the problem," Ward said, "but
around March I get a dozen or so
people who come by and say they
didn't know about the taxes."
Among the possible solutions of-
fered were the ideas of mailing the
new owners a reminder or mailing
them a copy of the tax bill.
Another issues that came up was
the homestead exemption, in rela-

Draws 250
dual enrollment art classes.
More than 200 art works were on
display.
Many stopped to admire particu-
lar pieces of work, and some of-
fered to purchase works from the
students.
The exhibit featured pieces en--
tered earlier in the NFCC Spring
Arts Festival, many of which were
awarded ribbons during that event.

tion to heir properties. Ward said
one approach that he was taking was
to put gentle pressure on people to
probate their properties.
It bothered him, he said, to see
people lose their properties because
of simple inaction.
"I can think of one place that's
160 acres and worth three quarters
of a million," Ward said. "But if the
people do nothing, they will lose it.
I don't want to see this happen."

Teen Drivers Lack

Road Experience

If you want to pinpoint the reason
many young teens have serious
crashes, it can be summed up easily
inexperience.
Whether they are on their way to a
party, the mall or a friend's house,
teens may find themselves in driving
situations they aren't equipped to
handle yet.
Teenagers can become safer driv-
ers by developing more experience
and avoiding certain driving situa-
tions until they are better prepared
to handle them.
:Here are some specifics:
S* Develop the right attitude about
driving.' Many teen auto accidents
are a result of attitude and maturity.
Make a commitment to yourself to
practice a responsible attitude about
driving.
You're controlling over 3,000
pounds of fast-moving metal, and
cou ooe.ve -to-yourself, \our passen-
&ers and other'dri.vers to drive re-
sponsibly,
Get as much supervised practice
driving as possible. Your parents
,should take an active role in your
.practice driving. Make a firm sched-
:ule with them and stick to it. And
*keep:it up until you take your test to
Sget a license.
S* ALWAYS wear your safety belt.
Get into the habit of wearing your
'safety belt whenever you drive or
ride no exceptions.
Underage drinking and drug use
is illegal. Even if you've consumed
only one drink or smoked one joint,
There is a chemical effect on your
Brain that can impair judgment and
reaction time.
Driving under the influence of al-
s cohol, marijuana or other illegal
Drugs can cost you your license or
your life.
Limit your passengers. Your risk

of a fatal crash increases with every
additional passenger. When you're a
new driver, it's best to limit your
number of passengers.
Young.drivers should also:
Limit your night driving. Your
risk of a fatal crash is three times
higher at night than in the, day for
every mile driven. It is. better to
avoid nighttime driving until you're
comfortable driving during the day.
Keep it slow and safe for
starters. Fast-moving, high volumes
of traffic can make you feel uncom-
fortable, so avoid them until you can
get enough supervised driving expe-
rience.'
Then you can gradually introduce
more difficult driving situations, like
highway driving, merging off ramps
and driving in cities.
Train for poor weather condi-
tions. Even when you begin to feel
confident driving on dry pavement,
it's best to ` bvoid dri"vine iri bad
-weather -.conditions unsupervised.
Keep it simple at first, and get as
much supervised practice driving in
poor weather as you can before try-
ing it on your own.
Cell phones are for emergency
use only on the road. One of the
worst habits anyone can get into is
talking on a cell phone while
driving.
Keep a cell phone with you in the
..car for emergency situations only. If
you have to use a cell phone, pull
safely over to the side of the road.
Drive a safe vehicle. If you are
thinking of getting your own car,'
look for one with high safety
ratings.
Avoid small cars, trucks and sport
utility vehicles.
Check out federal statistics and
consumer report literature to help to
evaluate the safety rating of a car or
truck (NAPS)

Chemicals Can Help,

Hinder Our Health

SBY REX M. ROGERS

"Better living through chemistry"
Shas been one mantra of American
culture for at least a century. We've
found ways to ease headaches and
toothaches, destroy harmful germs
carrying disease throughout our
Bodies, and reduce pain and infec-
tion resulting from life-threatening
wounds.

Penicillin is one reason I am alive
today. Who want to reverse our
knowledge of lifesaving and life-
enhancing medicines?

