Sponsors Say Kickoff

Dinner Great Success

DEBBIE SNAPP
Staff Writer

The 55th Watermelon Festival
Dinner and Program, held at the Op-
era House on Friday night, is re-
ported to have been a real success.
Sponsors report that some 310
dinner tickets were collected during
the affair, and more tickets were ac-
tually sold. The Monticello/Jeffer-
son County Chamber of Commerce
called it a great start in its fundrais-
ing efforts.
Chamber members collaborated in
the preparations for the meal, with
Chamber Director Mary Frances
Drawdy orchestrating the different
activities.
Frank Stone, with Robert's Cater-
ing, spent the better part of the day
grilling the chicken, while the other
members worked over hot stoves in
the kitchen to get the rest of the
meal together.
Chamber members also prepared
the desserts, which were displayed
on a separate table for the patrons to
select.
The meal, like the desserts, were
made to perfection, judging from the
expressions on the faces of the din-
ers.
The serving line went out the door
at times, but no one seemed to mind.
The majority of meals served were
for dine-in. The evening was busy
with friends and neighbors visiting

with one another.
The band, US 19 SOUTH, was set
up at one end of the Opera House
and played throughout the meal and
into the evening. Because of the
threat of rain, they did not play in
the garden area. Nonetheless, the
dance area in front of the band was
full at all times, with both dancers
and listeners enjoying the evening
and the tunes.
The talented members of the band
were Charles Bryan, rhythm guitar;
Bryan Freeland, lead guitar; Brett
Kelly, lead vocals; Heath Bass,
drums; and Jason Freeland, bass
guitar.
Queen Pageant contestants, mean-
while, sold door prize tickets to the
diners as they entered the Opera
House. The ticket sellers were hard
to resist, with their big smiles and
cheerful dispositions.
Another area of the Opera House
was set up to display the door prizes
donated by area businesses. Donors
were Jackson's Drug Store, Southern
Friends, Great Adventure Outfitters,
Monticello Florist & Gifts, Coldwell
Banker Kelly & Kelly Properties,
Snapdragon, Imagine Interiors, Gel-
ling's Florist, Ted's Barber Shop,
Milady's Shop, Jefferson Builders
Mart & Hardware, Buddy's Home
Furnishing, HuckleBerry's
Creations, and Monticello Trading
Company, LLC.
Cindy and Don Lee won the grand
prize, a state-of-the-art 27-inch

Sanyo color television donated by
Buddy's Home Furnishing. The Lees
also won five other prizes during the
evening. Not bad, considering they
purchased six tickets for $5.
Co-Chairs Betsy Gray and Mary
Frances Drawdy started the evening
with the introduction of the 2005
Watermelon Festival booklet cover
winner, Jessica Hagan. For her
beautiful artwork on the booklet
cover, Hagan received a Savings
Bond and a Festival T-shirt. She is a
sixth grader at Aucilla Christian
Academy.
Second and third-place winners
were respectively Kaitlin Jackson
and Cheyenne Adams, also students
at ACA. Both received Festival T-
shirts for their artwork and efforts.
Gray and Drawdy next introduced
the chairs for the Little King and
Queen Pageant and the Princess
Pageant: Lauren Blank, Nicole Hon-
cell, Christy Clark, and Leslie Ra-
bon.
Gray and Drawdy also introduced
the chairs of the Queen Pageant: Ro-
slyn Bass, Ginnie Joyner and Linsey
Taylor. The chair people for the dif-
ferent events in turn introduced their
contestants for this year's pageants,
as well as last year's winners.
Sponsors for the band were Jack-
son's Drug Store, Great Adventure
Outfitters, Monticello Florist &
Gifts, Coldwell Banker Kelly &
Kelly Properties, Edenfield Hard-
ware, State Farm Insurance Tommy
Surles, and Judge Bobby Plaines.