Now we have drugs to help us lose
weight, Botox for reducing
wrinkles, Collagen to make our lips
sexier, Prozac if we are weary and
SValium if we, are hyper, and certain
drugs to extend our sex lives into
our 90s.

Since the '60s, we've also strug-
gled with chemicals that introduced
terms to our vocabularies like "psy-
chedelic," "junkie," "Crack," "Nar-
cus," and now "steroids." "Better
living through chemistry," we have
l- earned, is not always better.
Like all other life questions that

confront us, whether and how to use
chemicals is preceded by deeper
spiritual questions: Do we know
God and his purpose for our lives?
Are we trusting Him or looking to
chemicals and other surrogates to
fill the hole in our souls? Do we use
chemicals to glorify God or to fulfill
narcissistic yearnings?
In the Garden long ago, God
granted human beings the power of
reason and commanded us to use
that power to develop culture and
steward the earth and all that is
within it for His glory.
So, incredible advances in medical
science and technology are direct
descendants of that ancient divine
mandate. God also granted human-
ity the freedom and moral responsi-
bility to choose.

Other choices regarding the
chemicals we place in our bodies
should be determined by whether
the results would harm our beings,
and 'how the results will affect oth-
ers. Chemistry is a gift from God
that can be used wisely or waste-
fully.

author and president of cornerstone
University, Grand Rapids, Mich.)

U Short Takes & Other Notions

BY MERRY ANN FRISBY

I consider the paint on a house
like a haircut. If you don't like it,
just let it grow out. If you don't like
the color, you can always paint over.
Of course, I have seen a very,
young man in town has flowing long
green hair, so he will have a long

a pea soup green, the Parrott's is
light and dark blue, the Conner's is
lavender. We also have many
charming shades of gray and
gray/blue. I really like these bright
and colorful houses. They liven up
the whole 'Hood'.
My favorite color is the Morris
sea-foam green house. I just really
like the color. When I was a child I

lot of work, so I bet he won't
change it until he gets a girlfriend.
Have you ever noticed that all the
young men with really loud tailpipes
or really loud radios never have a
girl in the car?
The Madison Street neighborhood
where I live is becoming really
jazzy. The Davis/Graminski house is

recommend this form of.childish
adoration. You will get a real belly-
ache.
Lots of bellyaching at numerous
meetings concerning the growth in
our County. I think we have been
discovered.
I drove the country roads to visit a
friend and was surprised by the
large number of houses sprouting

up.
Naturally all of us who live here
have known what a great place this
is for a while. I say "thank you" to
all boards and folks who wrestle
with the planning problems. I am
certain if one thing, we do need to
plan.
Monticello has a great tolerance of
differences. I recall a man who used
to glue small plastic toys to his .car
and ride in,the Watermelon Parade.
What happened to him?
A succession of lawnmower trail-
ers announced they carried the
owner's "stuff."
There is some gentleman who
drives a black truck. On the hood he
has painted "Peaceful as Doves"
which never fails to make me smile.
Less peaceful are some large trucks
that roar through our town.

I have noticed something. Without
exception, all the truckers, who
drive these roaring menacing beasts,
have lots of hair sprouting out of
their noses, ears and the like.
The polite truck drivers are clean-
shaven and neat looking.
I have come to think of the former
drivers as chia truckers. Take a look
while you are walking around town
and see if you can confirm my ob-
servations.,
SHubby started swimming in our
pool this week. I watched him wade
in and when the 67-degree water got
to his chest, his heart told his legs
"Don't do it!" He got out and
jumped in.
We all have troubles in life and it
occurred to me that when our hearts
tell our legs not to move, sometimes
we just need to jump in.

New Forecasts Help Farmers

Farmers in the Southeastern
United States can now leam about
changes in seasonal climate patterns
earlier than ever, thanks to a new
long-term forecasting system devel-
oped by the Southeast Climate Con-
sortium (SECC), a partnership
among six universities in Alabama,
Florida and Georgia.
SECC researchers are using data
that has been collected daily for the
past 50 years from 214 weather sta-
tions in Alabama, Florida and Geor-
gia to make county-by-county fore-
casts that farmers can view on the
Internet. The SECC, which produces
its forecasts at Florida State Univer-
sity in Tallahassee, has issued the
first in a series of quarterly forecasts
aimed at helping farmers reduce
risks to their crops and increase their
odds of a successful growing
season.
The SECC's new spring outlook
indicates that unseasonably heavy
rain in March has recharged soil
moisture, thereby allowing crops to
flourish.

"March rainfall was up to three
times above normal in Georgia,"
said David Stooksbury, a SECC re-
searcher and state climateologist at
the University of Georgia in Athens.
"By the middle of April, soil mois-
ture across most of Georgia is
ranked near the 80th percentile for
this time of the year. This means
that in 80 out of 100 years we would
expect soils to be drier in mid-April
than they currently are."
Recent heavy rains have also re-
duced the risk of wildfires this sea-
son, the SECC spring outlook said.
The outlook is based on the Keetch
Byram Drought Index, which pro-
vides a monthly assessment of wild-
fire risks in the Southeast.
"The SECC approach to forecast-
ing is based on climate phases and
wbrks great during an El Nino or a
La Nina phase, but it's less useful
during what's called a neutral
phase," Stooksbury said.
"For the past two years the South-
east has been in a neutral phase,"
said Jim O'Brien, director of the

Center for Ocean-Atmosphere Pre-.
diction Studies at FSU. "People of-
ten assume that a neutral phase will
bring average weather."
'But, he said, that's not true.
"Weather can be all over the place -
from dry to wet or average in a
neutral phase. Still, there's currently
no indication of drought this sum-
mer, so chances are good that crops
will have adequate moisture," he
said.
Stooksbury also said that, with the
variability associated with day-to-
day weather during the neutral
phase, a cold spell or two is still
possible across much of the South-
east.
SECC's Web site,
http://agclimate.org, is available to
the public and provides monthly
forecasts of rainfall and temperature
for all counties in Alabama, Florida
and Georgia.
It also allows farmers in some
counties to get personalized predic-
tions of the probability that their
yields for peanuts, potatoes and to-

matoes will be good, average or
poor. Users can tailor their crop
yield forecasts based on the soil type
of their land, whether or not they ir-
rigate ad their average yield in the
past.
The Web site's highly specific
forecasts are important because
what a producer is experiencing fre-
quently is quite different than what's
happening in neighboring counties,
said John Bellow an SECC exten-
sion specialist at FSU.
"We hope that more growers will
use our Web site when their planting
and harvesting, and prepare for
freezes," said Clyde Fraisse, an ex-
tension specialist and SECC re-
searcher at the University of
Florida's Institute of Food and Agri-
cultural Sciences, or UF/IFQAS, in
Gainesville.
Jim Jones, a distinguished profes-
sor of agricultural and biological en-
gineering at UF/IFAS and SECC
researcher, said additional crop data
is being added to the site to help
farmers.

Cocaine Exposure Hurts Fetus

Children exposed to cocaine be-
fore birth show subtle but discerni-
ble differences in their ability to
plan and problem-solve once they
reach school age, University of Flor-
ida researchers report.
Still, most fare far better in the
first few years after birth than many
experts once predicted, contradict-
ing the notion that as a rule,
cocaine-exposed infants would be
born with devastating birth defects
or miss major developmental mile-
stones.
"I think the early information we
had was that these children might be
irreversibly damaged that they

would potentially have lots of prob-
lems in school, that they might have
lots of behavior problems, that they
might have problems thinking and
learning," said UF neonatologist
Marylou Behnke, M.D.
Instead, UF researchers write in
the April online issue of Journal of
Pediatric Psychology, prenatal co-
caine exposure is linked to smaller
head circumference at birth and to
less optimal home environments,
which in turn have direct yet mild
effects on developmental outcome at
3 years of age. Those effects persist
at ages 5 and 7, once more demands
are placed on the children during the