meanwhile, performed a 1950s
dance routine to the song
"Lollipop", which caused the audi-
ence to erupt in applause.
Megan Lee next opened the talent
segment of the pageant for the Wa-
termelon Princess contestants. Lee
performed a dance routine to
"Happy Face" by Destiny's Child.
She wore a gray capris and a tank
top with a ball cap, her moves re-
sembling the athletics of a cheer-
leader.
Jackson performed a dance routine
to "Dude Looks Like a Lady" by
Aerosmith. She wore a royal blue
velvet one-piece outfit with a se-
quined top. Her dance was rhythmic
and creative.
Thor performed a dance routine to

"Do You Love Me" and "Soul
Man". She was dressed with a se-
quined derby and a black dance leo-
tard with a sequined top. Her routine
focused on dance moves of the 50s,
including the Mashed Potato, the
Twist, and the Funky Chicken.
Jessika Prevatt sang, "Who I Am'
by Jessica Andrews. She wore a
lime green sequined dress with 'a
pixie cut, a flared skirt and a halter
strap top.
Lisa Kisamore sang, "When I
Think of Angels" by Tamie O'Neal,
which she dedicated to her late un-
cle. She wore a white slant cut hem
dress with a large charm belt and a
white blouse.
Revell performed a piano solo ti-
tled "Over The Rainbow". She wore
a well-fitted black dress with a
rhinestone necklace.

Gerry Medical Center Wins

Melon Festival Bed
station was: "Would it be the Ki-
FRAN HUNT wanians again this year or will
Staff Writer Rotary reclaim the trophy?."
For whatever reason, only three
Gerry Medical Center won the beds were entered in the contest,

fourth annual Watermelon Fetival
Bed Race, Thursday, earning the
coveted "Bragging Rights Traveling
Trophy."
Shortly before the race was sched-
uled to begin, people began to line
the streets, despite the heavy threat
of rain. The major topic of conver-_

compared to seven beds last year,
but that didn't halt the action.
Entrants were: Gerry Medical,
Kiwanis, and Rotary Clubs.
Spokesperson Jan Rickey said all
were good, strong competitors.
Coordinators decided to run all
of the beds at. the same time, and the

Race
teams lined up on the starting line.
Kiwanis bolted out to a hefty lead
with Gerry Medical close behind.
In contrast, Rotary maintained a
slow trot, far behind the other teams.
During the turn, the distance be-
tween Gerry Medical and Kiwanis
closed, with Kiwanis still in the
lead.
Rotary was far in the rear, about
half way to the turn.
Chants and cheering came from
the crowd: "Come on Rotary, step

m4 a

13.4

on the gas! Come on Gerry, floor it!
Come on Kiwanis, put the pedal to
the metal!"
Gerry continued to close the gap
coming up the hill, inching closer,
and soon they was neck and neck,
with Kiwanis, both pushing mightly
to the finish line
Just a few feet from the finish,
Gerry went into overdrive to bolt
forward and cross the line.
Moments later, Rotary crossed the
line, quipping, "Where's the
ribbon?"
On the Gerry medical team were J.
A. Davis, riding, and pushers Ste-
phen Demott and J. T. Brown.
Kiwanians Doug Wainright and
Tim Thompson were pushers and
Jane Vollertsen, rider.'
On the Rotary team, pushing were
Bobby Plaines and Mike Humphry,
land riding was Bill Beaty.
None of the three contestants had
decorated their beds for the race, so
there' was no "Best Dressed Bed"
award this year.
The proceeds of nearly $75, will
be donated to the Humane Society,
charity of Gerry Medical's choice.

Opinion & Comment

Even when school is out, the op-
portunity to learn is always
available. Especially since your chil-
dren follow your example.
That's why the American Heart
Association recommends that par-
erits take time to establish smart and
healthy lifestyle habits your kids
will have for life.
Nutritionists say it can be easy for
school-aged kids to learn healthy
eating habits.
In fact, studies show that healthy
habits established early in life tend
to; remain with people well into their
adult years. The American Heart
Association offers tips that parents
can use year-round.
First, be active with your family.
Go for walks. Enjoy a bike ride.
Toss a ball during a backyard
picnic. Not only will you share extra
playtime with the kids, but physical.
activity is a fun way to burn extra
calories, stay fit and maintain a
healthy heart!
Second, pack your and your chil-
dren's lunches with nutritious, low-
fat, low-cholesterol foods like:
Low or nonfat dairy products
such as skim milk and low-fat string
cheese;
Sandwiches made with whole-
grain breads and extra-lean meats or
fish;

Low-fat condiments such as
mustard instead of mayonnaise;
Fresh fruits and vegetables such
as apples and oranges, carrots, and
celery;
Baked pretzels, baked tortilla
chips and salsa, and low-fat yogurts
for tasty treats.
Third, look for the American
Heart Association's heart-check
mark while grocery shopping. The
distinctive red heart with a white
check markon food labels from the
association's Good Certification
Program helps you quickly and re-
liably find healthy foods that can be
part of a sensible eating plan.
Food packages bearing the simple
logo have been evaluated to ensure
they meet the American Heart Asso-
ciation's criteria for heart-healthy
levels of saturated fat and choles-
terol for healthy people over the age
2.
For even more convenience, use
the association online Grocery List
Builder to create, print and take
your heart-healthy shopping list
with you to the store. (Your kids
might enjoy building their own spe-
cial list!).
The Web site features a complete
list of certified foods. Log on to
heartcheckmark.org. It's a great way
to shop smart and fast! (NAPS).

'Ditzy Stage' Was Left Behind

She was a fairly bright person, as I
recall, but she had problems with the
little things. Let's call her Sally for
the sake of this column.,
Sally was a reporter working here
a number of years ago. She was well
educated, a good writer, and had the
proverbial nose for news. Pretty
good so far, huh?
One morning Sally came to the of-
fice and announced "you can't get
off I-10 until you come to an exit!"
We all kind of looked at her in
disbelief and nobody said anything.
After all, what could you say?
But, from that day forward Sally
attracted quizzical glances as, she'd
let loose with a no-brainer now and
then.
I recall giving her an assignment!,
in writing carefully giving the first
and last name of the person to be
contacted.
I wrote, "please call John Smith
(not his real name) and ask him
about such and such."
She came to my desk later carry-

Publisher's

Notebook |'
__________,',

ing the phone book and said she
couldn't find John Smith under the
J's. I told her that's because the
man's last name was Smith and that
wouldn't be located under the J's.
Fact is. I felt rather bad saying that
because it made her sound dumb.
She was not deterred and replied,
"My phone book must be organized
differently from yours."
I said nothing as I looked up the
number for her.
Despite her peculiarities, every-

body liked Sally.
A few weeks went by and I
guessed Sally was getting off I-10
okay and finding numbers in the
phone book when she cut loose with
another no-biaincri ,Iai'had the of-
fice roaring _.
She arrived for work one day with
a hubcap in her- hand and asked if
the car would run without it.
We assured her the hubcap had lit-
tle to do with how well her car ran.
Sally seemed relieved.

Several months passed and Sally
got an offer to move down state and "
write for a large publication. We
were pleased for her and wished her
well. "
I saw Sally one more time when .
we ran into each other at a press
convention in Orlando.
She was in the company of media -.
mogul and looked terrific. Her hair
was smartly styled and she was .
wearing a beautiful dress.
I asked how things were going for
her and she said, "never better."
We reminisced about her work at
this newspaper and she told me she
learned a lot here.
I was careful not to mention the
no-brainer episodes but she tackled
them head-on.
'' "Do y6u reWember-whin I could- 7
n't figure out how to get off 1-10,"'
she asked?
I told her I did.
"Well, I'm doing much better 3
now," she said. "I'm through with.
that ditzy stage and moving on."
I told her I was glad for her.

500 Words or Less
P.O. Box 428
Monticello, FL 32345

BY PEYTON KNIGHT
Columnist

America's park system is in trou-
ble. Our nation's 388 national parks,
historic sites, battlefields,
landmarks, lake shores, recreation
areas, scenic rivers and trails have
an estimated collective maintenance
backlog of between $4.1 and $6.8
billion.
That's almost $18 million per en-
tity. Yet as this crisis continues to
snowball, Congress has not done
enough to strike at the heart of the
problem.
Will our national parks 'survive for
future generations? The answer is
simply "no", unless Congress acts
responsibly and reins in the raven-
ous appetite of the National Park
Service (NPS) and federal land ac-
quisition programs.
The federal government currently
owns almost one-third of America's
total land mass. NPS is assigned to
caring for much of this property. It
clearly can't handle its current re-
sponsibility. How on Earth does it
make sense to give it more?