formal school years, according to re-
lated findings the researchers pre-
sented at the recent annual meeting
of the Society for Research in Child
Development.
"We have found that at age 3, the
more cocaine the child was exposed
to, the smaller the head circumfer-
ence at birth, the worse the develop-
ment or cognitive outcomes," said
Behnke, adding that head circumfer-
ence at birth is an important meas-
ure because generally the head
grows as brain size increases. "So
cocaine is not directly affecting out-
come, but it affects this intermediary
measure that we're looking at that

then goes on to affect outcome. We
think that head circumference may
be some sort of a marker for what is
going on in the prenatal environ-
ment, that it's a proxy marker for
other things."
Each year, about 45,000 infants
who were exposed to cocaine in the
womb are bor, according to the
National Institute on Drug Abuse.
When the dangers of prenatal co-
caine exposure first grabbed head-
lines in the mid-1980s, no studies
had followed children beyond in-
fancy. UF researchers began study-

Resident Tells How Doing

Something Nice Pays Off

Dear Editor:
; My husband, while busy with the
unending job of renovating and
maintaining our bed and breakfast
and restaurant, The Cottage, became
disgusted with the condition of the
trash can area, and decided to do
something about it.

He was considering that morning
all the people and lives that are in-
volved with the things we take for
granted, such as having produce,
clean water and even trash pickup.
He decided he'd do somehting for
us that was also a little "thank you"
for the sanitation workers.

He made a little "home" for our
garbage cans and those of our
neighbor, a day care center.
It is really beautiful, and keeps the
cans and bags in place behind a
door, away from animals, and out of
the rain, making them neater, and he
hoped more pleasant for the city

ing crack and cocaine users and
their offspring about 13 years ago,
launching a study funded by the Na-
tional Institute on Drug Abuse that
assesses physical and developmental
outcomes among 300 children from
birth on. Half the study participants
were exposed to cocaine in utero,
half were not; all were from rural ar-
eas of north Central Florida.
Average daily cocaine use among
the 154 mothers who used drugs
throughout pregnancy was $32.70,
the cost equivalent of approximately
three rocks of crack cocaine. Of that
group, one quarter were considered
"heavy users."
"We have found in our develop-
ment studies of our newborns that
there were some subtle differences
between the groups, not the kind of
thing that moms and dads would no-
tice particularly, not the. kinds of
things' that family members might
. suspect if they saw the-baby," said
Behnke, a professor of pediatrics at
UF's College of Medicine. "As the
children have started to get older,
we have begun to see a few more
subtle effects, so by the time they
were at six months, we could see
some effect of cocaine on their de-
velopmental processes, but again,
we're not talking about dramatic ef-
fects. And asthey moved on to age
3, we began to see even more
effects."' :' : ,
Cocaine-exposed childreri %re
aissets'ed' a't g'gtn part'bj u'sig the
standardized assessment known as
the Bayley Scales of Infant Devel-
ojment, which assesses a child's
ability to perform age-appropriate
functions such as following simple
directions and completing puzzles
and other problemn-solving tasks. At'
5 and 7, more extensive neuropsy-
chological and intelligence testing
was done.
"Some kids just have trouble get-
ting going, getting started and once,

they get going they do a little
better," said co-researcher Fonda
Davis Eyler, a UF professor of pedi-
atrics. "Others have trouble main-
taining their attention and they re-
spond to other cues and not what
they're supposed to be targeting on
and doing, or they only have simple
strategies, not more complex ones."
The quality of the home environ-
ment was even more likely than
smaller head size 'to influence out-
come, Eyler said. UF researchers
have analyzed measures of depres-
sion and self-esteem among caregiv-
ers and studied their views on par-
enting and child development. Chil-
dren living in nurturing environ-
ments with supportive, competent
caregivers scored higher on devel-
opmental measures, even when they
had been exposed to cocaine before
birth.
The children participating in the-
study are now entering the preteen
years. As their academic responsi-
bilities and social pressure increase,
other, more serious effects may sur-
face, Eyler said. Meanwhile, re-
searchers are increasingly able to re-
fine the tests they use to more pre-
cisely assess the children's progress,
homing in on the areas of the brain
more involved with planning and
thinking strategically the regions
that cocaine, in theory, would most
likely-affect. ; *:-
"''n this next arm of the stud'. all
will undergo'. intelligence and
achievements tests, including assess-
ments of language ability, attention,
problem-solving and abstract think-
ing, Eyler said. Researchers also
will ask the youngsters about their
attitudes, behavior, family relation-
ships and friendships. In addition,
they will assess the children's home
environment and interview their
caregivers and schoolteachers.
Deborah A. Frank, M.D., a profes-
sor of pediatrics at Boston Univer-