,In order to solve this crisis, Con-
gress must make a sincere commit-
ment to curb all future NPS pro-
gramming and acquisitions, and
scale back expansion plans already.
in the pipeline that will only add
more fuel to the backlog fire.
You can't simply pledge more
funding at one end, and continue
with out-of-control expansion at the
other end. This only exacerbates the
problem.
In the private sector, businesses
must consider expansion carefully,
lest they find their resources over-
drawn and succumb to implosion
and bankruptcy.
In the world of the federal govern-
minent, agencies such as the National
*Park Service seek an infinite expan-
sion of their nefdom, and all too of-
ten Congress rubber-stamps these
requests with little regard for practi-
calities such as available resources
or funding.

This reckless expansion threatens
the future of our nation's national
park system and undermines the
ability of the agency to meet its

commitments to future generations.
According to the National Parks
Conservation Association, public
safety and public access rank high
among the casualties of our over-*
drawn Park Service.
Yosemite National Park in Cali-
fornia desperately needs everything
from trail and campground mainte-
nance to a new sewer system and
electrical upgrades.
Yellowstone National Park has de-
crepit buildings and over 150 miles
of roads that need repair.
In Mount Rainier National Park in
Washington, travel to back country
cabins is impossible because of ne-
glected bridges and trails.
The foundation of the visitor cen-
ter at the USS Arizona Memorial in
Hawaii is crumbling and literally
sinking into the ground. Ancient
stone structures are collapsing at
Chaco Culture National Historical
Park in New Mexico.
In Gettysburg National Military
Park, many historic structures need
rehabilitation and a failing water
line needs to be repaired.
When public access to parks isn't
taking a back-seat to scarce re-

sources, the Park Service is actually
spending money to shut people out.
; The Park Service's "Yosemite
Valley Plan" would cost close to a
half-billion dollars and would actu-
ally reduce the number of parking
spaces in Yosemite Valley by two-
thirds.

Instead of being able to leisurely
enjoy the sights and wonders of Yo-
semite, this grand plan calls for park
patrons to be herded onto a fleet of
buses and shuffled through the park
on the Park Service's schedule.

Under the plan, hundreds of camp-
sites that were destroyed in a 1997
flood would not be replaced, and
nearly 60 percent of the Park's re- .
maining campsites accessible by car
would be removed.

The National Park Service is
quickly earning the moniker of our
nation's slumlord and Congress' re-
sponse should not be to reward NPS
with more property and more pro-
gramming.
Rather, Congress should seek to
scale back the Park Service's duties
until a manageable level is attained.

Retirees Face Income. Test

Experts say many Americans may
be in for a rude awakening when it
comes time to retire. The problem is
that the majority of Americans do
not have a plan that takes them from
saving for retirement to living in re-
tirement.
According to research done by the
financial services company ING,
two-thirds of Americans do not
know how much income they will
need to live on during retirement,
nor do they have a plan for "paying
themselves" once they stop working.
For example, industry data indi-
cate that baby boomers now have a
50-50 chance of living past age 90

but most do hot have a plan in place
to ensure adequate income for 25 or
more years in retirement.
Plus, many people have yet to ac-
cept the fact that the retirement rules
have changed and retirees alone are
personally responsible for managing
their retirement income.
In addition, the research indicates
that most do not understand the fi-
nancial risks of retirement either,
such as investment risk, inflation
risk and longevity risk.
ING refers to this critical double
threat of retirees not knowing how
much money they will need where it
will come from as "America's In-

come Challenge."
Fortunately, there are a number of
things that retirees and future retir-
ees can do to address the problem.
One is to learn all you can about
retirement planning. For many, that
means sitting down with a qualified
financial advisor to determine how
much money you will need and
what its source will be.
Another step you can take is to in-
vestigate options to ensure you get a
check in the mail every month,
guaranteed for the rest of your life.
t'or some, that may mean consid-
ering an annuity. Annuities can be a
type of personal retirement program

with many of the same benefits of
the company pension plans of the
past.
There are a wide variety of annui-
ties available that offer an array of
benefits including protection of
principal or income, guaranteed
death benefits, tax advantages and a
range of retirement income options
including guaranteed income for
life.
A good retirement income plan
starts with a purposeful conversation
with your financial advisor. This
conversation should cover:

Title Business Story

Dear Editor:
'After reading your June 3 article
referring to "the disagreement be-
tween Tax Collector Lois Hunter
a"d her predecessor", I felt com-
pelled to write to clarify my position
on this matter.
'When I decided to open a tag and
title business four years ago, I ap-
proached Tax Collector Lois Hunter
about contracting with her office so
tl at the apportioned agency fees
w.puld go to Jefferson County. She
summarily rejected my business of-
fer.
The Taylor County Tax Office
welcomed my business so I set up
sl op in Perry, since title office had
to, reside in the same county as the
tax collector's office. The long dis-

tance drive has become a bit of a
hardship on me so I requested that
the state allow me to bring my busi-
ness closer to home and process the
work remotely.

My request was approved under
the condition that I get a letter of ap-
proval from Jefferson County Tax
Collector Lois Hunter. I then called
Lois, explained the situation to her,
and requested the required letter.
She stated that she did not make any
decisions without approval of the
county commissioners and if they
approved it, she would also. That is
when I asked to be on the agenda at
the next commissioner's meeting, to
explain my request.

Power Company Offers

Tips On Saving Energy

FRAN HUNT
Staff Writer

With -the summer beginning to
heat up, Progress Energy offers en-
ergy efficiency tips for residents.
Even before the critical start of
summer, temperatures have al-
ready hit 90 degrees and above in
central Florida..With the tempera-
,.tures rising and cooling systems
running for longer periods of time,
Progress Energy recommends the
following tips to help save some
electricity and dollars this season:
Set your thermostat on the high-
est comfortable setting. If you're
leaving for the day, turn it up a
couple of degrees. Do not turn
your cooling system off unless.
you'll be gone for an extended pe-
riod of time. Cooling systems
work best when they maintain a
steady temperature, instead of mak-
ing large adjustments.
Consider installing a program-
mable thermostat to adjust the.tem-
perature automatically and maxi-
mize your energy savings.
Change your filters monthly.
Dirty filters can increase operating
costs by 20 percent. Do not block
registers and return vents with fur-
niture or drapes.

Use ceiling and portable fans to
keep air circulating.
Close blinds, drapes and shades
during the hottest part of the day.
-This keeps the sun's rays from
heating your house.
Plant shade trees on the sunny
side of the house or building to
provide natural shading.
Because humid air holds more
heat, take lukewarm showers and
baths and run the bathroom exhaust
fan to reduce humidity in your
home.
Use your microwave or counter
top appliances for cooking instead
of the oven or stove.
Make sure your home is prop-
erly insulated. Progress Energy
recommends R-30 insulation for
the ceilings, R-19 for the floors,
and R-16 for outside walls. In ex-
isting homes, wall installations may
be too expensive to put in, so con-
centrate on attic and floor insula-
tion.
If you have a pool, limit the
time your pool pump runs to six
hours a day during the summer.

efficiency or to learn about Pro-
gress Energy's wide variety of pro-
grams to help customers maximize
savings on energy bills, visit the

Work Continues On

Cherry Street Gym

FRAN HUNT
Staff Writer

Work continues to progress on
the new Cherry Street Gym, lo-
cated in the old Howard Academy
building.
'Memorial weekend, Boy Scouts
from Troop 8015 worked with
Trainer Troy Carter and others,
scraping old paint from the walls,
painting and performing related
work.
"It's coming along real good,"
said Carter. "You're going to see a
lot happening here, and you're go-
ing to see it soon."
The old building comes a little
more to life each day with clean up,
repairs and a fresh coat of paint.
"I see us having more shows
here, at the old high school gym,
like the one we had before," said
Carter. "We'll be participating in

more tournaments, winning a lot
more trophies and hosting a variety
of fundraisers.
"When we get the place fixed up,
we want to sponsor a dance here,"
said Carter. "We'll be holding car
washes and other events.
"There are some doubters in the
community who don't believe in us
and what we're doing for the kids.
But we're going to show them
that with hard work and dedication,
we may have taken a mind-rattling
jab, but we're coming back for a
hard TKO," said Carter.