sity School of Medicine, said the UF
team's work will "do much to dispel
the inaccurate and hysterical predic-
tions that inaccurately stigmatize
children with intrauterine cocaine
exposure."
"This is an important contribution
to the field, since it thoughtfully ad-
dresses both biologic and social risk
factors, viewing intrauterine cocaine
exposure as only one of many possi-
ble influences on children," Frank
said. "The importance of positive
environmental characteristics in pro-
moting toddler development, regard-
less of intrauterine cocaine
exposure, is a crucial finding of this
work that can guide evidence-based
interventions for families.
"Although these findingsare reas-
suring, long term follow-up of this
sample will be important, since in-
trauterine exposures such as tobacco
and marijuana have been shown to
have 'sleeper' effects on develop-
ment that do not emerge until ado-
lescence." she added.

The Martin Luther King, Jr.,
Community Center Inc:, will host
the third annual Emancipation Day
activities and parade May 15 and
16.
Activities begin 5 p.m., Sunday,
with a pre-Emancipation program,
to be held at the Greater Fellowship
Church.
Spokesperson Mary Madison said
the purpose of the program was to
commemorate May 20, 1865, the
date slaves were freed, known as
Emancipation Day.
The parade and subsequent ac-
tivities begin 10 a.m., Monday, in
front of the Capital City Bank and
proceeds to the MLK Community
Center at 1420 First Street, east of

the Howard Middle School base-
ball field and behind the Jefferson
Arms Apartments.
The MLK Committee and mem-
bers continue to solicit individuals
and groups to walk or ride in the
parade and perform at the MLK
site.
"Our celebration of freedom must
remain forever in our community,"
added MLK Chairman Charles Par-
rish.
Madison said, "We are also ask-
ing your support by joining the
MLK group to help manifest The
Dream, the idealists of the past,
present and future have envisioned
for our community."
She also stated the Jefferson
County is the only one in the state
in which public schools are closed
in honor of the Emancipation, cele-
brated'this year on May 16.

A fairly long time passed after he
finished this project, but one day
there was a knock on our door.
A gentleman stood there, who said
in a friendly, outgoing way, that he
was our garbage man and he wanted
to say thanks for the nice garbage
area JM put in.
He said he really appreciated this.
In addition, he said that he was con-
sidering having a birthday party for
a friend, and wanted to find out our
prices.
As good as his word, he brought
back his wife, and they discussed
what they wanted with us.
We ended up hosting their dinner
party and just had a lovely time.
We consider them friends now,
and asked, since very few town folk
have ever come to eat at our place,
what was keeping people away.
The answer was that folks seemed
to be wanting to hear from someone
who'd eaten with us, how it was.
They promised to go and report to
all our neighbors how good it was
and encourage them to come and
dine with us.
When you go out of your way to
help others, they return the favor,
and we made some friends.
.We want to encourage all of you
to go out and do something nice for
the under appreciated, important
civic, county, state, and federal
workers, who make life, as we know
it, possible.
Even if you just say "thank you,"
go and thank them, or do something
nice for them.,

2 In January, Melissa Joiner, Linda
Long, and Diana \'right gave a "Ya
Ya Sisterhood Bridal Brunch" for
the bride at Julie's Place Restaurant
in Tallahassee.

Each guest was given a Ya Ya
name such as "Marchioness Danc-
ing Greek," which was the mother
of the bride's name and "Princess
Singing Cloud," which was the
bride's unmarried name.
Guests made Ya Ya hats for the
bride to wear to all her other events,
including the bachelorette party and
the rehearsal dinner.
In March, Janegale Boyd and
daughters and daughter-in-law Beth,
Erin, and Heather gave a Pampered
Bride Kitchen Shower at the Boyd
home, in Monticello.
The home was decorated with the
bride's colors of Seamist and Ivory.
Heather Boyd demonstrated a rec-
ipe for the bride to use later. Guests
brought their favorite recipes for the
bride to use in her new home, and
all signed an apron as a keepsake for
the bride.

In mid March, the bride's bridal
party and friends gave her a Bache-
lorette Party in Atlanta, GA. She
was coerced into wearing the Ya Ya
hat, and all had a wonderful time.
The theme for the weekend was
"The Burning Of Atlanta," which
was in keeping with the bride's Old
South theme for her wedding.
Later in March, on a Saturday eve-
ning, the bride and groom were
given a Jack and Jill Party at the
home of Steve and Evelyn Moldal in
Dunedin.
The home was decorated in an is-
land theme, since the bride and
groom plan to honeymoon in the
Caribbean. Jerk chicken and other
island fare were served.
In April, Kara and Marcia Thorn-
berry gave an afternoon Lingerie
Shower at the Thorberry home in
Tallahassee.
The beautiful Old South home was
decorated in the bride's chosen col-
ors. Guests were served appetizers
including fried green tomatoes, iced
tea, and cobbler.

How'

The best thing about this si
that you don't have to do it
simply have to try.

YOUR

DRUGS.

subject
t well.

is
You

If you try, your kids will get the
message.
That you care about them.
That you understand something
about the conflicts they face.
That you're there when they
need you.

It's never

The alternative is to ignore the subject.
Which means your kids are going to be listening
to others who have strong opinions about the
subject. Including those who use drugs. And
those who sell them.
ACCEPT REBELLION.
At the heart of it, drugs, alcohol, wild
hairstyles, trendy clothes, ear-splitting music, ,
outrageous language ,are different ways of ; :
expressing teen-age rebellion.
That's not all bad. Part of growing up is to
create a separate identity, apart from parents a
process which ultimately leads to feelings of self
worth. A step alorg that path is rebellion of one
kind or another which is to say rejecting
parental values, and staking out new ones.
You did it. They're doing it. And that's the
way it is.
The problem comes when kids choose a path
of rebellion that hurts them, destroys their self
worth, and can ultimately kill them.
That's the reality of drugs.
DON'T GET DISCOURAGED.
When you talk to your kids about drugs, it may
seem as though nothing is getting through.
Don't you believe it.
.The very fact you say it gives special weight to
whatever you say.
But whether or not your kids let on they've
heard you, whether or not they play back your
words weeks or months later, keep trying.
START ANYWHERE.
"Have you heard about any kids using drugs?"
"What kind of drugs?"
"How do you feel about that?"

"Why do you think kids get
involved with drugs?".
"How do other kids deal withpeer
Pressure to use drugs? Which ap-
proaches make sense to you?"
"Hav you talked about any of this
in school?"
However you get into the subject,
too early to start. it's important to state exactly how
strongly you feel about it.
Not in threatening tones. But in matter-of-
fact, unmistakably clear language:
"Drugs are a way of hurting yourself."
"Drugs take all the promise of being young
and destroy it."
"I love you too much to see you throw your
life down the drain."
.SOME DOd'S-D DDON'TS. ..
The o s are as simple as speaking from the
heart.
The biggest don't is don't do all the talking.
SIf you listen to your kids really listen and read
between the lines you'll learn a lot about what
they think. About drugs. About themselves.
About the world. And about you. They'll also
feel.heard and that, too, is a step along the path
Stewards self esteem.
There are other do's and don't: Don't threat-
en. Don't badger them. Don't put your kid on
the spot by asking directly if he or she has ever
tried drugs. They'll probably lie which under-
mines your whole conversation.
If you suspect your child is on drugs there
are all sorts of symptoms that's a different
Smatter. Then you've got to confront the subject
Directly. (This willbe another ad in this contin-
Suing series.)
S In the meantime, just talk to them.
It's okay if you don't know much about drugs.
Your kids do.
But they need to know how you feel about
the subject.
And whether you care.
For more information on how to talk with your kids
about drugs, ask for a free copy of "A Parent's Guide to
Prevention." Call 1-800-624-0100.