"No one can stop dreams, deter-
mination and a community when
they come together for a common
goal."
As he continued scraping old
cracked paint from the. walls, he
vowed, "We are going to have
World Champion from here one
day. Just wait and see."

,Drink More Water

. in Warm Weather

As the temperature begins to rise,
experts note that it is important to
take in sufficient fluids during peri-
ods of exercise or athletic practice.
The most important concern, is to
make sure students stay hydrated,
and drink water any time they want
'a drink.
Although, teams take water
breaks, it falls to the coaches to be
sure that each player drinks some-
thing.
It is particularly easy for football
players to get overheated during
practices and games, because of the
rigors of the sport.
On a national level, statistics
show that heat-related football
deaths have risen steadily.
More deaths on the football field
are now caused by heat, rather than
)bell, by direct contact.
rker, In an effort to keep players safe,
parents and coaches should note

these tips:
*Keep an eye on the thermometer.
*Whenever possible, practice dur-.
ing the cooler parts of the day
*Drink plenty of liquids, e\clud-
ing those with caffeine.
*Plan to have regular v.ater
breaks.
*Practice for shorter periods of
time in hot weather.
*Factor in the humidity n~hen
planning outdoor activities.
*Learn about nutrition and body
requirements.
Consider .drinking Gatorade,
which puts electrolytes back into
the body.
It is important for players to tell,,,
coaches when they are not feeling'
well.
Authorities state that play ers
should not push themselves too
hard in hot weather and it is best to
be safe.

ton to excel -in the sport, or any-
thing else in life.
Larry is the son of Belle Parrish

When asked if he was nervous
about the tryout, he responded,
"Yeah, I'm real nervous, I've al-
ways been a Braves fan and I've
never had people really looking at
me like they will be there, before.
There's so much pressure, I have

C uBose's Minstry

Focuses On Youth

EBBIE SNAPP
taff Writer.

Destin DuBose, Minister of Music
and Education at Monticello First
Baptist Church, came to the church
in Sept., 2003.
The Perry resident received his
Bachelor of Music Degree in 2000
and earned his Master of Divinity
Degree from Samford University in
Birmingham, AL, in 2003.

. -.-.

DuBOSE
During his seven years in Bir-
1ningham he was Interim Pastor at
three different churches.
DuBose accepted Jesus Christ into
his heart when he was just six years

old. He has been involved in church
and church activities ever since and
has enjoyed the teaching of the
Word.
He states: "I'm a Christian because
I believe in Christ and I believe in
the Scriptures. Every Christian
should truthfully ask themselves,
'Why do I believe what I believe?'.
They should take time to reflect on
this and conclude their true belief."
His mother has always been, and
continues to be, a strong, vital influ-
ence in his life.
DeBose's desire is to teach youth
that God is relevant and real. "I
want them to know that it's not
about religion, it's about a relation-
ship with Jesus Christ," he said.
I want them to realize that God
permeates every bit of their life.
And, not just their life on Sundays
and holidays.
"I would like to see the youth
groups at First Baptist grow in num-
ber, as well as spiritually," he said.
He adds that Quest Youth Camp
2005, possibly the biggest event of-
fered to the youth, is an event he en-
joys.
Held in Chattanooga, TN, from
July 25-29, it is a time for youth to
come together to praise and_
worship.