Extension Agent Copeland

Explains New Food

FRAN HUNT
itaff Writer

Family and Consumer sciences
Extension Agent Heidi Copeland
coinments about the new Food
Pyramid, unveiled-April 19.
The new pyramid is designed to
approach healthy eating by consid-
ering individual needs, while add-
ing a visual reminder to include
physical activity.
Activity, moderation, personal-
ization, proportionality, variety and
gradual improvements are high-
lighted in the new design.
'Copeland explained that variety
is' symbolized by the six color
bands representing the five food
groups of the pyramid and oils.

Foods from all groups are needed
each day for'good health. From
left to right, grains are symbolized

by the color orange; vegetables,
green; fruits, red; oils, yellow;
milk, blue; and meat and beans, by
purple.
Proportionality is shown on the
new pyramid, by the varying
widths of the food group bands
around the pyramid.

The width of the bands suggest
how much food a person should
chose from each group.

Moderation is represented on the
new pyramid in the narrowing of
each food group from bottom to
top.
The wider base represents foods
with little or no solid fats or added
sugars. These foods should be se-
lected more often.

The narrower areas represent
foods containing more sugars and
added solid fats.

Pyramid
"An easy way to think about this
is the more you process most
foods, the higher up on the pyramid
you go.
"An ear of fresh corn would be at
the bottom. Processing that corn
into a corn chip rises towards the
top of the pyramid," said Copeland.
Personalization is illustrated on
the pyramid by the person walking
up the steps.
The new pyramid web site offers
12 different calorie levels for males
and females, ages two to 76 plus,
with activity levels ranging from
sedentary, moderately active and
active.
Copeland stated that the USDA
recognizes that no one can make
the changes in diet and activity pat-
terns overnight but, maybe the new
graphic will be a symbolic re-
minder to help consumers make a
gradual improvement in their diets
and add physical activity to each
day.

Resident Certified Gopher

Tortoise Residential

FRAN HUNT
Staff Writer

Local resident Martha Canady
has recently completed the training
and became certified as a Gopher
Tortoise Residential Expert
(GTRE).
She said her interest was sparked
because Gopher;'-Trtoises have
lived on her land for the past 25
years and she justr-wanted to "Get
to know more- about, my
neighbors."
Canady said that by state law, it
is illegal to even touch a' Gopher
Tortoise, even if it resides on your
land.
"I also learned that before one
can be relocated, it has to have its
blood tested because they carry an
upper respiratory virus and bacteria'
tha can be spread to other Gopher
Tortoises in the area."'- t' "' .i:'
Canady said it is no easy or inex-
pensive task to have a Gopher Tor-
toise relocated. -The procedure in-
cludes time, expense, an experi-
enced back-hoe operator, a trapper,
and a consultant, nobito mention the
biggest danger of rdljatinig a Go-.
pher Tortoise, is the risk of rattle
snake bite. ,

Canady explained that Gopher
Tortoises reside in what is called
the chamber, a big hole bedded
with leaves, usually right at the wa-
ter table.
She added that they like heavy
sandy areas in open ground and
they alternate their grazing habits
throughout the Near They seem to
prefer Bahaya grass, St. Augustine
grass, new grass, new spouts and
new growth.
Canady said that turtles, espe-
cially box turtles, are being ex-
ploited for their livers. "It's part of
the Oriental liver trade," said Ca-
nady. "The livers are packed in al-
cohol and sent to China for use as
aphrodisiacs.
During the class, Canady also
learned how to draw blood samples
.,fropn the tortoises ,"Someone has
to hold .he runle-dsin, then. you
have,tg pujJ put his, left fr:ni foot.
It is exceptionally hard because
they do put up a fight. Just above
the tendon is the vein from which
to draw the blood."
Canady also learned how to con-
duct a transect (mathematical for-
mula to determine how many
Gopher Tortoises reside' in a spe-
cific area) on her property. "I want

Expert
to find how many I have according
to the State Formula," said Canady.
She said that she would,
however, require some assistance
to do the transect and she would be
more than willing to teach others
how to assist her.
"I plan to take more Ray Ashton
Courses over the course of the next
year," said Canady. "I took this one
specifically as a land owner. If I'm
going to keep living with them, I
need to be informed and educated
about how to take care of my Go-
phers, keep then happy and keep
them there.
Canady said that she counted 64
on her land last year, and she has
only counted 37 this year that are
active.
Gopher tortoises can live more
than 60 years.
The main reason for the decline
of the species are habitat alteration
and land development.
Other cited reasons include: for-
estry practices that plant pines too
closely., preventing sunlight from
penetrating to the forest floor, dis-
ease, road mortality and the illegal
hunting of tortoises for their meat.
To volunteer to help Canady in
performing a transect, call 997-
2087.

James Brown. She will begin her studies in June

University where she will study pre- apartment off campus for the fall
law, concentrating on Multi Na- semester.

RAY CICHON
Managing Editor

Jefferson County High School-
Class of 2005 Salutatorian is Re-
becca Redmond.
She is the daughter of Steve and
Bonita Redmond.
She will matriculate at Florida
State University, where she will
study engineering, though she re-
mains undecided as to the kind of
engineering.
Redmond is a Florida Academic
Scholar.
While at JCHS, she was active in
the Key Club, Science Club, Na-
tional Honor Society, Co-Captain of
the Academic Team, Editor of the
Yearbook, and a member of the Fire
Explorer Club.
Redmond will share housing off
campus with older girls who are
FSU students, including 2003 JCHS
Graduate Sarah Halsey, who will
help her learn the art of independent
living, she said.

She credits Science Teacher Mike
Starling and Math Teacher Eliza-
beth Coon for encouraging her to
study engineering, given her apti-
tude for math and science.
Her advice for one striving to be--
come a salutatorian is to care about
your work, maintain interest, and
concentrate on quality.

She explained that rather than be
spread too thin, she would rather
take a reasonable number of classes
and give them all the effort required
to do well.
"Time management and learning
to become a well rounded person is
an important part of growing up,"
she believes.

DEBBIE SNAPP
Staff Writer

The 4-H County Council worked
on improving the Nature Trail at
Jefferson Elementary School, re-
cently.
Council members spent most of
the day clearing bush, cutting down
trees, putting down mulch, and pick-
ing up paper and trash.
The trail is designed to provide
-hands-on activities for youth to par-

ticipate in environmental education
programs, such as tree
identification, orienteering, forest
ecology, nature photography, study-
-ing invasive .plants, and wildlife
identification.
Participaing teams include: Che-
varra Ulee, Michelle Keaton, Char-
les Taylor, Kelly Hill, Kevin Hill,
Alana Chambers, and Alex Farmer.
"These 4-Hers did an outstanding
job preserving the nature trail," re-
marked John Lilly, county 4-H co-
ordinator.

Brown is a Bright Futures Scholar
and has accrued some 30 dual en-
rollment credits at NFCC.
While at JCHS, she was active in
cheerleading, FBLA, 4-H, a county
representative for SWAT, Boys,
Girls Club, and Student
Government.
She was also active in CROP, Co-
captain of the Academic Team, Sci-
ence Club, National Honor Society,
and Phi Theta Kappa.
Brown was Vice-president of her
Jr. and Sr. classes and Class Presi-
dent her freshman and sophomore
years.
While at JCHS, Brown was influ-
enced by Instructor Howard Marx,
whom she said "adopted" her in
grade 9.
His is a teacher and a friend, and it
was his Law Studies class that .in-
spired her to become an attorney.
"He is honest, and knows how to
relate to young people. He will tell
you the truth, even when you don't
want to hear it," she said.
Her hobbies include: reading,
writing in her journal and poetry,
dance talking on the phone, and
shopping.
She has done modeling since the
eight grade for Barbison and other
agencies.

My granddaughter means the
world to me. So I'm controlling
my diabetes. That means I
keep my blood sugar close to
normal by watching what I eat
and walking every day. I
always take my medicine and
test my blood sugar.

With my diabetes under
control, I feel a lot better
and have more energy. Best
of all, I'm going to be
around for my family...
for my friends... for life.