Child Identity Theft

Is Growing Problem

FRAN HUNT
Staff Writer

Family and Consumer Sciences
Extension Agent Heidi Copeland
recently shared some information
from the University of Florida
warning parents of child identity
theft.
Identity theft is not just for
adults. Offenses against children
are on the rise, and a UF consumer
education expert says the problem
can actually be worse for younger
victims.
Many parents don't realize that
:child identity theft exists, which
.means the crime often goes unde-
tected for years. Parents need to
-know how to recognize child iden-
tity theft because early discovery
can greatly reduce the impact on
victims.
If the crime is reported promptly,
".the thief has less time to run.up
debt, and authorities have a better
-,chance of finding evidence.
For children under 18, the num-
.ber of identity theft complaints re-
ported to the US Federal Trade
'.Commission increased by more
than half between 2003 and 2004,
'from about 6,400 cases to 9,800.
,,During the same time, the percent-
'.age of child victims among all
i'.'identity theft cases increased from
three to four percent.
In some respects, identify thieves
.treat personal data from children
,.,and adults the same way. Most of-
ten, they use stolen information to
conduct fraudulent financial trans-
actions, though they sometimes use
it to obtain government documents
;":such as driver's licenses or give it
to the police when stopped or
,;charged with a crime.
But when it comes to credit card
'fraud, child identity theft differs in
an important respect: Thieves nec-
essarily create new credit accounts
Sfor child victims, whereas most
cases of adult 'identity theft in-
volves existing accounts. That can
make the crime worse for child vic-
tims.
According to the 2003 FTC Sur-
vey, victims of new account fraud
spend four times as much time and
-almost five times as much money
',clearing their records, compared
with victims who had only existing
accounts accessed.
Victims of new account fraud are
1%,also far more likely to encounter
.other problems, such as a denial of
.'-credit, loss of utility or phone serv-
ice, and criminal investigation.
Safeguarding a child's identity re-
jquir.>S many precautions that par-
',ents should take for themselves, but
with a few twists .
"'A"

Preschool age children are un-
likely to be approached by scam-
mers, so parents must bare the bur-
den of protecting documents and
other information. Parents should
avoid carrying their child's Social
Security card, and should complain
if their child's school uses Social
Security numbers to identify stu-
dents.
For older children, the popularity
of personal computers in homes
and schools creates the risk that
they will be victimized by Internet
scams such as "phishing".
Even bright children who are
computer-savvy may not under-
stand the dangers of being too free
with their personal information.
It is recommended that parents
monitor their children's Internet
use, talk to their kids about identity
theft, and tell them what informa-
tion they should and should not
share with others.
Parents should also monitor in-
coming mail for children of all ages
because credit card offers and even
debt collection notices can indicate
credit activity is taking place al-
ready.
Getting a credit card offer ad-
dressed to your child does not nec-
essarily mean there's a problem. If
you have opened a bank account or
a frequent flyer card in your child's

name, your child may receive mass
mailings from credit card affiliates.
Parents should call the company
that has the child's information and
see if they're on a marketing list.
Receiving debt collection notices
in your child's name is a much
more serious indication that your
child's information is being mis-
used and warrants checking the
child's credit report with the three
major credit reporting agencies:
Experian, TransUnion and Equifax.
Parents should consider checking
their children's credit reports every
year, especially if they suspect their
personal information has been
compromised.
Ordering an annual credit card re-
port for your child increases the
likelihood that you will uncover
child identity theft in a timely fash-
ion. If no credit accounts have
been established in your child's
name, the credit agencies will in-
form you that your child does not
have a credit report.
A new federal law will make free
credit reports available to residents
of southeastern states, effective
June 1. The law provides for a
gradual roll-out of this benefit.
West Coast consumers were the
first to gain access.
Parents who discover evidence of
child identity theft should immedi-

ately report fraudulent activity to
one of the three major credit report-
ing agencies and ask that a fraud
alert be placed on the child's credit
record. Parents should also contact
any creditors listed in the child's
credit report and file a police
report.
It is vital for parents of child vic-
tims to understand the seriousness

of this crime and take action
promptly. _____

A person's credit score is not only
for getting credit, but also for ob-
taining insurance, finding housing,
and applying for jobs. ID theft can
have a very far-reaching impact.
Free annual credit reports can be
ordered by phone at 877-322-8228
